In order to raise the bar of good governance, we regularly reassess and benchmark ourselves with the best in the industry. We not only stringently comply with all applicable laws and regulations in the markets we operate, but always strive to go much beyond to set industry benchmarks and raise the bar continuously.
Our Board of Directors is entrusted with the responsibility of promoting good governance within the organisation. We have constituted a diverse and significantly independent Board (5/7 Directors are independent), with each member bringing years of experience and technical expertise to the table.
In compliance with the necessary regulations, we have constituted various Board committees that oversee critical matters across the organisation. Our key committees include: Audit Committee, Risk Management Committee, Nomination & Remuneration Committee, Stakeholders Relationship Committee and Corporate Social Responsibility Committee.

We are taking active strides in measuring and managing our direct and indirect environmental footprint.
