The chairperson is responsible for the leadership of the board, and must exercise sound judgement based on his/her knowledge, skills and experience. The CEO, supported by the executive committee, is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Group and the development and implementation of the Group’s strategy. The roles and duties of the independent non-executive chairperson and the CEO are separate, which guarantees a fair distribution of authority and influence, and prevents any individual from possessing unchecked decision-making authority.
