Corporate Governance

At Williams, we are committed to running our business with the integrity and openness that is at the heart of our Core Values & Beliefs. The information in this section represents the formalization of this commitment.

The focus on corporate governance throughout the boardrooms of America is as much about the quality of information companies provide, as it is about the quantity of information. On both scores, Williams' board and the company's management have taken a number of steps to strengthen the governance of the company and ensure compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and related Securities & Exchange Commission regulations.

Indeed, corporate governance is an issue we take very seriously. Our corporate governance policies and activities are designed to provide our shareholders with company information that is accurate, timely and meaningful.
