Leadership

Board of directors

The board has six standing committees (Audit; Social, ethics and transformation; Risk; Remuneration; Nominations and Acquisition committees) with delegated authority from the board. Each board committee is chaired by an independent non-executive director.

Diversity, in its broadest sense, is the hallmark of the Bidvest board, something we are very proud of. The non-executive directors are all independent and represent 75% of the board.

KEY TO COMMITTEES

Executive committee

The Group Exco consists of twelve members, including the Group executive directors and functional executives covering strategy, finance, transformation, ESG, business development, as well as the seven divisional chief executive officers. The Group believes that its decentralised governance structure supported by experienced management, many of whom are specialised in particular sectors or industries, leading the day-to-day operations of the businesses, positions the Group well for the continued focus and execution of its key strategic initiatives. As a result, most of the members of the Group's senior management team (whether focused on individual businesses, divisions or the Group as a whole) are heavily rooted, not just in the relevant industry or industries from decades of prior experience, but also in the Group's journey to the diversified business that it is today.
