Corporate governance
Rooted in the Caribbean, world class in governance.
The Board’s guiding mantra
One of the things that has been the foundation of the Company's success is its dedication to good corporate governance. This does not come about by chance. It is done through deliberate decisions to document and implement policies that not only enshrine what is customary, but observe and learn from incidents in the regional and international business community.
The Board's guiding mantra is “rooted in the Caribbean, world class in governance”. To this end the Board has, from 2009, conducted annual training for Directors as well as an annual Board evaluation. The findings direct the Board training plan and generate a work programme focused on continuous improvement.
The Company reports regularly on its performance through quarterly reports to shareholders in the newspapers, its Annual Reports, and Annual General Meetings, which are always held within the statutory timelines. It operates in compliance with all applicable laws and meets its quarterly reporting requirements to the Eastern Caribbean Securities Exchange, the Eastern Caribbean Securities Registry and shareholders.
