    Board of Directors

    Macquarie recognises that independent directors have an important role in assuring shareholders that the Board is able to act in the best interests of Macquarie and independently of management.

    Business conduct and ethics

    Macquarie’s Code of Conduct sets out the way staff are expected to do business. The Code of Conduct is also reflected in, and supported by, a broad range of Macquarie’s policies and procedures. 

    Continuous disclosure

    Macquarie believes that shareholders, regulators, ratings agencies and the investment community should be informed of all major business events and risks that influence Macquarie in a factual, timely and widely available manner. Macquarie’s continuous disclosure policy is incorporated in the Continuous Disclosure Policy.

    Constitution and charters

    Macquarie’s Constitution sets out requirements concerning the setting of board size, meetings, election of directors and the powers and duties of directors. The Board Charter details the Board’s role and responsibilities and its relationship with Management. Macquarie’s five standing Board Committees assist the Board in its oversight role. The Board Committee Charters detail the composition and responsibilities of each Committee and how they exercise their authority.
