GOVERNANCE

access Bank continues to have an outstanding
track record of excellence when it comes to cor-

porate governance. We recognise that long-

term competitiveness and performance are
influenced, not just by economic factors,

but by social and environmental consider-
ations, and that good corporate govern-

ance and sustainability go hand in hand.

From simple measures such as em-
ploying a secure electronic portal to cir-
culate papers to Board members to giving
a Board committee the dedicated responsi-
bility for sustainability, we take our sustainabil-
ity obligations seriously.

We are committed to best practice in all other ar-
eas of corporate governance which include strict
performance monitoring, careful appointment of ex-
perienced and capable Directors, and outlining the roles
of Board Committees. This is why Access Bank will always
be in the leading rank.
We are transparent in all our dealings by maintaining high eth-
ical standards. We have implemented a robust whistleblowing
procedure to ensure we stay on the right course.

We adhere to and strive to exceed the regulatory requirements. That
way, you can be sure that a better and more sustainable tomorrow
awaits, not just because of our vision, resources and capabilities, but be-
cause of the way we believe in getting there.
