Our leadership We believe that good corporate governance depends on clear roles, responsibilities and accountabilities, together with distinct skills and processes. Our corporate governance framework defines ADNOC’s decision-making structure, which guides our long-term strategy and daily operations. It sets out the corporate governance structure and mechanisms that support assurance processes and systems to maintain effective control. ADNOC’s corporate governance structure The ADNOC Board of Directors comprises eleven members including the Managing Director and Group Chief Executive Officer (MD & GCEO). It has overall responsibility for the direction and oversight of the company, including the implementation of strategic objectives, governance framework, corporate culture and senior management. The Board has the power to form any number of committees it deems necessary for effective oversight of the Group and to delegate all or some of its authority to any of the committees or the MD & GCEO as appropriate. The Board delegates day-to-day management and operations of ADNOC to its MD & GCEO, who chairs the Executive Leadership Team (ELT) Committee and Investment Committee. The MD & GCEO has also established the Tender Board and Business Leadership Committees. The ELT is responsible for endorsing or approving strategic, corporate, HSE, human capital and communications matters in line with its mandate. The MD & GCEO and the Board committees provide regular updates to the Board of Directors on operational performance, strategic initiatives and key decisions to ensure alignment with the company’s goals and objectives.
