The Company’s corporate governance practices have been designed to be in compliance with applicable legal requirements and best practices. Yamana continues to monitor developments in all its applicable jurisdictions with a view to keeping its governance policies and practices current.
Although Yamana is not required to comply with most of the New York Stock Exchange listing standards regarding corporate governance, Yamana has adopted similar standards as part of its corporate governance practices. See the NYSE Statement of Differences below for a description of the significant ways in which our corporate governance practices differ from those followed by U.S. domestic companies pursuant to NYSE standards
The Board of Directors has adopted a Code of Conduct that is applicable to all directors, officers and employees of Yamana. In conjunction with the adoption of the Code, Yamana established the Yamana Integrity Helpline, a channel of communication open to directors, officers, employees, contractors, consultants and other third parties with whom Yamana conducts business, to report concerns arising from items outlined in the Code of Conduct on a confidential or anonymous basis. The Yamana Integrity Helpline can be accessed by calling a toll-free external phone number or online at www.yamana.ethicspoint.com.
A copy of the Code of Conduct and the mandates of the Board of Directors and each of the Committees of the Board, including the Audit Committee, Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, Compensation Committee and the Sustainability Committee, are available through the links below:
