Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors is a highly skilled, experienced and diverse team that ensures effective oversight of our business. Today, Parker’s Board is composed of 10 Directors who work under a dual-leadership structure comprised of a Chairman and an Independent Lead Director. All Board committee members and nine of the 10 Directors are “independent” based on the New York Stock Exchange listing standards and Parker’s internal independence standards.

The comprehensive policies and standards that govern the Board, and the continuous assessment of its Directors, help strengthen our governance and ensure Parker continues to operate in alignment with our values.

The Code is designed to ensure our Board of Directors, team members, consultants, independent contractors, suppliers, agents and representatives refect expected standards of behavior. The Code also supports our belief that integrity is not just a corporate responsibility, but also a personal one that our team members put into action every day
