CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
The Directors of Shyamji Group place great importance on the proper governance of the Company and, in particular, the need to focus on carrying out prudent risk-taking activities which achieve a balance between:

  • The supply of goods and services of value to the Company's global customers
  • The provision of meaningful employment for employees in a way which contributes to the welfare of the community.

The Company's corporate governance framework has been designed, as a whole, to address all of these issues in a manner that will maximise the contribution of the Board and management to the success of the business.

Summaries of the Company's corporate governance policies and charters (and a copy of the Audit and Risk Committee charter) are set out below.
