  • Governance Reporting: Prepare high-quality governance reports and MI for the Board and Senior Management, highlighting emerging risks and policy effectiveness.

ABC Specialization (Anti-Bribery & Corruption)

  • ABC Framework Management: Lead the development and enforcement of the Global ABC Policy, specifically targeting high-risk areas such as Incentives and Marketing Joint Ventures.
  • Gifts, Entertainment & Hospitality (GEH): Own the global GEH register. Define thresholds, manage the approval workflow, and perform periodic audits to ensure compliance.
