Corning’s continued success stems from our ongoing execution of the Strategy and Capital Allocation Framework that we introduced in 2015. The Framework articulates Corning’s leadership priorities. It’s our plan for leveraging our financial strength and focusing our portfolio to deliver value over the next several years.

Our commitment to corporate governance goes beyond compliance with accounting rules, government regulations, and SEC requirements. We share information frequently and candidly through a variety of tools from news releases to social media. We meet regularly with investors to understand their concerns. We tie executive compensation strongly to financial performance. And we are governed by a Board consisting of twelve independent directors. Most importantly, a clear set of Corporate Values guides everything we do: Quality, Integrity, Performance, Leadership, Innovation, Independence, and The Individual.
