In accordance with corporate governance best practices, Polymetal carried out an externally facilitated Board evaluation in 2016. Fidelio Partners, an independent Board Development and Executive Search consultancy, conducted the evaluation. The purpose of the evaluation was an in-depth review of Board effectiveness. The evaluation covered a number of aspects relating to the work of the Board and also provided suggestions and recommendations to further enhance Board effectiveness. In accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code, it is the Board’s policy that the evaluation process will be externally facilitated every three years.
