Meetings

Board meetings are scheduled before the start of the financial year, usually approved by the Board of Directors during their last meeting of each year. The schedule is posted under the Corporate Governance (CG) section of our company website. Committee meetings are scheduled by the respective committees. Consultation with, reports from, and discussion with Management on specific financial and operational matters take place as needed. In accordance with CG best practice and our Manual of Corporate Governance, the Board receives board documents and materials containing reports on Globe’s strategic, operational, and financial performance, and other regulatory and relevant matters, at least seven (7) business days in advance of Board meetings.

Attendance

The average rate of attendance of the Board of Directors was ninety-four and thirty-two percent (94.32%) in 2024, which is more than compliant with the SEC’s minimum attendance requirement of fifty percent (50%). The average attendance rate of the IDs was ninety-six and eighty-eight percent (96.88%) for the same year.

The Non-Executive Directors (NEDs) also meet separately during the year without any executives present. The NEDs held their meeting in November, which was led by Mr. Cirilo P. Noel, the lead ID. All NEDs were present at the meeting. Among the agenda items covered during the meeting were updates on succession and transition plans.

The Board is also assisted by the Chief Compliance Officer to ensure regulatory compliance and sustain engagement on CG-related matters, among other duties and responsibilities.
