BOARD OF TRUSTEES

 

Good corporate governance starts with the Board of Trustees. The Board is composed of members who are leaders in their respective fields who were selected for their integrity and probity.  The Board ensures a high standard of best practice for governance and sets the strategic directions of the Company. It also monitors Management’s performance towards the attainment of the Company’s objectives in line with its corporate mission and vision.

 

All Trustees possess all the qualifications and none of the disqualifications provided in the Company’s amended By-Laws and as required under the Insurance Commission’s Corporate Governance Principles and Leading Practices (“CGPLP”). They are experts in their own fields and competent managers in insurance and insurance-related fields.  They also have the necessary skills, training, experience and integrity that help them in the performance of their roles and responsibilities as guardians of the corporation.
