BOARD DIVERSITY

To ensure AfroCentric’s Board reflects South Africa’s demographics and practices good governance, we employ qualified directors from diverse backgrounds. The diversity criteria include gender, age, ethnicity and geographic background, and meeting the Board’s requirements for skills and qualifications. AfroCentric recognises a diverse board makes better decisions by reducing ‘groupthink’, paying attention to managing and controlling risks, and understanding the Group’s clients. There is an approved gender policy which outlines the Board’s position on gender diversity in line with King IV requirements.

Our gender diversity policy can be viewed on https://www.afrocentric-online.co.za/reports/afrocentric-ar2020/pdf/gender-diversity-policy.pdf
