CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
The Board is committed to providing
an environment and opportunities that
encourage and reinforce the corporate culture
of the Group. It is committed to extending
the values that it promotes to include all

qualities and capabilities. Access is committed

structures to strengthen decision-making
e昀昀ectiveness. Directors keep their skillset up
to date in a variety of ways, and their skills and
expertise are reviewed on an annual basis.
Key responsibilities include developing and
implementing corporate strategy, leading
the Access Management Team, driving
performance standards, overseeing key risks
across all Group companies, supporting

management framework.
The Non-executive Directors act as a sounding
board for the Chief Executive O昀케cer and
a trusted intermediary for other Board
members, leads the Chief Executive O昀케cer’s
performance review, and acts as an additional
point of contact for investors.
