At Summit Africa, we understand that corporate governance involves striking a balance between economic and social objectives, as well as individual and collective interests. To ensure transparency, we have implemented a strong governance framework. We are committed to adhering to the principles, policies, and governance framework outlined by King IV and ILPA, which include the following core principles: Ethical culture, integrity, transparency, accountability, competence, and independence.
To ensure sound governance practices, Summit Africa maintains a board and investment committees in which independent non-executives constitute the majority. Additionally, we have engaged the services of Independent Compliance Services as our independent compliance officer. Their role involves conducting monthly reviews and providing direct reports to the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) to ensure compliance with regulatory standards. This further enhances our commitment to maintaining a robust and transparent compliance framework.
Summit Africa's policies and frameworks are designed and adopted to deliver on our commitment to good governance and sustainability principles and practices.
