The Manager believes that diversity in skill sets would support the work of the Board and Board Committees and needs of the Manager, and that an optimal mix of experience would help shape the Manager’s strategic objectives and provide effective guidance and oversight of Management and the Manager’s operations. The Manager continually endeavours to deepen the bench strength of the Board with complementary and relevant expertise, including in the areas of investment management and sustainability. Achieved / Achieving Target As at the end of FY 2024, the Board comprised Directors who, as a group, possess a significant majority of the identified core skills and experience. The Board will continue to look for opportunities to strengthen certain skill sets. In terms of skill sets, the Board comprises Directors with a variety of skills and expertise in areas including investment management, real estate, accounting, finance, governance, sustainability, banking and capital markets. In terms of experience, the Board comprises Directors who are corporate and business leaders and who collectively have experience in general business management, have served on public listed company boards, have international or regional experience and have exposure in various industry sectors and the China market. The charts above set out the key details relating to Board diversity, which is illustrative of how the Board has already achieved a level of diversity which fulfils the objectives as envisioned by the Board Diversity Policy – which is to leverage on the diversity in the Board in business and professional experience, age and gender to enhance the Board’s decision-making capacity and ensure that the Manager has the opportunity to benefit from all available talent and perspectives. The NRC has reviewed the size and composition of the Board and its committees and is of the opinion that the current size is appropriate with an appropriate balance and diversity of skills, knowledge, experience, gender, age and tenure, taking into account CLCT’s diversity targets, plans and timelines and objectives of the Board Diversity Policy and the CLCT Group’s business needs and plans, for effective decision-making and constructive debate. 59 Annual Report 2024
