Foreword

v Foreword T he foundation of an effective Board begins with the appointment of directors who, collectively, can govern the company with the goal of its long-term success. In this regard, the Nominating Committee (NC) plays a significant role in the nomination of directors for an effective Board and in ensuring that Board composition, structure, practices and processes are well established. This NC Guide is part of a series of Corporate Governance Guides for Boards and Board Committees in Singapore. It is produced by the Singapore Institute of Directors with the support of the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA), the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), and the Singapore Exchange Limited (SGX). The series comprises the following: • Resource Guide. • Board Guide. • Audit Committee Guide. • Board Risk Committee Guide. • Nominating Committee Guide. • Remuneration Committee Guide. • eGuide to the Code of Corporate Governance. Intended for Singapore-listed companies, these Guides set out best practices alongside the requirements of the Companies Act, the SGX-ST Listing Manual, and the Code of Corporate Governance. That said, the principles and practical guidance they provide can also apply to other organisations. This NC Guide has been developed with the support of EY, together with a review panel of leading practitioners and professionals in the corporate governance field. We take this opportunity to thank all the individuals and organisations listed in the Acknowledgements for their time and invaluable contributions. Singapore Institute of Directors
