Governance Principles

Abbott has a long tradition of ensuring the independence of the majority of our board of directors. Independent board members chair the public policy, audit, compensation, and nominations and governance committees. Among the criteria for candidates of the board are a global business perspective and a commitment to good corporate citizenship.
