Corporate Governance Principles

The 11 Corporate Governance Principles serve as guidelines adopted by the highest authority of each company to govern their respective organization.

The implementation of the principles allows the companies to remain competitive and gain good revenues while taking into account long-term impacts and the ability to adapt under changing factors. The principles also remind them to conduct business with responsibility and create value for sustainable business growth.

The Group’s focus on entrepreneurship allows us to recognize new opportunities, and to adapt our businesses to remain competitive in evolving markets.

Our many interconnected businesses enable us to deliver higher quality and better service to our customers. Our Corporate Governance Principles ensure that we pursue any synergy in full compliance with all relevant laws and regulations.

Our entrepreneurial mindset has enabled us to grow into the multinational business that we are today. However, our risk strategy ensures that our entrepreneurship flourishes strictly in line with the long-term interests of the Group and its stakeholders.

Each board provides clear directions and defines sustainable processes to ensure we continue to grow as a robust and forward-looking business. Management is then empowered to implement this direction and measure success.

Each of our Directors deliver a unique contribution to the Board on which they serve. We expect all of our Directors to carry out their duties with independence and resolve.

All C.P. Group Boards and Directors must actively educate themselves on all aspects of the company, its industries and all relevant external developments so that they have the information they need to perform their duties.

We strive to ensure that the composition of our Boards is well-balanced. We identify a suitable size and structure for each business, and we seek to fill those positions with Directors who have diverse experience and skills.

It is the responsibility of the Board to set, oversee and, for listed companies, disclose the remuneration framework. The Board must establish and enforce clear guidelines on Director and Management compensation, as well as benchmarks and performance assessments on individuals, committees and the Board as a whole. Listed companies are also advised to appoint external consultants to ensure transparency.

Good corporate governance goes beyond regulatory compliance. It requires respectful management of the relationships between the Group and its stakeholders. Whenever appropriate, we engage in robust dialogue with these groups. Assessing our effectiveness in maintaining this dialogue is a key element in the way we measure our success.

All our shareholders have the right to timely information about our business performance and the right to communicate with management. As a result, each Board must disclose clear and comprehensive financial reports and ensure that effective controls are in place to safeguard transparency and integrity in our reporting.

We expect our Boards, management and staff to maintain high ethical standards at all times. We require them to treat our suppliers, our customers and the environment with respect and dignity, and to perform the necessary due diligence to ensure that our partners do the same.
