Corporate Governance/Overview

Throughout its history, MSC Industrial Direct  has been guided by a value system that emphasizes integrity and trust at all levels of the organization. We have long standing policies and practices to ensure that our Company is managed with integrity and in our shareholders' best interests. In addition, we are committed to upholding the sound principles of corporate governance and to meeting the requirements of federal and state law and the rules of the New York Stock Exchange. In November 2003, The Board of Directors created a standing Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee and affirmed the Company's Corporate Governance Principles which, along with the charters of the Board Committees and the Company's Code of Business Conduct for associates, provide the framework for the governance of the Company.
