Chairmen of respective Board Committees. The SPA for the Board Committee members is similar to the Directors’ SPA, which is intended to assess their contribution, performance, calibre and personality in relation to the skills, experience and other qualities they bring to the Board/Board Committees. The SPA also examines the ability of each Board or Committee member to give input at meetings and to demonstrate a high level of professionalism and integrity in the decision-making process. It also takes into account the ability of each individual member to exercise independent judgement and demonstrate objectivity and clarity of thought on issues during deliberations at meetings, provide logical honest opinion and offer practical and realistic advice to the discussions. The feedback from the T op Management was also being sought via the360 Degree Assessment questionnaires and interviews. The Management’s feedback on the Board’s role and the extent of collaboration between the Board and Management in certain focus areas and in the review/decision-making process are useful for the Board’s consideration in enhancing its overall effectiveness. Based on the 2023 BEA results, the Board demonstrated solid performance with an overall rating of 4.3 across various effectiveness indicators, including Corporate Strategy & Direction Setting, Board Governance & Oversight, Board Composition, Boardroom Conduct & Dynamics, and Board Management & Operations. Peer assessments further underscored the Directors’ performance with a notable average score of 4.6, indicating that each Director was generally effective in dispensing his/her responsibilities. Building upon the insights from the 2022 BEA, the Board continued to showcase strong and effective leadership in 2023. It was highlighted by both the Board and Management that there was a clear distinction of roles and responsibilities of the Chairman and President/CEO, signalling robust and effective leadership in guiding the Company’s direction.
