Corporate Governance

Home / Who we are / Corporate Governance

MMG is committed to maintaining a high standard of corporate governance practices demonstrated through an experienced Board, sound risk management and internal controls, and transparency and accountability to all shareholders. MMG applies the principles of good corporate governance as set out in the Corporate Governance Code of the Hong Kong Listing Rules and those of the International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM).

To further enhance its corporate governance practices, the Board has approved a restructuring and re-constitution of its Board committees that came into effect from 4 December 2019. There are two standing Board committees after the restructure of the Board Committees, namely the Audit and Risk Management Committee and the Governance, Remuneration and Nomination Committee, for overseeing particular aspects of the Company’s affairs.

Through our committees we are able to ensure a high standard of business practice. Our Board-level Audit and Risk Management Committee and the Governance, Remuneration and Nomination Committee operate under clear terms of reference.

We also have a number of executive management committees that provide a forum for a more detailed analysis of key issues in managing the company. These include:

Safety, Health, Environment and Community (SHEC) Committee;
Disclosure Committee;
Investment Review Committee;
Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves Committee and
Code of Conduct Committee.
