Brit Limited Board

The Board is primarily responsible for the review and oversight of group strategy. In doing so, it ensures that material risks to achieving that strategy are appropriately managed, and that the group is appropriately capitalised to achieve its objectives. The Board delegates various powers to a number of committees, which are recorded within written terms of reference. A summary of that delegation is outlined below.

Members of the Brit Group Holding Limited Board and Brit Executive Committee can be seen here

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee is responsible for monitoring the integrity of the group’s financial statements, the effectiveness of the group Internal Control and Internal Audit frameworks, and the relationship with the group’s External Auditor.

Nomination Committee

The Nomination Committee leads the appointment of directors to the Company and material subsidiaries (including Brit Syndicates Limited), and keeps under review succession arrangements for those directors, having regard to the skills, knowledge and experience required to achieve the Brit Group strategy.  Remuneration Committee

The Remuneration Committee is responsible for setting the group’s remuneration policy and executive director remuneration. Remuneration is designed to be fair and to promote the achievement of Brit Group strategy. No director is involved in setting their own remuneration. Executive Management

Besides the functions reserved to the Board or otherwise delegated to committees of the Board, all management functions are delegated to the Group Chief Executive Officer. In turn, the Group Chief Executive Officer delegates authority to the executive team, and operates the Executive Committee to manage that arrangement.

Diversity Policy

Brit recognises the importance of diversity at Board level and that diversity is essential to its long-term success.  We believe that I&D is the responsibility of everyone at Brit to help us reach our vision.

As a Board, we want to lead the way by emphasising our personal commitment to modelling diversity.  By holding the Executive and the Leadership teams to account and providing visible commitment and leadership to I&D, ensuring fair and equitable treatment is achieved.  Our purpose is for everyone to feel respected and valued regardless of gender, age, race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation or identity, disability, education, or any other characteristic.

Our I&D framework is underpinned by an action plan.  We are committed to see this embedded throughout Brit.  The plan will be carefully monitored against progress and, where required, facilitate challenge to ensure success.

This diversity statement complements our overall vision.

We are committed to regularly reviewing the progress we are making including our approach to Board and executive diversity to ensure its continued relevance, effectiveness and alignment with our I&D commitments.

The Board’s annual evaluation will consider its diversity as part of its performance and effectiveness review.
