Dear shareholders, I am pleased to present the remuneration and nomination committee report for the year ended 31 December 2018. The full remuneration policy and implementation report appears in our supplementary report online.
This committee enables the board to effectively discharge its duties in relation to the group's remuneration and nomination aspects. It provides independent and objective oversight that will:
The committee does not assume the functions of management, which remain the responsibility of executive directors, prescribed officers and other members of senior management, nor does it assume accountability for functions performed by other committees of the board.
The board ensures that members of this committee have a suitably balanced blend of skills and experience to enable the committee to discharge its functions.
For the review period, the committee comprised a majority of independent non-executive directors. Attendees include the chief executive officer, finance director, executive head: human resources (HR) and other individuals with specific skills and expertise to assist members in their deliberations.
