ABOUT OUR BOARD
The Board is structured as required by our Memorandum of Incorporation (MOI) and the roles and responsibilities of the Directors are set out in the Board Charter, which was reviewed during the reporting period.
As an entity, the Board holds the overall responsibility for the leadership, control and performance of the Company in line with legislation, regulation and best practice. Each Board member has a fiscal and fiduciary responsibility to act in good faith and in the best interests of the Company and all of its stakeholders.
The Board delegates certain responsibilities to the Committees of the Board without abdicating any of its responsibilities. There are five permanent Committees and one ad hoc Committee. The five permanent Committees met as scheduled and the details of their activities are provided below. The ad hoc Board Economic Regulation Committee only meets as required and did not meet during the reporting period. Each Committee operates within formal terms of reference, which were reviewed during the reporting period.
The Board is satisfied that the delegation of authority framework provides role clarity and supports the effective exercise of authority and responsibilities.
DIVERSITY
The Board embraces gender, ethnic, race and age diversity as a prerequisite for ensuring its continuing relevance and effectiveness in a complex business landscape. Our shareholders, who are responsible for nomination and appointment of Board members, recognise the need for diversity and support its application.
In addition, a diverse and inclusive culture is embedded within the Board. Our Directors are confident that robust discussion results in the deliberation of wide-ranging views and that, as directors, they serve in an environment where bias, discrimination and harassment are not tolerated.
The majority of Board members are independent directors, as recommended by King IV.
SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE
Board members are appointed based on their knowledge and experience, providing the broad base of skills necessary to achieve the company’s objectives. The capacity of individual members continues to be enhanced on an ongoing basis with skills that are directly relevant to the business. These include competencies in aviation, law, policy, strategy, finance, corporate finance, accounting, auditing, economic regulation, governance, asset and risk management, stakeholder relationship management, international relations, and information and communications technology (ICT), among others.
BOARD EVALUATION
The annual Board evaluation was conducted as scheduled. This included an assessment of the Board as a whole as well as assessments of the Chairman of the Board, the individual Directors, the Board Committees and the Chairpersons of the Board Committees.
The evaluation of the Board covered the application of governance principles in the following areas of activity:
- Board attributes and culture
- Ethical culture and conduct
- Board meetings and processes
- Risk Management
- Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance;
- Oversight over the ACSA Strategy
- Information and Communication Technology
- Stakeholder management
- Role of the Chairman
- Role of the Chief Executive Officer
- Role of the Company Secretary
- Board induction, orientation and development
- Individual director assessment (peer review).
Some development areas were identified, including cybersecurity, IT infrastructure, ESG framework implementation, risk sensing and scenario modelling. There were, however, many areas in which there had been improvement, including stakeholder management, the level of reporting to the various committees and the implementation of a succession planning process. The Board, together with management, also needs to consider assessing in-house skills as a number of employees were lost during the severance package process that was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The performance of the Committees of the Board was also evaluated and they were found to have effectively discharged their roles and responsibilities.
The office of the Company Secretariat continues to provide unfettered guidance and support to the Board and the Committees. The CEO continues to ensure the effective implementation of the strategy and related strategic objectives.
The Board and the Committees of the Board will continue to focus on the following critical areas during the current period (FY2023):
- Financial sustainability and recovery
- Business competitiveness
- Risk management
- Revenue diversification
- Innovation
- Cybersecurity
- Aviation
- Succession planning
- ESG
Further details relating to these focus areas are available in the ACSA Governance and Remuneration Report for 2022.
