Board Composition and Effectiveness Our Board consists of individuals from various backgrounds, each bringing unique academic qualifications, experiences, knowledge and skills. This diversity enables the Board to collectively draw on a diverse yet balanced group of individuals to provide insights, perspectives, fostering independent judgement and effective leadership to lead and steer the Group’s business. Independent Directors Independent Directors play a crucial role in ensuring objectivity to the oversight function of the Board and evaluate the performance and well-being of the Company without any COI or undue influence. They act independently of Management and are free from any business or other relationships that could compromise their independent judgement or their ability to act in the best interests of the Company.
