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. One of the challenges facing any committee where individuals represent distinct interests Board is the way in which the Non-executive and the Executive but rather a risk managing and capital allocation body Directors interact. It is clear that they each have the same legal which, in addition to shaping the framework for strategic responsibility but it is generally unrealistic to expect Executive development, participates in and is accountable for the taking Directors to speak individually with the same freedom as the of appropriately calibrated risks.

  • Affirmation “Go Ahead

Scope, the employee opinion survey, goes global for the first time in its history. 98 Affirmation “Go ahead.

A plethora of acquisitions on every continent, including Nippon Dantai in Japan and a partnership with Minmetals in Shanghai, the first French-Chinese joint venture in life insurance. 00 affirmation 96 00 This was a time of panic.

The Internet was peacefully introducing profound lifestyle changes: there were 150 million Web users worldwide in 1999, half of them surfing from the United States. The Asian geopolitical landscape changed with the return of Hong Kong to the Motherland, better known as the People’s Republic of China. A historic disaster—the sinking of the Titanic—was the inspiration for the costliest movie ever made by Hollywood.
