Corporate Governance
The relatively compact scale of the Group’s operations, combined with our flat management structure, facilitates excellent communication between the Non-Executive Board and the Executive Leadership Team. This sets the tone for a robust and open governance culture.
The Board understands that the strength of its governance relies on having the right mix of skills and experience around the Boardroom table and ensuring there is continuity in Board membership. The Board conducts a rigorous evaluation of its performance each year and the evaluation is externally facilitated every three years.
The Board is committed to an open dialogue with all stakeholders and considers their views on relevant matters.
