Annual Report

 

The Corporate Governance Statement contained within the Company's annual report for the period ended 31 December 2011 reported that the Company did not presently have a diversity policy. The Company did however state in the Corporate Governance Statement as follows:

 

"The Group employs a broad mix of individuals reflecting its philosophy of hiring the best candidate for all positions at all levels irrespective of race, religion or gender. In terms of the composition of the Board and Board nominations, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee regularly reviews the composition of the Board and will consider the requirements of the Davies Report and the Australian Stock Exchange Principles as part of the process of determining the composition of the Board that is the most appropriate for the group"

 

A Diversity Policy had not been formalized during the year as the Company was still in the process of reviewing and ensuring that various stakeholder groups across all jurisdictions, namely Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Australia, The United Kingdom and Canada are considered in preparing such a policy. Whilst a formal policy was not in place, the Company operated in accordance with the philosophy stated above and in the Corporate Governance Statement.
