Corporate Responsibility

Corporate Governance

Our Board of Directors is comprised of 12 individuals who bring high integrity, along with diverse backgrounds and a vast array of talent and experience, to the ethical oversight and governance of The TJX Companies, Inc. Ten of our 12 directors are independent and key committees of the Board, which meet regularly, are comprised solely of independent directors. Further, at TJX, the position of Chairman is separated from that of Chief Executive Officer. Our independent directors have, for some time, had a Lead Director and we have several Audit Committee Financial Experts in place.

Biographies of our directors, Corporate Governance Principles, a listing of the Committees of our Board of Directors and Board Committee Charters are contained in the materials that follow. Our Code of Ethics for TJX Executives is contained in Key Guidelines for Associates.
