Principal 6 : Ensure that
between them the directors
have the necessary up-to-date
experience, skills and capabilities
The board must have an appropriate balance of sector, financial and public
markets skills and experience, as well as an appropriate balance of personal
qualities and capabilities. The board should understand and challenge its own
diversity, including gender balance, as part of its composition.
The board should not be dominated by one person or a group of people.
Strong personal bonds can be important but can also divide a board.
As companies evolve, the mix of skills and experience required on the board
will change, and board composition will need to evolve to reflect this change.
The Nomination Committee of the Board oversees the process and makes recommendations
to the Board regarding all new Board appointments. Where new appointments for the Board
are considered, the search for candidates is conducted, and appointments are made, on merit,
against objective criteria and with due regard for the benefits of diversity on the Board,
including gender. The Nomination Committee also considers succession planning as part of
their responsibility to ensure the consistency of the Boards activities.
