The Corporate Responsibility team welcomes feedback.
Corporate governance is concerned with how the company is directed and managed; objective setting; risk management; and performance assessment.
We understand corporate governance as part of the broader corporate responsibility framework - it is about promoting fairness, transparency and accountability by setting out the rights and responsibilities of the Board, management and shareholders.
Growing evidence links good governance and enhanced shareholder returns. More than just showing a further commitment to doing the right thing, good governance is a strong indicator of overall management capability and quality.
The main framework we report against is the Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations from the ASX Ltd Corporate Governance Council. We consider that our governance practices comply with the 27 Recommendations.
