The Board of Directors is to have a collective working expertise that is relevant to the Company’s industry or sector. Majority of the Board should consist of non-executive directors in order to secure objective, independent judgment on corporate affairs and to substantiate proper checks and balances. Additionally, at least three or one-third of the Board, whichever is higher, must be independent directors. This ensures that no director or group of directors can dominate the decision making process, protecting the Company’s interest over the interest of individual shareholders. A lead independent director is designated should the Chairman of the Board not be independent and is authorized to lead the Board in cases where management has clear conflicts of interest. The diversity of our Board of Directors is vital as we aim to create a diverse and inclusive organization. The Company’s Board Diversity Policy can be found in its Board Charter.

Its purpose is to maximize the organization's long-term success, creating sustainable value for its shareholders, stakeholders and the nation.
