We understand that a diverse board will include and make good use of differences in the skills, industry experience, background, race, gender and other qualities of individual directors. Wherever possible, these differences will be balanced appropriately and will be considered in determining the optimum composition of the board. The Chairman of the Board is responsible for the evaluation of the overall performance and effectiveness of the board and this includes a review of the balance of skills, experience, independence and knowledge of the board to help ensure a diverse composition.
Asta supports board diversity without compromising on the calibre of directors. All board appointments will be made on merit and by assessing candidates against measurable objective criteria, as well as complementing and expanding the skills knowledge and experience of the board as a whole. The Remuneration and Nomination Committee of Asta Managing Agency Limited reviews and assesses board composition on behalf of the board and recommends the appointment of any new directors.
This policy has the full support of the Chairman and the Board of Directors.
