Corporate Governance Structure
Corporate Governance Structure
The corporate governance structure is designed with clear checks and balances to ensure transparency and maximize operational efficiency. It is built on three main levels:
1. Board of Directors
Sets the vision, policies, and overall strategies to guide the organization’s sustainable growth.
2. Executive Board
Implements the policies set by the Board of Directors and oversees day-to-day operations in alignment with corporate governance principles and applicable laws.
3. Subcommittees
Specialized committees are responsible for in-depth monitoring and oversight to ensure that key policies are effectively implemented across the organization. These include:
- Governance, Risk, Compliance, and Audit (GRCA) Committee
- Compliance Committee
The subcommittees are responsible for screening and evaluating performance, thereby establishing a reliable oversight mechanism and fostering a strong culture of accountability throughout all processes.
