Organization and operation of the board of director

Chien Kuo Construction’s 22nd board of directors was elected at a shareholder meeting on July 22, 2021. The board consists of thirteen members with extensive experience in business administration. We heavily rely on their knowledge, personal perspectives and business acumen. Three of the thirteen members are independent directors, who are outstanding representative in their professions, and responsible for the first level of the audit work. The board of directors is rigorous, professional and responsible in the execution of its responsibilities.

It is our philosophy of corporate governance that the primary responsibility of the board of directors is supervision. The board of directors ensures the company complies with laws and regulations, ensures transparency of financial information, discloses important information in a timely manner and exercises effective internal control.

The board of directors also advises the Chien Kuo Construction management team, which submits regular reports. It evaluates the likely success of strategies proposed by management, reviews progress made and asks for adjustments to be made when deemed necessary. The management team and the board maintain close contacts and work together to maximize shareholder profits.
