The Board recently reviewed the Gender Diversity policy to include race targets, as required in the JSE Listings Requirements. The policy is now known as the Gender and Race Diversity Policy and is available on the Company’s website. Although the policy expresses a commitment to working towards achieving gender parity by no later than 2026, already eight of the fourteen directors are female with different skills, background and qualifications. The Board has further committed through the revised policy that the Board, when considered as a whole, shall not have less than 50% directors who are Black and 30% females who are Black.
