2. Chairman and Managing Director
There is a clear division of responsibilities between the Chairman and
the Managing Director to ensure a balance of power and authority.
Chairman
The Chairman, Mr Ronnie C. Chan, provides leadership for the Board.
He is responsible for ensuring that all Directors receive, in a timely
manner, adequate information which must be accurate, clear, complete
and reliable and that Directors are properly briefed on issues arising at
Board Meetings. He also ensures that:
• the Board works effectively and discharges its responsibilities;
• all key and appropriate issues are discussed by the Board in a
timely manner;
• good corporate governance practices and procedures are
established; and
• appropriate steps are taken to provide effective communication
with shareholders and that their views are communicated to the
Board as a whole.
He, at least annually, holds meetings with the Non-Executive Directors
(including Independent Non-Executive Directors) without the Executive
Directors being present.
He is primarily responsible for drawing up and approving the agenda
for each Board Meeting. He takes into account, where appropriate, any
matters proposed by the other Directors for inclusion in the agenda, or
delegates such responsibility to the Company Secretary.
He encourages all Directors to make an active contribution to the
Board’s affairs and takes the lead to ensure that the Board acts in the
best interests of the Company. He encourages Directors with different
views to voice their concerns, allows sufficient time for discussion on
issues for the Board to deliberate and reach decisions.
He promotes a culture of openness and debate by facilitating the
effective contributions of Non-Executive Directors in particular and
ensures constructive relations between Executive Directors and Non-
Executive Directors.
