Leadership is a behavior we all embrace, regardless of job title. As leaders we ensure expectations and responsibilities are clear, lead by example, and motivate and support each other, always showing appreciation for each other’s talent and dedication. We focus on results, and we never shy away from the opportunity to improve. As leaders, we embody our culture.
“We are one global leadership team, aligned in our mission to make KRONOS the right choice for our customers, employees, partners, and communities.”
Jim Buch, President & CEO
Our Board of Directors is comprised of eight elected members with hundreds of combined years of relevant education, work experience, and training. Many of our Board members have experience working in large firms, universities, and publicly traded companies. We strive for diversity of members in relations to skills, expertise, and background. In order for an individual to be considered as a nominee for our Board, they must possess an extensive background in senior management, policymaking, or accounting/finance. We provide information on our Board members annually in our Proxy Statement submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission. The most recent Proxy Statement is available in the Investors section of this site.
At KRONOS, our operations are led by a Functional Leadership Team (FLT), comprised of our CEO and senior leaders in all functional areas of the company. Key functional areas of our business leadership include manufacturing and technology, research and development, finance, legal, ESG, human resources, sales and marketing, supply chain, information technology, and more. This team brings together all perspectives to address key business topics, critical projects, strategic goals, and continuous improvement across the company. The FLT meets regularly to review key metrics and ensures our focus remains on our business, our customers, and our people.
Built upon our long-standing governance structure of compliance and ethics-oriented leadership, policies, controls, and practices, KRONOS has a robust ESG management approach. ESG elements permeate almost every corner of our company, and our management model has evolved to position ESG as a central department within our organization. Information, innovation, and action plans flow back and forth from ESG to and from our functional areas. This allows us to tap into the expertise, capabilities and passion of a broad base of employees and managers across the company and to achieve progress on a number of environmental, social, and governance topics. Our Chief Transformation Officer is responsible for managing our overall ESG programs, making recommendations to executive management and regularly communicating about ESG matters with our Board of Directors.
