The Board sets the tone for the Company. The way in which it conducts itself, its attitude to ethical matters, its definition of success, and the assessment of appropriate risk, all define the atmosphere within which the executive team works. The Board has ultimate responsibility for ensuring an appropriate culture in the Company to act as a backdrop to the way in which the Creating long-term sustainability Company behaves towards all stakeholders. Good corporate governance is not about adhering to codes Dear shareholder of practice (although adherence may constitute a part of the evidence of good governance) but rather about the exercise of It is important that we all remember the Board is not a a mindset to do what is right.
