Baxter's board of directors takes very seriously their duty to act in a manner that balances the needs of all key stakeholders. To that end, Baxter's board recognizes the importance of good corporate governance as a means of addressing the needs of employees, communities, customers and shareholders.

The board of directors has five committees, all of which consist solely of independent directors. These committees address topics like integrity of financial reporting, employee benefit plans and compensation of Baxter´s executives, corporate governance, financial affairs, and social responsibility.

Baxter's lead director is currently Walter E Boomer. The Corporate Governance Committee recommends a lead director to the full board for approval on an annual basis. The lead director presides at all executive sessions of the non-employee directors and acts as a liaison between the non-employee directors and the Chairman of the Board. In addition, the lead director serves as the contact person to facilitate communications by Baxter employees and shareholders directly with the non-management members of the Board.
