Corporate Governance at Benjamin Moore
Since the company was founded in 1883, Benjamin Moore has remained steadfast in our business commitment to quality, integrity and distribution of our products. Our leaders and employees continue to be held to the high standards of our core values.
As an entity of Berkshire Hathaway company, we not only have a responsibility to our stakeholders—employees, retailers, customers and communities—but also an obligation to the leaders and shareholders of our parent company, and we adhere to the Berkshire Hathaway Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and Prohibited Business Practices.
Led by our CEO who has 35 years of service with the company, along with our executive leadership team, and senior management, Benjamin Moore is guided by a group of experienced professionals focused on the longevity of our business and providing a portfolio of products that meet the needs of our customers.
The last year was filled with unprecedented challenges from the ongoing pandemic to the disruption in supply chain and labor shortages felt across all sectors. Our Business Continuity task force continued to meet regularly throughout 2021, evaluating risks and working to maintain a sustainable business model ensuring we had the right products available to meet the needs of our customers while continuing to keep proper safety measures in place for our employees.
