CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STANDARDS

At Angostura, we view strong corporate governance as the foundation of sustainable success. Our robust governance framework provides effective oversight and responsible leadership, enabling the Company to perform at its best while creating long-term value for our stakeholders.

As a company listed on the Trinidad and Tobago Stock Exchange (TTSE) and a member of the Caribbean Corporate Governance Institute (CCGI), we are committed to upholding the highest standards of integrity, transparency, accountability, and ethical conduct. Our governance practices are guided by the principles of the 2024 Trinidad and Tobago Corporate Governance Code as well as International Best Practices.

Governing Body Effectiveness

The Company is led by an effective and well-balanced Board of Directors, which holds collective responsibility for the long-term success and sustainable growth of the Group. All of our Directors are non-executive and embody diversity in gender, ethnicity, and age. Our Board members also bring a broad spectrum of professional expertise and experience, ensuring a strong mix of knowledge, skills, and perspectives. This diversity enhances the quality of decision-making, promotes robust governance, and balances continuity with innovation and fresh perspectives.

Oversight and Accountability

Our Board and its Sub-Committees provide independent oversight and strategic direction in accordance with the Company’s By-Laws and Charters, which are reviewed regularly to ensure alignment with evolving laws, regulations, and best practices. The Company continuously strengthens its internal control framework, policies, and procedures to maintain effectiveness and uphold its commitment to sustainability, integrity, and ethical business conduct. The Board ensures a fair, balanced, and transparent assessment of the Company’s financial performance through effective oversight by the Audit Committee and regular reporting to shareholders via quarterly and annual publications.

Stakeholders and Disclosure

The Company strives to foster constructive relationships with all shareholders by encouraging active engagement. Our Annual Meeting and Special Meetings (when required) provide opportunities for shareholders to participate meaningfully and engage in discussions with the Board and Management. In addition, the Company periodically hosts Investor/Earnings Call Meetings to present key performance highlights and address questions from participants, promoting transparency and long-term investment confidence. To further enhance stakeholder engagement, the Company provides timely and relevant information through the Investor Relations section of its website, which also facilitates the submission of questions and queries.

Corporate Sustainability, Ethics and Enduring Value Creation

Our success is measured by the long-term value we create for shareholders, employees, customers, and the wider community. Guided by our core values — Passion, Respect, Innovation, Mutual Trust, and Excellence (PRIME) — we pursue growth that balances profitability with positive social and environmental impact, aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs). Our Board and Management uphold the highest standards of ethical responsibility, acting honestly and in the best interests of the Group. As a member of the Supplier Ethical Data Exchange (Sedex), we seek to ensure our supply chain partners maintain ethical practices, respect human rights, comply with labour standards, and operate responsibly to protect the environment.
