The 2GO Board of Directors is responsible for the long-term sustainability of the Company, and ensures that it balances its corporate objectives with the best interest of its shareholders and other stakeholders. The 2GO Board is composed of nine (9) highly respectable professionals, two (2) of whom, are non-executive-independent directors. In line with corporate governance best practice, the Company’s independent directors are free from management responsibilities, substantial shareholdings and material relations, all of which are perceived to impede independent judgment. Likewise, the roles of the Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer are held by separate individuals to promote a balanced Board, and increase accountability and controls.
