Governance & compliance

Governance as an operating discipline

Our governance framework defines who decides, on what basis, and against which standard — consistently across divisions and project stages.

Board structure

Oversight and reserved matters

  • Board of directors with responsibility for strategy, capital allocation and risk appetite.
  • Reserved matters schedule defining decisions that cannot be delegated to management.
  • Audit and risk responsibilities assigned with direct access to external advisers.
  • Quarterly performance review covering financial, operational and ESG indicators.
  • Annual review of the delegation of authority and the corporate risk register.

Board

Sets strategy and risk appetite; approves capital commitments above defined thresholds.

Executive management

Executes approved plans within written authority limits and reports monthly.

Independent advisers

Legal, tax and audit professionals retained to provide external assurance.

Policies

Corporate policy framework

Anti-bribery & anti-corruption

Zero-tolerance standard applied to employees, contractors and agents, with defined reporting channels.

Procurement & conflicts of interest

Competitive sourcing thresholds, declared interests register and documented award justification.

Health, safety & environment

Data protection

Personal and commercial data handled under access-controlled systems with retention limits.

Community engagement

Ethical standards

How we expect business to be conducted

The company competes on capability, not influence. Contracts are awarded on documented merit; facilitation payments are prohibited without exception; and personnel are required to declare interests that could affect judgement.

Suppliers and partners are expected to observe equivalent standards, and material breaches are grounds for termination.

  • Written code of conduct acknowledged by all employees and contractors.
  • Interests register maintained and reviewed at board level.
  • Confidential reporting channel available to internal and external parties.
  • Compliance training refreshed annually across all divisions.
