Board Committees

The Board has established a number of Committees to oversee, consider and make recommendations to the Board on important issues of policy and oversight. At each Board meeting, the Committee chairmen provide oral reports of the key issues considered at earlier Committee meetings, and minutes are circulated to the Board. The Committees operate within specific terms of reference approved by the Board. These terms are published on the Group's website and are also available from the Group Company Secretary and General Counsel on request. Board Committees are authorised to engage the services of external advisers at the Company's expense, whenever they consider this necessary.

Membership of the Committees is reviewed by the Chairman of the Committee and the Nomination and Governance Committee, at regular intervals. New appointments are considered by the Nomination and Governance Committee for onward recommendation to the Board.
