Chairman and CEO Principle 3 The role of the Chairman is separate from that of the CEO and they are not immediate family members. The Chairman is a non-executive director and is not part of the management team. Such division of responsibilities reinforces the independence and increases accountability of the Board. The Chairman is responsible for providing leadership to the Board overseeing its functioning and ensuring that it acts in the best interests of the Group. He is also responsible for ensuring that Board meetings are planned and conducted effectively, including setting the agenda for each Board meeting, taking into account, where appropriate, matters proposed by the Directors, the Company Secretary and the Deputy Company Secretary. With the support of the Executive Director, the Company Secretary, the Deputy Company Secretary and Management, the Chairman seeks to ensure that all Directors are properly briefed on issues to be deliberated at Board meetings and are provided with adequate and accurate information in a timely manner. The Chairman promotes a culture of openness and actively encourages Directors to voice their opinion and be fully engaged in the Board’s affairs so as to contribute to the Board’s effective functioning. The Board, under the leadership of the Chairman, has adopted good corporate governance practices and procedures and taken appropriate steps to promote effective communication and ongoing engagement with unitholders and other stakeholders, as outlined later in this report. Dr. Fong, the Lead Independent Director is appointed to provide leadership in situations where the Chairman has a confl ict of interests. He is accessible to the unitholders of HPH Trust in cases where they have concerns for which contact through normal channels of the Chairman, the CEO or the CFO has failed to resolve the issue or is inappropriate. His contact details are available on HPH Trust’s corporate website (https://www.hphtrust.com/corporate_governance.html). The CEO is responsible for managing the businesses of the Group, attending to the formulation and successful implementation of Group policies and assuming full accountability to the Board for all Group operations. Acting as the principal manager of the Group’s businesses, the CEO attends to developing strategic operating plans that refl ect the long-term objectives and priorities established by the Board and is directly responsible for overseeing and delivering operational performance of the Group. Working with the CFO, and the executive management team of each core business division, the CEO presents annual budgets to the Board for its consideration and approval, and ensures that the Board is fully apprised of the funding requirements of the Group. With the assistance of the CFO, the CEO ensures that the funding requirements of the businesses are met and monitors the operating and fi nancial performance of the businesses against plans and budgets. The CEO maintains an ongoing dialogue with the Chairman and all Directors to keep them fully informed of all major business development and issues relating to HPH Trust. In addition, he is also responsible for building and maintaining an effective executive team to support him in his role.
