Board Committees

Primary Role

The Nomination Committee leads the process of Board appointments, ensures plans are in place for orderly succession to the Board and senior management positions and oversees the development of a diverse pipeline for succession.

When considering the appointment of new Directors, the Nomination Committee determines the skills and experience which would be of benefit to the composition of the Board, then evaluates candidates’ skills, knowledge and experience to determine which candidate would be most suitable. All nominations by the Committee are made on the basis of merit and overall suitability, taking into consideration the diversity of the Board.

The Sustainability Committee is responsible for developing and overseeing the Group’s sustainability strategy, policies and objectives. The Sustainability Committee supports the Board’s climate responsibility and oversees the Group’s climate change strategy, to ensure climate issues are being effectively considered and managed, and reports its findings and recommendations to the Board.
