Whilst corporate governance is a key consideration at all times for the Board, including corporate governance within the committee’s responsibilities demonstrates the commitment of Capricorn to good governance.
Following the decision to expand its remit, from March 2022, the Nomination and Governance Committee’s role also includes:
- monitoring the operation of the UK Corporate Governance Code and its implementation and compliance by the Company;
- reviewing developments in corporate governance and advising the Board with respect to developments in the law and practice of corporate governance; and
