ANNUAL REPORT 2014
Principle 4 – Foster commitment
4.1 The Board should set expectations on time commitment for its members and protocols for accepting
new directorships
The Board, on an annual basis, sets out the meeting dates for the whole financial year so that each member of the
Board is able to plan his schedule accordingly. This helps to ensure that the Board is committed to meet when the
time arises.
The Board has also established a guideline on the acceptance of new directorship by Board members. Any Director
intending to take on new directorship is required to notify the Board Chairman before accepting the new directorship
and also to confirm his commitment that the new directorship will not impair his time commitment to the Company.
Details of the Directors’ attendance at Board meetings for the financial year ended 31 December 2014 are set out
