The Board of Directors of the East Caribbean Financial Holding Company Limited is responsible for the governance of the Group, and is committed to adhering to the highest standards of corporate governance. It is guided by a formal Corporate Governance Policy. The Board comprises appointed and elected directors. It sets policies for and reviews the Group’s strategies, financial objectives, operating plans, and plans for management succession. The Board meets every month and special meetings may be held when the need arises.
The Board provides leadership of the Group within a framework of sound corporate governance practices, as well as prudent and effective controls that facilitate risk assessment and management. It sets the Group’s strategic goals and objectives. The Board establishes the company’s values and ensures that its obligations to shareholders and other stakeholders are understood and met.
All directors must take decisions objectively in the interest of the company.
There is a clear delineation of responsibilities between the running of the Board and the executive responsibility for the running of the Group. To facilitate accountability and transparency, no one individual or group of individuals dominates the decision making process. The roles of Chairman and Managing Director cannot be exercised by the same individual.
The Board comprises ten members, nine of whom are elected or appointed by the holders of ordinary shares and one, the Managing Director, is an executive director. Collectively, the members of the Board must demonstrate a balance of skills and experience appropriate for the requirements of the business.
