Appointment process
The Board recognises the need to ensure the Board and senior management are always well resourced,
with the suitable people in terms of skills and experience to deliver the Group’s strategy.
There is a formal and transparent procedure for the appointment of new directors to the Board, the
primary responsibility of which has been delegated to the Nomination and Governance Committee.
The Nomination and Governance Committee is composed of the Chairman and two independent non-
executive directors. This composition ensures that any decisions made are impartial and are in the best
interest of the Company.
The Nomination and Governance Committee’s assessment of the candidates includes, but is not limited to,
consideration of the relevant knowledge and diversity of backgrounds, skills, experience and perspectives
that would complement the existing Board.
The Nomination and Governance Committee also ensures that candidates satisfy the requisite skills and
core competencies to be deemed fit and proper, and to be appointed as director. The nomination process
involves the following six stages:
Evaluation of the Board composition
and establishment of desired criteria
for prospective directors
Identification of
candidates
Evaluation of
suitability of candidates
Meeting with
candidates
Final deliberation by
Nomination and Governance Committee
