Ethical practices and high standards of corporate governance are central to how we do business.

Our governance systems provide mechanisms for the evaluation and effective management of our operations, personnel, risks and relationships. We invest in developing our leadership, policies, systems and engagement practices to meet stakeholders’ expectations of being a trusted operator. We believe in clear, comprehensive disclosure and open communication with all of our stakeholders.

As part of our continuing efforts to enhance our corporate governance, the Board has adopted a set of Corporate Governance Guidelines.

Board of Directors

The Board provides senior management with independent, objective advice while promoting a culture of integrity. Together, the Board works with senior management to set long-term goals, develop strategy and monitor Eldorado’s progress toward achieving its goals. The Board also regularly evaluates our principal business risks and monitors the effectiveness of our risk management process. The Board is composed of the Audit, Compensation, Corporate Governance and Nominating, and Sustainability Committees.

Independent chair

Our corporate governance policies explicitly require the Chair of our Board to be independent, as well as all members of our board committees. An independent director does not have a direct or indirect material relationship with Eldorado that could interfere with their ability to offer objective judgement.

All but one of our Directors are independent as defined by corporate governance standards developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators and the New York Stock Exchange. The one non-independent Director is our President & CEO.

The Audit Committee oversees Eldorado’s financial reporting and disclosure. The Audit Committee is made up of four directors who meet the independence and financial literacy qualification under applicable securities laws. At least one member shall meet the definition of financial expert as defined by the SEC. This committee is responsible for overseeing financial reporting, internal controls, the audit process, our public disclosure documents relating to financial statements and our whistle-blower policy. The committee also recommends the appointment of an external auditor.
