How We Are Governed

Committees

The CEC Board of Directors has established a number of sub-committees to oversee the operations of the Company, each of which is chaired by a non-executive Director.

It has delegated its authority in certain matters covering ongoing operational issues to an Executive Committee. The Executive Committee has regular contact with the management to ensure that decisions taken by management have the approval, support and input of the Board of Directors.

Safety, Health, Environmental and Social (SHES) Committee

The Committee’s key mandate is to ensure that management of SHES matters in the Company is aligned with the overall business strategy of the Company and is geared towards attainment of its commitments and obligations in these fields.
