Board Self-Evaluation Process
The effectiveness of the Board and its Committees is critical to BlackRock’s success and to the protection of our shareholders’ long-term interests. To maintain their effectiveness, the Board and each standing Committee annually conduct comprehensive self-evaluations to identify and assess areas for improvement.
The process includes the following steps:
| QuestionnairesTailored questionnaires for the Board and each standing Committee are reviewed and updated by the NGC Chair, in consultation with the Lead Independent Director and the other Committee Chairs, prior to distribution to each of the independent directors.Topics include:•Board and Committee roles, effectiveness and agendas;•Board and Committee culture, composition and size; and•Corporate strategy and risk oversight. | NGC ReviewThe NGC Chair, Lead Independent Director and Chairman review each director’s responses to the questionnaires.The results of the Committee evaluations are also shared with the Chairs of the Audit Committee, MDCC and Risk Committee. |
| Board Summary and FeedbackAnnually in the fall or winter, the NGC Chair along with the Chairman and Lead Independent Director provide the Board with a summary of responses to the questionnaires and additional feedback received from individual directors. | Individual Director InterviewsThe Chairman and/or the Lead Independent Director meets with each independent director individually.This enables directors to have frank conversations and address Board, Committee and individual director performance and effectiveness directly. |
| As part of their annual evaluations, our directors have identified several areas of strength, including:•Board leadership, including the Chairman’s responsiveness and engagement; •Board composition, including the diversity of experience and geography represented; and•Oversight of human capital strategy. | Changes and enhancements as a result of director feedback have included, for example:•Additional reviews and discussions regarding strategy, capital management and recently integrated acquisitions. |
