GOVERNANCE STRATEGY

It is our aspiration to be a responsible, trusted, and compliant partner across the entire value chain. We foster a culture of integrity, accountability, and inclusivity at every level of our organisation, whilst being compliant with all applicable rules and regulations.

Achieving this requires a robust governance framework that systematically incorporates sustainability into decision-making processes and daily operations. This framework is grounded in a clear definition of our social and environmental objectives, which are integrated into our mission and vision. We emphasise the importance of diligently monitoring our actions, learning from experience, and continuously refining processes to identify areas for improvement and promptly implement changes.

Integrity drives us to conduct business ethically and transparently, while stewardship ensures responsible management of resources with a focus on long-term sustainability over short-term gains.

Key aspects of our governance approach include:

• Regulatory compliance
• Promoting an inclusive and diverse Board
• Optimising organisational and work processes
• Emphasising transparency
• Upholding accountability

We are actively developing several digital initiatives to strengthen our governance framework. These projects are detailed in the concluding section of this chapter.
