Corporate Governance is the cornerstone of Zabeel Investments LLC’s business and operations framework. Compliance with the principles of good governance starts with the Board of Directors. The Board is a balanced and diverse group of leaders and is independent and well equipped to carry out its functions as a governance body on behalf of the shareholders. The governance framework for risk is at an Executive and Board Level. At Zabeel Investments LLC, we have chosen a framework that incorporates guidelines recommended by leading international and regional regulators as well as the prudent practices adopted by leading financial institutions. This helps ensure that synergies are identified and efficiencies are optimized when decisions impacting the organization are taken.
