Corporate Governance

Trust is our license to operate. It is a prerequisite for us to be able to conduct our business and uphold our critical function in society. To cherish the trust that our customers, shareholders, employees and other stakeholders have placed in us is therefore of utmost importance.

Professional employees who are guided by a high standard of business conduct are crucial, as is maintaining a sound risk culture, internal control and a robust corporate governance framework with clearly defined roles and responsibilities.
