Social
Employees - Our Most valuable Asset
The efforts and expertise of our team members form the foundation upon which our company is built. We strive to create a relationship-based and collaborative work environment and place the health and safety of our employees above all else. We are a fair and equal opportunity employer and seek equity and diversity at all levels.
Community
All successful organizations have a responsibility to elevate the local communities in which they operate. On an on-going basis, A-Mark supports a variety of community-based causes, including those devoted to mitigating food insecurity and closing the opportunity divide.
Governance
We maintain corporate governance policies which incorporate best practices in order to benefit the interests of all stakeholders. We believe that a corporation’s culture is set by the “Tone at the Top”, and the starting point for our corporate governance program is our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for our Board of Directors. We have similar codes in place for our Senior Financial Officers and our employees in general. Each of these codes reflects our view that the key elements of an effective corporate governance program are accountability, transparency, fairness, and responsibility.
Our Board composition reflects our commitment to diversity. We have two women directors, and one director who is from an under-represented community.
The Chairman of our Board is independent, and we have a majority of independent directors who meet regularly in executive session. Independent directors chair the Board’s Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees. In total, seven of our nine directors are independent.
