Document History and Approvals

A diverse and inclusive culture is essential to the long-term success of NorthStandard and enabling us to respond to our diverse Member and wider stakeholder needs, as we create an environment that promotes dignity and respect for all. We acknowledge that advancing diversity demands commitment and action from all levels of the organisation and the Board will set the tone for inclusion and diversity across the business. 

We understand the richness a diverse Board brings in providing the range of perspectives, insights and challenges needed to support good decision making. At NorthStandard diversity encompasses, amongst other things, experience, skills, tenure, age, geographical expertise, professional background, gender, ethnicity, disability, and sexual orientation. 

NorthStandard’s Nominations Committee will monitor the balance of skills, knowledge, experience and diversity on the Board; leading to successful planning for appointments to the Board and the senior executive team. New appointments will be made on merit, taking into account the specific skills and experience needed to ensure a rounded Board and the diversity benefits each candidate can bring to the overall Board composition. 

NorthStandard’s Nominations Committee shall also ensure that the Group’s recruitment process facilitates NorthStandard’s diversity and inclusion policy.
