Board of Directors

The company has a unitary board. The roles of the Chairman and Managing Director are separate and distinct, and the stature of the independent directors serving on the Board ensures that enough independence is applied when making significant decisions.

The Board Chairman is independent, and each of the sub-committees of the company is chaired by an independent director. The Board of Directors constitutes the appropriate mix of skills, experience and diversity to serve the interests of the company and its stakeholders.
