Material Actions and Disclosures
The company has established a diversity policy that sets out the beliefs, goals, and strategies of the organisation, aiming to reflect the circumstances of the company and the industry in which it operates. The policy includes a requirement for the board to establish measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity and to assess annually the progress made towards achieving these objectives.
The company’s diversity policy also includes a requirement for the board to assess annually the objectives set for achieving gender diversity. The aim is to achieve these objectives over the coming 3 to 5 years as director and senior executive positions become vacant and appropriately skilled candidates are available.
The company does not have a formally constituted audit committee as the board does not consider it warranted given the size of the company. However, the board reviews the performance of the external auditors on an annual basis and a representative of the board meets with them at least three times a year to review the proposed scope and timing of audit visits, the results and findings of the audit, and the draft financial statements and audit review reports.
