What is corporate governance?

Corporate governance is the process by which companies govern themselves.

At The Hershey Company, day-to-day business activities are carried out by our employees under the direction and supervision of our Chief Executive Officer, or CEO.

  •  

Review of the Company’s performance, strategies and major decisions;

 

  •  

Oversight of the Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and the integrity of its financial statements;

 

  •  

Oversight of management, including review of the CEO’s performance and succession planning for key management roles; and

 

  •
