The Board has overall responsibility for:

• Overseeing the effective management and control of the Group on behalf of Brambles' shareholders; and
• Supervising executive management's conduct of the Group's affairs within a control and authority framework that is designed to enable risk to be prudently and effectively assessed and monitored.

The Board executes its responsibilities with the assistance of three standing committees, being the Audit & Risk Committee, the Remuneration Committee, and the Nominations Committee. The Board has also delegated responsibility for the day-to-day management of the business and affairs of the Group to the Executive Leadership Team (ELT) subject to the levels of authority set by the Board and the matters reserved for the decision of the Board.

The skills and experience of each of Brambles' Directors are set out below. This breadth of business, financial and international experience gives the Board the range of skills, knowledge and experience essential to govern Brambles, including an understanding of the health, safety, environmental and community-related issues it faces.

Further details on the Board skills matrix and the responsibilities of the Board, its Committees and the ELT can be found in Brambles' 2023 Corporate Governance Statement, which is on Brambles' website at brambles.com/corporategovernance-overview.
