Our Governance

Governance Philosophy

 

Good governance underpins our value creation

The Board of SANBS serves as the focal point and custodian of corporate
governance in the Company. The way it performs its duties sets the tone for ethical
and effective leadership and it endeavours to embody the characteristics of
integrity, competence, responsibility, accountability, fairness and transparency.

For the year ended 31 March 2023 the Board is satisfied that it has fulfilled its
responsibilities in accordance with the Companies Act, the Board Charter, King IV
and other applicable regulatory and legislative requirements.

 

Corporate Governance Aligned to King IV Principles:

King IV underpins SANBS’ governance approach and the corporate governance
principles and practices which inform this. This chapter summarises our alignment to
the principles of King IV across the following categories:

  • Leadership, ethics and corporate citizenship;
  • Strategy, performance and reporting;
  • Governing structures and delegation of authority;
  • Governance of functional areas; and
  • Stakeholder relationships.

We believe that Corporate Governance is key to:
