Governance Framework

Ethical and effective leadership

Bidcorp's governance framework is founded on the principles of the King Code on Corporate Governance. The group complies with the JSE Listings Requirements and the Companies Act, No 71 of 2008, (as amended). The board sets the tone at the top, providing purpose-driven leadership while upholding the highest standards of integrity, accountability and transparency across all 31 countries in which the group operates.

The board is supported by five committees that oversee specific areas of governance, each chaired by an independent non-executive director. The committees met on 21 occasions during F2025, providing structured, expert oversight across audit and risk, remuneration, acquisitions, nominations, and environmental, social and ethics matters.

The governance report, published separately from the annual integrated report, outlines a four-pillar framework covering governance, risk management, compliance and assurance. The report also details Bidcorp’s board and committee composition, governance framework, ethics and conduct, and remuneration.
