Board Performance

The Board values inputs and suggestions that feedback mechanisms provide to assist them as they reflect on their performance as individual directors and as a governing body. As such, the Board of Directors participates in an annual self-assessment exercise to assess their individual and collective performance. This exercise also provides a means to assess a director’s attendance at Board and committee meetings, participation in boardroom discussions, and manner of voting on material issues.

Our Board of Directors, together with the management, fully understand that the corporate governance proactive culture begins with leaders of the company.

The self-assessment exercise, through a self-assessment questionnaire, is given to each director to ensure the effectiveness of their governance, to reflect on the performance of top management including the President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), to highlight specific strengths, and to identify areas of improvement. It also provides a venue for the Board members to identify priorities for the Board and the company for the succeeding year. The assessment is comprised of the appraisal of the Board, individual directors, different Board Committees, Management, and Chairman of the Board.

The questionnaire covers a thorough evaluation criteria focused on the structure, efficiency, and effectiveness of the Board, participation and engagement of each member, contribution of each member to their respective Committees, as well as the performance of Management and the Chairman of the Board. The criteria also reflect the specific duties, responsibilities, and accountabilities of each Board member assessed in line with Globe’s By-Laws, Manual of Corporate Governance (MCG), Charters, and governing policies. For transparency and an additional layer of feedback mechanism for Globe shareholders, the questionnaire is also posted on our company website.


The self-assessment exercise is facilitated by the Chief Compliance Officer. In accordance with our MCG and Charter of the Board, every three years, the assessment shall also be supported by an external facilitator selected for this purpose. Aon Hewitt Pte Ltd. is the external facilitator engaged by Globe to support the self-assessment exercise for the Board of Directors covering their performance and service for the year 2022. An annual executive session also takes place dedicated to evaluating and discussing matters concerning the Board, including evaluating Globe’s performance and an independent review of its Management team.


There is likewise an annual strategy workshop held at the beginning of the year to discuss Globe’s strategic direction for the entire year.
