Board Diversity

Policies concerning the enhancement of board functions are set out in the Company's "Corporate Governance Best Practice Principles". Board composition shall take into account standards of multiple aspects including gender, age, nationality, culture, professional background (e.g., corporate governance, law, accounting/financial analysis, industry know-how, marketing, leadership, decision-making and business management), professional skills and industry experience. For the business developments of the Company, the board shall comprise experts of industry, finance and accounting and management. Each field of expertise, including business management, accounting and financial analysis and law, shall be covered by at least one board member.

The board has seven directors at present, including three independent directors, with different professional background or expertise. Board members' professional background and skills in corporate governance, marketing, industry know-how, leadership, decision-making, business management, accounting and financial analysis and legal affairs can effectively facilitate the Company with the implementation of business and future development strategies, which is in line with the diversity policy. The average age of current board members is 56-year-old. More than 29% of directors are over 61 years old while directors under 60 years old account for 71%. Except for directors with R.O.C. nationality, there is one director of Chinese (Hong Kong) nationality. CWE has always been concerned about gender equality in the board. We now have 2 females director among the seven directors, representing 29% of the board. Details are as follows:
