Report of The Board in relation to remuneration policy and practice
5. External appointments
The Group recognises that Executive Directors may be invited to become non-executive directors of other companies and that such appointments can broaden their knowledge and experience, to the benefit of the Group. Provided that it does not impact materially on their Group duties, Executive Directors are generally encouraged to accept one such appointment. They may retain any resulting fee. In certain circumstances, two such appointments may be permitted. The fees payable in respect of any second appointment are donated to charity.
