Board of Directors
The Board of Directors is responsible for the management and strategic direction of the company, to ensure its long-term success by generating value for its shareholders, while giving due consideration to other stakeholders.
The Board of Directors comprises of the Non-Executive Chairman, Chief Executive, Finance Director, five independent Non-Executive Directors who have a wide range of complementary skill and experience.
The Board believes that there is an appropriate balance of Executive and Non-Executive Directors on the Board, without one individual or small group dominating the Board's decision-making process. It has also determined its Non-Executive Directors to be independent in character and judgement.
The Board has ultimate responsibility for the conduct of the company's business and its duties include approval of the Group's commercial strategy, review of the Group's system of internal controls and assessing its effectiveness, approval of annual budgets and appointments to the Board.
The Board has four committees to which it delegates responsibility for the oversight and review of activities within its terms of reference. The Audit, the Ethics and Sustainability and the Nomination and Remuneration Committee.
