corporate governance

board committees

The effectiveness of the board committees is formally assessed every two years and the last assessment was completed in 2007. The Chairman of each of the committees was responsible for implementing the agreed actions to improve the committees’ effectiveness. Progress in this regard is reported to the nominations committee and the board.

The board committees have unreserved access to company information, any resources required to fulfil their responsibilities and are able to obtain professional advice, at the expense of the group, where necessary.

The Chief executive officer attends all the committee meetings of which he is not a member by invitation. This demonstrates the commitment to effective corporate governance within the group.
