BOARD GENDER DIVERSITY
The AfroCentric Board believes that a board made up of highly qualified directors from diverse backgrounds, reflective of the
changing demographics of the economy, practices better governance. The diversity criteria include gender, age, ethnicity and
geographic background in addition to meeting the Board’s requirements for skills and qualifications. At AfroCentric, 54% of the
Directors are from previously disadvantaged groups and 23% are women. AfroCentric recognises that a diverse board is able to
make decisions more effectively by reducing the risk of “groupthink”, paying more attention to managing and controlling risks, and
having a better understanding of the Group’s clients. We are planning to respond positively to the Gender Policy as per the
Johannesburg Stock Exchange (“JSE”) requirement in becoming biased towards the appointment of female directors to address
gender imbalances.
