The Board regularly reviews the skills, experience and background that it believes are desirable to be represented on the Board. On an annual basis, the Board reviews each director’s skills and assesses whether there are gaps that need to be filled. As a result, recruitment is an ongoing activity. A full skills matrix can be found under “Board Self-Assessment & Skills Matrix” onpage 23.

The Board aims to strike a balance between the experience that comes from long-term service on the Board with the fresh perspective that new Board members bring, while being sensitive to the benefits of gender and racial diversity. The Board also has a mandatory retirement policy, under which no director may stand for re-election after he or she has reached the age of 75. Together with the Board's evaluation and succession planning processes, this policy supports an effective balance of experience and fresh perspectives. Please refer to “Identifying and Evaluating Candidates for Board Membership” onpage 24 for further information.
