Haier Electronics Group Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2007
海爾電器集團有限公司 二零零七年年報
Corporate Governance Report
企業管治報告
Board of Directors (Cont’d)
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) (Cont’d)
Under the Code Provision E.1.2, the chairman of the board
should attend the annual general meeting. The Chairman
of the Board did not attend the 2007 annual general
meeting of the Company as she had overseas business
trip at that time.
INEDs
The INEDs have the same duties of care and skill
and fiduciary duties as the executive Directors. They
are expressly identified as such in all corporate
communications that disclose the names of the Directors.
The INEDs are experienced professionals with expertise
in areas of accounting and finance. With their professional
knowledge and experience, the INEDs advise the
Company on its operation and management; provide
independent opinion on the Company’s connected/
continuing connected transactions; participate in the
Company’s audit committee meetings and remuneration
committee meetings. The INEDs also contribute to provide
adequate checks and balance to protect the interests of
the Company and the Company’s shareholders as a whole,
and to promote the development of the Company.
The Company has received an annual confirmation of
independence from each of the INEDs pursuant to Rule
3.13 of the Listing Rules and considers that all INEDs to
be independent as the date of this report.
Under the Code Provision A.4.1, non-executive directors
should be appointed for specific terms, subject to re-
election. Currently, all INEDs are not appointed for a
specific term but are subject to retirement by rotation
at the annual general meetings of the Company in
accordance with the Company’s Bye-laws (the “Bye-
laws”). As such, the Board considers that sufficient
measures have been taken to ensure that the Company’s
corporate governance practices are no less exacting than
those in the CG Code.

主席及行政總裁（「行政總裁」）
（續）
根據守則條文E.1.2，董事會主席應出席股東週年
大會。由於董事會主席當時在海外公幹，故並無
出席本公司二零零七年度股東週年大會。
獨立非執行董事
獨立非執行董事應具有與執行董事相同之謹慎態
度及技能以及受信責任。於所有披露董事姓名之
公司通訊內，均會明確識別出獨立非執行董事。
獨立非執行董事均為資深專業人士，具備會計與
金融各範疇之專業知識。憑藉其專業知識及經
驗，獨立非執行董事就本公司之營運及管理向本
公司提供建議；就本公司之關連 ／持續關連交易
提供獨立意見；並參與本公司之審核委員會及薪
酬委員會會議。獨立非執行董事亦致力提供充分
監管與制衡，務求保障本公司及本公司股東之整
體利益，同時亦可促進本公司之發展。
於本報告日期，本公司已接獲各獨立非執行董事
根據上市規則第3.13條之規定就其獨立性發出之
年度確認，並認為全體獨立非執行董事均屬獨立
人士。
根據守則條文A.4.1，非執行董事之委任應有指
定任期，並須接受重新選舉。現時，全體獨立非
執行董事之委任均無指定任期，惟彼等須根據本
公司之公司細則（「公司細則」）於本公司股東週年
大會上輪流退任。因此，董事會認為，本公司已
採取足夠措施確保本公司之企業管治常規與企業
管治守則所載者同樣嚴緊。
