Governance

The Ethical Property Company is governed by a Board of Directors, who are supported by a Senior Management Team.

Our Board consists of five Non-executive Directors and one Managing Director. They meet at least five times each year – meetings are also attended by our Senior Management Team.

Additionally, there are three sub-committees:

Audit Committee

Please note: The Board reviews its performance each year, and reflects on whether it contains the appropriate mix of skills required to enable the company to meet its objectives.
