THE
BOARD

Ethical and effective governance
At the heart of our vision to be one of the world’s most responsible retailers lies a steadfast commitment to ethical culture and governance excellence. We recognise that strong governance is not static and that it must continuously evolve to meet emerging challenges and remain relevant in a rapidly changing world.

As the custodian of ethical governance, the Board plays a pivotal role in setting the tone at the top. Through its leadership, the Board drives the ongoing evolution of our governance practices and organisational culture, ensuring that ethical standards are embedded across all levels of the Group. This approach strengthens our reputation, builds stakeholder trust, and supports long-term value creation and protection.

Our unitary Board structure comprises an independent Chairman, a Lead Independent Director, the Chief Executive Officer, and a balanced mix of executive and non-executive directors, with a majority being non-executive. Collectively, the Board brings a diverse range of skills, experience, and perspectives, enabling it to fulfil its fiduciary duties; provide strategic oversight; and uphold the highest standards of governance across the Group.

The Board’s diversity attributes as at 30 June 2025 are illustrated in the infographics below.
