Governance & Communication

Team Overview

Governance in the Group extends beyond mere legislative and regulatory compliance. The Board and management strive to entrench an enterprise-wide culture of good governance aimed at ensuring that decisions are taken in a fair and transparent manner, within an ethical framework that promotes the responsible consideration of all stakeholders, while also holding decision-makers appropriately accountable.
 
The Board is the highest decision-making body for those matters that are of significance to the Group as a whole, due to their strategic, financial or reputational implications or consequences. It operates in terms of an approved Board charter, which regulates the parameters within which the Board operates and ensures the application of the principles of good corporate governance in all its dealings.
 

Integrity is one of Aspen’s enduring core values. This is expressed through a strong commitment by our leaders that Aspen’s business is conducted ethically and in compliance with applicable laws. Our Ethics and Compliance program is therefore designed to ensure awareness of, and accountability for, compliance with the Aspen Code of Conduct and its supporting framework of policies, an approach which applies both internally as well as with our external business partners. The programme is modelled on the guidance and expectations of applicable national regulators, as well as good practices endorsed by public international organizations such as the OECD, Transparency International and the United Nations.
