Through transparent and independent operation of the BOD, Samsung SDI ensures business management that raises the shareholders' value and respects corporate social responsibility.

The current BOD consists of five people: two internal directors, and three independent directors of ample knowledge and experience in economics, business management, law and technology.
To maintain exclusivity of the BOD, independent directors are selected after recommendation from the Nomination Committee. Those purely interested in the company do not qualify for independent directorship.Internal and independent directors are appointed after the selection procedure which take place during the shareholder's meetings.The BOD holds regular meetings every quarter and ad-hoc sessions whenever necessary to deliberate and make decisions on matters required by laws and articles of association, issues delegated by the general assembly of shareholders, and critical
matters related to business operation.


There are three committees, namely the Management Committee, the Audit Committee and the Nominations Committee, for the prudent operation of the BOD and enhanced expertise in decision making.
The Management Committee has three members including the CEO, and decides on major business issues delegated by the BOD. The Audit Committee has three independent directors and reviews the quarterly settlement of accounts and accounting management. The Nominations Committee has two internal and two independent directors and recommends candidates for the independent director position to the general assembly of shareholders.
