Mauritius Institute of Directors - IntegratedReport Mauritius Institute of Directors - IntegratedReport10 11

On behalf of the Mauritius Institute of Directors (MIoD) I am pleased to make the following Statement to our members for the year ended 30 June 2013 OverviewGlobal economic prospects are slowly improving even though results are very mixed around the world

with the road to recovery in the advanced economies remaining bumpy according to the IMF while emerging market economies are doing well In 2013 after a weak first half real GDP growth in the advanced economies is projected to rise above 2 for the rest of the year and to average 225 in 2014 spurred by US growth of about 3 Most economies in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa and many economies in Latin America are now seeing higher growth Global growth is thus projected to continue to rise gradually

But there is no room for complacency given the strong interconnections between countries an uneven recovery is still a dangerous one While considerable progress has been made to improve financial regulation at both national and global levels the IMF recognises that there is still more to do to complete the regulatory reform agenda ldquoparticularly with regard to the too-big-to-fail problem nonbank financial institutions and shadow bankingrdquo

Our Mauritian economy has survived the turbulent past few years and is working hard at diversifying its exports and services away from the traditional European markets and increasingly towards Africa and Asia We have improved our ranking by 5 places to 19th position in the 2013 World Bank Ease of Doing Business and we continue to occupy the top place in Africa We have also held on to our No1 position in the Mo Ibrahim Index of African Governance However we have dropped 8 places in the Transparency International Corruption Perception Index in the last 2 years to 43rd place and the increasing number of scandals that have shaken our country in the last 12 months will not do much to remedy this perception unless we seriously start to address the issue of corruption More than ever we need good governance practices combined with effective leadership skills and underpinned by a strong ethical culture

At the MIoD we have been pleased to see this year the continued increased demand for membership and for our public workshops And the registered demand for in-house workshops testifies to the increasing interest Mauritian boards are paying to good corporate governance A growing number of companies are also leading the way by undertaking sustainability reporting corporate governance assessments ethics management board evaluations and family

governance initiatives More and more companies are using our Directorsrsquo Register to look for Independent Directors These are all very positive signs and bode well for the future

The publication of the Bank of Mauritius Corporate Governance Guideline as well as the FSCrsquos Circular Letter reminding directors of their duties and giving guidance on what would be considered as a reasonable number of directorships are all welcome initiatives to the Corporate Governance regulatory and compliance framework in Mauritius But they are also indications that our National Code of Corporate Governance (the Code) is fast being overtaken The MIoD therefore continues to support the view of the National Committee on Corporate Governance (NCCG) that a revision of the Code of Corporate Governance is well overdue The Code was written in 2003 and in the last 10 years the world has been rocked by a huge financial crisis Global standards and best practices in good governance have moved on and if we wish to maintain our position as regional leaders in Corporate Governance we need to update the Code Furthermore the recent amendments to the Financial Reporting Act while strengthening the enforcement of compliance to the Code nonetheless reveal inconsistencies as well as difficulties in applying the Code effectively We therefore appeal to the Minister of Finance to undertake this exercise as soon as possible

StrategyDuring the year the board undertook a review of our Vision Mission and Strategy The key challenges facing the Institute namely its long term sustainability establishing its legitimacy increasing its membership by attracting more young professionals public sector executives as well as seasoned Directors and maintaining funding from our existing Founders and Patrons were addressed in two half day off sites in November 2012 The outcome was our new Vision Mission and Strategy reflected in our latest 3 year Business Plan for 2013-2016 Our strategy will ensure that webull respondtoourmembersrsquoneedsandprovideclearbenefits for each categorybull remainrelevantthroughregularstakeholderengagementbull ensureweareaccessibleandaffordablebull nurturethenextgenerationofdirectorsbull widenthescopeofourservicesbeyondcorporate governancebull differentiatetheMIoDfromotherprofessional organisations through our area of focus and specialisation ndash corporate governance best business practices leadership and professional developmentbull maintainthequalityandsustainedfocusofourtraining and educationbull arearolemodelandthereferencepointforcorporate governance and best business practicesbull becomeacredibleandrecognisedvoiceforDirectorsandbull supportMauritiusasaregionalleader

CHAIRMANrsquoS STATEMENT

Initiatives and HighlightsOne of the key highlights of the year was undoubtedly celebrating our 5th Anniversary with our members and sponsors at Angsana Balaclava on 17th May 2013 with our guest of honour the President of the Republic of Mauritius This was also the opportunity for the MIoD to recognise the role of the National Committee on Corporate Governance in initiating the creation of an Institute of Directors in Mauritius Over the years the NCCG has continued to support the MIoD by collaborating on workshops conferences and future research

The MIoDlsquos key role at the forefront of good corporate governance is to develop better informed and more effective directors In the past year the MIoD has continued to provide practical guidance and a better understanding of the various aspects of corporate governance by helping directors improve their knowledge and skills We have invited several high profile overseas guest speakers and facilitators including Prof Mervyn King Dr Teodorina Lessidrenska Linda de Beer Chris Pierce Phil Armstrong Mike Saunders Bert van Walbeek Maggie Gorse Guillermo Miranda Prof Deon Rossouw Alison Dillon Kibirige and Dr Graeme Codrington

Throughout the year we have also benefited from the expertise of our team of local trainers and facilitators as well as many local experts whom I would like to thank whole heartedly for their support

We have renewed our successful collaboration with the Ethics Institute of South Africa (EthicsSA) and take this opportunity to thank them and the IFC Global Corporate Governance Forum for the use of their training materials as well as for their invaluable support

We have increased our range of corporate services this year to includebull InHouseTrainingbull BoardAppraisalsbull CorporateGovernanceAssessmentsbull EthicsRiskAssessmentsbull CodeofConductDevelopmentbull EthicsOfficerTrainingandCertificationandbull EthicsManagementConsultingandTraining

The last year has seen some significant new initiatives at the MIoD The Directors Forum is gradually establishing its role as an Advisory Council to the MIoD focusing on Directorsrsquo issues and through the Forumrsquos expertise and representation providing guidance on key issues of governance and directorship in Mauritius In September 2012 the Forum launched its first publication Best Practice Guidelines for the Appointment of Directors The Directors Forum is currently working on its next publication an Ethics Guide for Boards which should be launched in September 2013 The Forum also has a sub-committee dedicated to the public sector We take this opportunity to thank all those who serve pro-bono on

the Directors Forum for their commitment to the cause of good corporate governance and better boards

The MIoD also undertook to measure its Ecological Footprint and as result will look at how we can reduce our footprint in the coming years In addition the Board as part of our strategy to be a model of corporate governance has decided that this yearrsquos Annual Report should be an Integrated Report with two new sections ndash a Sustainability Report and a Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Content Index We hope this will encourage other companies in Mauritius to follow this initiative In the medium to long term the objective is to positively influence all our stakeholders The Sustainability Report proposes concrete actions that will be carried out in the 2013-4 financial year demonstrating MIoDrsquos commitment to internalise sustainability practices in its operations and those of its valued stakeholders In order to support Mauritius as a regional leader the MIoD in collaboration with the Institute of Directors Southern Africa (IoDSA) has been spearheading the setting up of an African Corporate Governance Network (ACGN) With the current focus on growth and development in Africa good corporate governance and capacity building in this area is highly important 12 Institutes from across Africa have come together and the ACGN will be formally launched on 16 October 2013 in Mauritius

The year ahead brings some other exciting events and initiatives including our 2nd International Conference on 17 and 18 October 2013 this time in collaboration with IODSA on the theme ldquoAfricaRising Corporate Governance for Sustainability The Road Map for Value Creation rdquo We have invited a distinguished list of international speakers and we see this Conference as an opportunity to promote Mauritius as the gateway to Africa and as a regional leader in the global governance landscape

In the coming year we will also be launching the Audit Committee Forum recognising the key role that audit committees play in ensuring good Corporate Governance and as a way of providing audit committee members and other directors with a resource to help them to keep up-to-date on current and emerging issues

Continued GrowthThe MIoD remains a private independent not-for-profit membership organisation regulated by the Companies Act We depend on membership and our membership growth continues on target testifying to the interest in our activities The Institute is made up of individual members whom we are here to serve We thank you for your continued support

We have however been less successful this last year in attracting young professionals whom we see as the future directors of tomorrow and this will be a focus for us to work on in the coming year reviewing our image and benefits for this category of member

DIRECTORSrsquo REPORT

5 Founders and Patrons

The generous contributions and support of our Founders and Patrons were publicly acknowledged by the MIoD during the 5th anniversary celebrations where commemorative certificates were presented to them

With that milestone came also the end of the 5 year agreement that was made with the original Founders and Patrons They have all been approached to seek their continuing support for the MIoDrsquos work and we are pleased to report that 90 have so far agreed to renew their support for another period of five years

The trust placed in the MIoD by our Founders and Patrons helps us to continue in our mission to champion best business practices and effective corporate governance supporting Mauritius as a regional leader and to be the voice of Directors through training and certification programmes workshops and networking events advocacy research and thought leadership reaching out to both private and public sector enterprises

Founders and patrons contributed 35 of our revenue

6 Membership

Membership has increased by 27 and is in line with our target We are forecasting continued growth with 200 new members per annum for the next 3 years We have not been as successful in attracting Associates compared to other categories of members and we are in the process of reviewing the benefits package for Associates as well as our communications strategy for this market segment

63 of our members are directors but we continue to focus on the recruitment and nurturing of aspiring directors and young professionals who will be the directors of tomorrow

Membership retention is 91 over the 5 year life of the MIoD 40 of the loss of membership is due to members moving overseas ill health or no longer being professionally active and 30 for non-payment of membership fees

New partners are added from time to time so please consult our website wwwmiodmu for updatesMembership fees and affinity revenues currently account for 15 of the total MIoD revenue

7 Directorsrsquo Register

The Directorsrsquo Register (the Register) was set up in 2011 to enable companies to find suitable independent directors for their boards It is made up of Members and Fellows of the MIoD who are senior executives or directors from cross sections of industries and professions This is a free service for members and allows them to promote themselves as a potential independent director to sit on the boards of other organisations There is a small fee for companies who wish to undertake a search but a free search is offered to our Founders or Patrons and to registered NGOs as part of our Corporate Social Responsibility

We currently have 136 members on the Register and are happy to report that the 21 director search requests were received during 2012-3 Since January 2013 the demand has increased substantially and we believe there will be a higher number of search requests in the future as boards diversify and continue to implement good governance best practices

As from 1 September 2013 all new Members and Fellows of the MIoD will automatically be added to the Register upon receiving their membership confirmation

8 Training and Education

Our recent membersrsquo survey shows that membersrsquo satisfaction is overall very high at 97 In our aim to be customer driven and responsive membersrsquo feedback is greatly valued and very useful for reviewing the services we offer

Our members have received a new Membership Card this year entitling them to discounts on products and services with a growing number of affinity partners which include

14 People Processes Technology

We have this year taken on two new team members bringing the team to 6 including the CEO Rizwana Eathally joined us as Membership amp Marketing Officer in October 2012 and Tioumitra (Ambrish) Maharahaje joined us as Executive Secretary in March 2013 taking over as the MIoD Company Secretary as well as Executive Secretary of the Directors Forum and the Audit Committee Forum managing the Directorsrsquo Register and leading future research projects

Last year we upgraded our accounts system with Pastel and this has proved an invaluable investment This year we have undertaken to build a new interactive website and integrated CRM Both are nearly finalised and should be fully operational in September 2013

All our processes at the MIoD are continually evolving and being reviewed as we grow We have reviewed this year our Accounting Membership and Training Procedures as well as the management of our Members and Directorsrsquo Registers

15 Finances

Although our membership has increased substantially and continues to grow and our training programme and corporate services have expanded the MIOD continues to rely on the contributions of its Founders and Patrons These contributions enable membership of the MIoD attendance at its events and use of its services to be accessible to the maximum number of people by keeping our fees at an affordable level

Accumulated funds have been placed on fixed deposits with the Mauritius Post and Cooperative Bank this being renegotiated at regular intervals

The MIoD has again this year made a small surplus of Rs 353508 for the year which is above targeted results

16 The Coming YearThe MIoD has a new three year business plan and will continue to focus on membership growth particularly for Associate members but also membership from the public sector and from more seasoned directors During the coming year we will

be undertaking a branding exercise to evaluate our image and encouraging greater stakeholder engagement to ensure excellent customer service and responsiveness through an Annual Members Forum and Survey and by establishing MOUs with key regulators

Ensuring high quality training and education remains a key objective by continuing to provide an innovative and interesting training programme with our team of 11 local trainers and consultants as well as high level overseas facilitators In 20134 this will include a Thought Leadership Programme and we hope to work more closely with the public sector We will also introduce information and consulting services and set up a Research unit to undertake research into directorsrsquo remuneration business ethics and board practices in Mauritius

The Audit Committee Forum will also start to operate and build capacity and the Directors Forum will continue to establish itself as the voice of Directors

As part of our Corporate Social Responsibility we will continue to offer pro-bono Directors Searches and Corporate Governance and Skills training for registered NGOs

We will follow up on the improvement of our Ecological Footprint by focusing on the reduction of our use of paper plastic and improving the quality of the food served at our workshops

Our new website will be launched shortly along with our new Customer Relationship Management system and our presence on LinkedIn Twitter and Facebook will be reinforced

The highlight of the coming year will undoubtedly be the launch of the African Corporate Governance Network on 16 October and our International Conference being organised in collaboration with the IoDSA on 17 and 18 October on the theme ldquoAfrica Rising Governance for Sustainability the Road Map for Value Creationrdquo with a big line up of distinguished speakers led by Baroness Lynda Chalker

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT

1Compliance StatementIn accordance with its mission statement the Mauritius Institute of Directors (lsquoMIoDrsquo or the lsquoCompanyrsquo) is committed to applying the principles of good corporate governance in its operations Rather than adopting a lsquotick the boxrsquo approach to complying with the Code the MIoD has embedded the principles of the Code in its day to day operations

During the year the MIoD has complied with all material aspects of the principles of the Code Given that it has only six employees the Board considers that it functions effectively with only one Executive Director namely the CEO

2Corporate Details and Holding StructureIncorporated in Mauritius as a public company limited by guarantee on 11 February 2008 the MIoD is a non-profit organization engaged in the promotion of good corporate governance in Mauritius and training and development

The rights powers duties and obligations of the Company the Board each director and the members of the Company are governed by the Constitution of the Company and the Companies Act 2001

The constitution of the MIoD provides that inter alia21 every member irrespective of his class of membership including a person who has been a member at any time within 12 months from the effective date of the winding up of the Institute shall in the event of the Company having a deficit in disposable assets over its liabilities contribute a maximum of one hundred (100) Mauritian Rupees to the assets of the Company in the event of it being wound up22 the monies collected shall be applied for the payment of the debts and liabilities of the Company and the payment of the costs charges and expenses associated with the winding up the Company and23 the Directors are prohibited from making any form of distribution including distributing dividends returns of capital income or profits of the Company to the Members However the Company shall use any surplus funds in any year to pursue the goals set out in Article 5 of this Constitution

The full version of the constitution is available on the MIoD website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepage

3 The BoardFrom 1 June 2012 to 7 February 2013 the Board of the MIoD was comprised of 12 directors (6 male and 6 female) of whom 11 were independent directors and one was classified as an Executive Director namely the Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

A vacancy arose on the Board on 7 February 2013 when Mrs Aruna Collendavelloo stepped down as director of the Company As there was no urgent need to appoint a replacement and on the recommendation of the Nominations and Membership Committee it was resolved that such vacancy would be filled at the Annual Meeting of Members (AMM) scheduled on 25 September 2013

The profiles of the directors are set out on pages 7 to 9 of the report

Mr Deva Armoogum was appointed as Chairman of the Board by his fellow directors following the AMM held on 26 September 2012

For the year under review the Board considered its composition as adequately balanced and that the directors had the appropriate range of skills expertise and experience required to carry out their duties properly in order to serve the interests of all the stakeholders and provide effective corporate governance

The Constitution of the Company provides that with the exception of the Chief Executive Officer every other director shall be eligible for reappointment for a maximum of five consecutive years

In line with the Code all directors who meet the eligibility criteria stand for re-election at the AMM on the recommendation of the Nominations and Membership Committee

Messrs Deva Armoogum Georges Leung Shing and Mrs Danielle Lagesse having reached their term of office will not stand for re-election at the next AMM Mr Vaughan Heberden has also indicated that he will be stepping down at the next AMM The Nominations and Membership Committee has thus reviewed the skills competencies and experience required to enable the Board to function efficiently as well as the profile of the directors eligible for re-election Their contribution to board and committee meetings were also considered

Pursuant to such review the Nominations and Membership Committee has recommended that the following directors be considered for re-election at the Annual Meeting

1 James Benoit2 Ravin Lama3 Heba Jangeerkhan4 Patricia Day-Hookoomsing5 Catherine Dvorak6 Richard Wooding

As regards the five remaining vacancies on the Board the Committee has recommended that candidates with a background in the legal and accounting fields as well as in corporate governance matters be considered for election as director of the Company

A notice inviting members to apply for consideration as director of the Company was issued on 21 May 2013

On appointment to the Board new directors receive a comprehensive induction pack from the Company Secretary and the CEO and have informal meetings with the Chairman fellow Board members Nominations and Membership Committee the CEO and the employees of the MIoD The functions and responsibilities of the Chairman and CEO are separate

The Chairman and the CEO in collaboration with the Company Secretary agreed on the Board meeting calendar for the year and the Board meeting agendas in advance to ensure adequate coverage of key issues throughout the year Board packs are usually sent to the directors five days in advance

All directors have access to the Company Secretary and CEO to discuss issues or to obtain information on specific areas or items to be considered at Board meetings or any other area they consider appropriate Directors attend Board meetings unless exceptional circumstances prevent them from so doing

1 Report Content and Reporting ParametersThis report marks two significant milestones for the MIoD It is the MIoDrsquos first Integrated Report and it also marks the first time that the GRI framework has been adopted for sustainability reporting by the MIoD These milestones are timely and are squarely aligned with MIoDrsquos position in the market to promote corporate sustainability and to lead by exampleThe integrated report has adopted the G31 guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative and it reflects MIoDrsquos commitment to provide a transparent and fair review of its strategy performance and activities in 2012-3 to its stakeholders The triple bottom line reporting has endeavoured to provide an open and honest summary of the social economic and environmental impacts stemming from our activities and commitments practices objectives and performance results regarding the management of our impacts The report contains a combination of quantitative and qualitative impactsMIoD has also adopted a learning-by-doing approach to internalise integrated sustainability reporting as a strategic management tool To reflect this approach we have realised this report in the GRI Level C application with the view that MIoD will graduate progressively to higher level reporting over time It is understood that the learning-by-doing approach implies that the processes tools and methodologies applied to identify prioritise and validate report content and reporting parameters will evolve over time Nevertheless the processes tools and methodologies are systemic and have been applied systematically to allow year-on-year comparisons of MIoDrsquos performance This is even more so because MIoD is a relatively young organisation that holds a unique position vis-agrave-vis its stakeholdersWe have used GRI Reporting Standard principles in determining the scope of the report content structure and quality and data calculation and disclosure techniques The content of this report discloses MIoDrsquos performance for the period starting July 1 2012 and ending June 30 2013

2 Report Scope amp BoundaryThe activities of MIoD cover the geographical area of the Republic of Mauritius and most of these activities take place in the island of Mauritius The report boundary is therefore the activities of MIoD in Mauritius In addition to GRIrsquos Sustainability Reporting Guidelines (GRI 31) the report also follows the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for financial reporting and the Code of Corporate Governance of Mauritius 2004 Boundaries for non-financial data collection are consistent with our financial reporting thus aligning financial environmental and social reporting Since stakeholder inclusiveness is a cross-cutting issue in determining the content and scope of reporting we have attempted to take into consideration the expectations of our stakeholders as well as to quantify or qualify the impacts of our activities on their well-being including present and future considerations and to take remedial actions Our stakeholder engagement processes are discussed below

3 Determining Report ContentGuided by the G31 reporting guidelines and principles and technical protocol the following criteria have been observed in preparing this reportStakeholder inclusivenessStakeholder identification and engagement have been carried out using a combination of three methods namely (1) market knowledge by virtue of being the main organization mandated to foster the development of corporate governance at the level of Boards and upper management in Mauritius (2) value-chain analysis to establish the entire supply chain of MIoDrsquos services including the enabling environment and business providers and (3) on-going surveys with existing and potential members

The stakeholders of the MIoD are set out below

MIoD appreciates the benefits derived from stakeholder engagement and endeavours to maintain close proximity with key stakeholders We carry out membership surveys ethics risk assessments and on-going evaluations of our training programmes to identify and address issues that are relevant to our stakeholders and also to engage our stakeholders in assessing MIoDrsquos performance risks and opportunities For instance the following examples are pertinent

Sustainability ContextAs a leading organization promoting corporate sustainability we consider sustainability as an integral aspect of our decision-making process and of the way we do business on the economic social and environmental fronts This is important on two counts namely (1) the increasing awareness in the Mauritian public and private sector for mainstreaming the three pillars of sustainable development and (2) the recognition that corporate sustainability can be a significant comparative advantage and differentiation strategy It is worth mentioning here that MIoDrsquos Integrated Report is squarely aligned with the newly adopted Maurice Ile Durable (MID) Policy Strategy and Action Plan of Mauritius especially concerning lsquoenhancing the corporate environment social responsibility and accountabilityrsquo (wwwmidmu ndash accessed 12 July 2013) The sectorial MID Strategy for employmenteconomy specifically refers to the use of GRI as a benchmark for developing a Sustainability Index for publicly listed companies

CompletenessWe have ensured that all the material topics and indicators covered in this report reflect completely the significant economic environmental and social impacts of our activities and enable our stakeholders to assess our performance in 2012-3 effectively

BalanceWe have attempted to present an unbiased picture of our performance by avoiding selections omissions or presentation formats that are reasonably likely to unduly or inappropriately influence the readerrsquos decision or judgment The report provides both favourable and unfavourable results as well as results that can influence the decisions of stakeholders in proportion to their materiality This is a commitment to MIoDrsquos transparency

ComparabilitySince this is the first integrated sustainability report results present the baseline data and information against which comparative performance analysis will be carried out in the future

AccuracyThe different data in this report have been presented both on a qualitative and quantitative basis In any case we have ensured openness in measurements and qualitative analyses while bearing in mind that data would need to be verifiable While the non-financial components of the present report have not been subject to an independent third party audit the processes methodologies and tools for generating and analysing quantitative and qualitative data were adopted because they lend themselves to such audits Where applicable such as in the case of Ecological Footprint analysis discussed below error analysis is provided to deal with uncertainties in measurements

TimelinessThis report will be issued for the purpose of the Annual Meeting of Members on 25 September 2013 It will enable all our stakeholders to assess this report and provide us with relevant feedback for future reporting This open review process forms an integral part of the learning-by-doing approach

ClarityThis report has been presented in a manner that is understandable accessible and usable by our stakeholders As far as practicable graphics and data tables have been used to present information

ReliabilityInformation and processes used in the preparation of this report have been consistently gathered recorded compiled analysed and disclosed in a way that has been subject to constant examination by a competent internal team together with the help of an external consultancy firm with experience in integrated sustainability reporting using the GRI G31 Reporting Guidelines and Principles

MaterialityAccording to the GRI G31 Guidelines materiality has to be determined by considering the economic environmental and social impacts that cross a threshold in affecting the ability to

meet the needs of the present without compromising the needs of future generations Since the identification of thresholds is not trivial especially when considering long-term impacts or impacts where root causes and their effects are delocalised geographically and across different time horizons the methodology applied by MIoD to gauge materiality is evolving as it strives to better integrate sustainability across its entire spectrum of operations and services The underlying approach is to identify and prioritise those impacts that have a propensity to create preserve or erode economic environmental and social value for itself and its stakeholders In order to be methodological and systematic a combination of approaches has been used to determine materiality and the contents of this reportbull ThelegalrequirementsoftheRepublicofMauritiusInmanyinstances the operating legal framework prescribes minimum or allowable socio-economic and environmental impacts and these thresholds are usually identified because of their materialitybull Adoptionofathoroughriskmanagementprocessthatallowsus to assess and mitigate the impacts of our operations (and vice versa) beyond the financial imperative The risk management process also makes visible opportunities to better serve our stakeholdersbull Bykeepingacloseproximitywithourstakeholdersasexplained above under lsquoStakeholder Inclusivenessrsquobull IdentificationofinternalissuesthroughmeetingswithMIoDteam members as well as subscribing to continuous learning to better adhere to our policies values strategies targets and risk management processes andbull CarryingoutanEcologicalFootprintanalysisofouroperationsthat cover the impacts of the following (1) food (mainly provided by third parties during delivery of MIoD training) (2) consumables (3) utilities buildings and transport and (4) waste The first Ecological Footprint analysis was carried out for the calendar year 2012 (a copy of the report can be obtained from our website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepage) and its results and recommendations were approved by the MIoDrsquos Board of Directors on 5 December 2012 The time period for the Ecological Footprint analysis has been revised to match the reporting period July 2012-June 2013 and the Footprint updated The analysis has been used to quantify impacts identify impacts of most significance and provide a basis for taking remedial actions across the value chain as discussed in this report Ecological Footprint analysis has been adopted as one way to deal with the difficulties in establishing thresholds for sustainability impacts The Ecological Footprint analysis also captures the ecological impacts of services delivered (except for electricity and primary energy consumption) by third party venues during MIoD training

MIoDrsquos materiality framework is evolving We are confident that the results presented here are sufficiently robust to instil confidence in the quality of the report The integrated Sustainability Report should be read in conjunction with our online resources

Validation is currently essentially an internally orientated process with authorisation by the CEO and Executive Secretary and ultimate approval of the Integrated Report by the Board of Directors

Performance indicators have been chosen for reporting purposes based on three main factors1 Results of the Ecological Footprint Analysis2 Our ability or maturity to respond and3 The opportunity for MIoD to grow and gain advantage from the impacts

The calculation of Performance Indicators has followed the GRI Indicator Protocols GHG emissions arising from the use of electricity has been calculated from the Grid Emission Factor of Mauritius using the methodological tool 07 ndash ie ldquoTool to calculate the emission factor for an electricity system (Version 0300) - proposed by the Clean Development Mechanism for calculating the operating margin (httpcdmunfcccintmethodologiesPAmethodologiestoolsam-tool-07-v300pdf )rdquo GHG emissions arising from business-related air travel have been calculated using the official ICAO online calculator (httpwww2icaointencarbonoffsetPagesdefaultaspx)

4 Market Position41 Range of Ratios of Standard Entry Level Wage by Gender The MIoD does not differentiate salaries on the basis of gender nor do we have a standard entry wage level for employees Entry salaries are based on industry and market benchmarks the entrantrsquos educational level and relevant experience The Board Nominations Committee is responsible for reviewing and recommending to the Board any changes to employeesrsquo remuneration Employees are rewarded for their contribution to the Companyrsquos performance based on their performance against annual KPIs and the companyrsquos financial position

The MIoD employs 5 staff excluding the CEO ndash 3 female and 2 male The lowest male basic salary is Rs 28618 and the lowest female basic monthly salary is Rs 14478 There is no official minimum wage in Mauritius in our sector However as per the Ministry of Labour and the National Remuneration Order for Travel Agents and Tour Operators Workers a similar service sector the minimum wages prescribed for comparable jobs are as follows

bull SeniorAccountsClerkRs10306bull AdministrativeClerkRs8717

Mauritius Institute of Directors - IntegratedReport Mauritius Institute of Directors - IntegratedReport32 33

Based on this methodology the ratio of entry level wage by gender compared to local minimum wage for comparable jobs is 126 for male staff and 117 for female staff The apparent difference between the two ratios does not imply gender bias at MIoD since for any specific position a male or female employee would receive the same remuneration all else being equal

The MIoD is focused on continually developing a workforce that is dedicated motivated and well trained in order to assure the Institutersquos future development and growth as well as providing long term employment for individual employees

To achieve this goal the MIoD provides competitive compensation and certain social benefits to all employees while maintaining a positive work environment The MIoD is committed to providing a total compensation package that enables the Institute to attract and retain skilled employees for all positions A competitive total compensation package includes an effective salary and a benefits plan which aims tobull payafairbasicsalaryforthejobbybenchmarkingagainst similar jobs and similar organisations in Mauritius and taking into consideration internal equity specific job requirements and the skills knowledge and abilities of the employeebull providebasicbenefitsandbull recogniseindividualcontributionthroughtheperformance bonus system

The total compensation package also includes payment of a 13th month salary in line with Mauritian legislation which is normally paid in December and is calculated proportionately to the time of service during the year All employees receive a pay slip and salaries are paid on 26th of each month by standing order

42 Suppliers The MIoD has adopted a lsquoProcurement Policyrsquo to ensure that all procurement activities carried out by the MIoDbull provide best possible valuebull are conducted in a fair objective and transparent mannerbull are compliant with all relevant legislation and any other related policiesbull use best practice in the application of ethical standards andbull are consistent with the MIoDrsquos Vision Mission and Values

The choice of suppliers is influenced by the above mentioned objectives Although environmental benefits are considered as part of the procurement process with due consideration given to all relevant aspects of whole life-cycle costs of products the MIoD does not have a specific policy of preferring locally based suppliers

For some events and where a local capacity gap exists the MIoD has recourse to overseas facilitators to bring best practice to Mauritius

The MIoD intends to assess the geographical spread of its

procurement practices and report on the percentage of procurement budget which is spent on local suppliers in its next financial year At the same time the need to amend the procurement policy to promote local suppliers will also be considered

43 Recruitment Policy Under the Equal Opportunities Act 2008 (lsquoEOArsquo) an employer cannot discriminate against an employeeprospective employee on the basis of the following

The EOA also specifies that employers should be exclusively merit-oriented in their approach when it comes to selecting recruiting employing appraising promoting or dismissing an employee

Although the guidelines are not of a mandatory nature for the MIoD as it employs less than 10 employees on a full-time basis the MIoD is committed to a policy of equal opportunities

Its HR Policies amp Guidelines provides that no unlawful discrimination occurs in the recruitment and selection process on the grounds of race religion or belief colour sex age national origin disability or sexual orientation The MIoDrsquos HR Policy and Guidelines can be found on the website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepageAll employees are hired from the local community although this is not explicitly stated in our HR Policy and Guidelines

5 Environmental Performance51 MaterialsThe main consumable materials used by the MIoD are shown in this chart

52 Energy Consumption The only direct energy consumption relates to fossil fuel used in transportation by MIoD staff for work purposes This amounted to 94113 MJ for the reporting period Also the indirect energy used by MIoD relates to the consumption of electricity derived from the national electricity grid This was 10386 kWh electric for the reporting year ndash ie 11217 GJ thermal MIoD is not a producer of direct or indirect energiesInitiatives to reduce indirect energy consumption need to be investigated in the coming year This could for example include more energy-efficient lighting technologies A key constraint for the implementation of energy efficiency measures in office spaces is attributed to the fact that MIoD is only a tenant and such changes will have to be carried out by the building owner or manager

53 Water The MIoDrsquos consumption of water includes water delivered by the Central Water Authority water consumed from water fountains and bottled water for training workshops This was 26 m3year for the reporting period

54 Greenhouse Gas Emissions The total CO2 emissions of the MIoD has been estimated at 206 tonnes for the reporting period with direct and indirect emissions contributing 57 and 149 tonnes of CO2 respectively as follows bull IndirectemissionsofCO2 arose from the consumption of electricity and air travel This amounted to 107 tonnes and 42 tonnes of CO2 respectivelybull TotaldirectCO2 emissions related to land transport has been estimated at 57 tonnes of CO2 The estimation is based on the total distance travelled (km) during the reporting year an average fuel efficiency of 12 kmlitre of gasoline and the emission factor of motor gasoline

55 Waste All waste produced by MIoD and related to MIoD activities were sent to the landfill during the reporting period The main sources of waste were paper (350 kg or 035 tonnes) and plastic (37 kg or 0037 tonnes) By virtue of its activities MIoD does not deal with hazardous wastes of any kind

56 Mitigation of Environmental Impacts Following the Ecological Footprint Report undertaken in 2012 three areas were highlighted that needed attention

(i) food (mainly provided by third parties during delivery of MIoD trainings) (ii) consumables and(iii) waste management

In this respect the MIoD has undertaken in the financial year 2013-4 to bull workwithourkeythirdpartyfoodsupplierstoimprovethequality of the food offered during our training sessions especially taking into account the health problems in Mauritian society such as diabetes and to reduce our ecological footprint in this respect We have also engaged the advice of a nutritionistbull reducetheamountofplasticthatwepurchasebothinourownoffice but also through our third party suppliers In this respect we now have a water dispenser delivered to each training venue on the day of our training workshop to avoid the use of plastic bottles for our training sessions The next step is to work with our suppliers to encourage them to adopt this practicebull reducetheamountofpaperandinthisrespectwehaveagreedwith our Board Directors that effective August 2013 that we will no longer use paper but instead adopt appropriate laptop or tablet software for board papers During this year we will also undertake a complete review of our use of paper especially the printing of training manuals and see if we can fully or partially adopt alternative solutions to reduce our footprint The objective over time must be to become paperless We also intend to meet with the Registrar of Companies to lobby for the reduction in printing of Annual Reports and to allow shareholders to receive a soft copy and opt for a hard copy by exceptionbull ensurethatallouroldelectronicgoodssuchasprintersorcomputers are properly recycled using genuine recyclers andbull workwithourlandlordstointroducerecyclingbinsforallthetenants in our building Raffles Tower

57 Total Environmental Protection Expenditure and InvestmentTo date the MIoD has invested in consultancy services to help it calculate its Ecological Footprint and produce its first Integrated Report at a total cost of Rs 150000 The Ecological Footprint calculation is the benchmark for reducing our footprint in the future

6 Social61 Risks Related to Corruption An ethics risk assessment which also covered corruption risks was undertaken in 2011-2 The assessment covered all the activities of the MIoD Thereafter the MIoD Code of Conduct was reviewed and revised to address ethical conduct within the Company and by its members A Whistleblowing Policy has also been implemented The Ethics Risk Assessment Report and the MIoD Whistleblowing Policy can be found on the MIoD website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepage

be relevant Actual results may differ from these estimates

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in

revision affects both current and future periods

Where applicable the notes to the financial statements set out areas where management has applied a higher degree of judgement

that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements or estimations and assumptions that have a

significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year

With regards to the nature of the Companyrsquos business there were no key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources

ended30June2013wouldincreasedecreasebyRs44543(yearended30June2012increasedecreasebyRs33311)Thisismainly

attributable to the companyrsquos exposure to interest rates on its floating rate interest bearing asset The company does not have any

significant variable rate borrowings outstanding at year end

PROFILE OF SENIOR MANAGEMENT

Mauritius Institute of Directors - IntegratedReport Mauritius Institute of Directors - IntegratedReport10 11

On behalf of the Mauritius Institute of Directors (MIoD) I am pleased to make the following Statement to our members for the year ended 30 June 2013 OverviewGlobal economic prospects are slowly improving even though results are very mixed around the world

with the road to recovery in the advanced economies remaining bumpy according to the IMF while emerging market economies are doing well In 2013 after a weak first half real GDP growth in the advanced economies is projected to rise above 2 for the rest of the year and to average 225 in 2014 spurred by US growth of about 3 Most economies in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa and many economies in Latin America are now seeing higher growth Global growth is thus projected to continue to rise gradually

But there is no room for complacency given the strong interconnections between countries an uneven recovery is still a dangerous one While considerable progress has been made to improve financial regulation at both national and global levels the IMF recognises that there is still more to do to complete the regulatory reform agenda ldquoparticularly with regard to the too-big-to-fail problem nonbank financial institutions and shadow bankingrdquo

Our Mauritian economy has survived the turbulent past few years and is working hard at diversifying its exports and services away from the traditional European markets and increasingly towards Africa and Asia We have improved our ranking by 5 places to 19th position in the 2013 World Bank Ease of Doing Business and we continue to occupy the top place in Africa We have also held on to our No1 position in the Mo Ibrahim Index of African Governance However we have dropped 8 places in the Transparency International Corruption Perception Index in the last 2 years to 43rd place and the increasing number of scandals that have shaken our country in the last 12 months will not do much to remedy this perception unless we seriously start to address the issue of corruption More than ever we need good governance practices combined with effective leadership skills and underpinned by a strong ethical culture

At the MIoD we have been pleased to see this year the continued increased demand for membership and for our public workshops And the registered demand for in-house workshops testifies to the increasing interest Mauritian boards are paying to good corporate governance A growing number of companies are also leading the way by undertaking sustainability reporting corporate governance assessments ethics management board evaluations and family

governance initiatives More and more companies are using our Directorsrsquo Register to look for Independent Directors These are all very positive signs and bode well for the future

The publication of the Bank of Mauritius Corporate Governance Guideline as well as the FSCrsquos Circular Letter reminding directors of their duties and giving guidance on what would be considered as a reasonable number of directorships are all welcome initiatives to the Corporate Governance regulatory and compliance framework in Mauritius But they are also indications that our National Code of Corporate Governance (the Code) is fast being overtaken The MIoD therefore continues to support the view of the National Committee on Corporate Governance (NCCG) that a revision of the Code of Corporate Governance is well overdue The Code was written in 2003 and in the last 10 years the world has been rocked by a huge financial crisis Global standards and best practices in good governance have moved on and if we wish to maintain our position as regional leaders in Corporate Governance we need to update the Code Furthermore the recent amendments to the Financial Reporting Act while strengthening the enforcement of compliance to the Code nonetheless reveal inconsistencies as well as difficulties in applying the Code effectively We therefore appeal to the Minister of Finance to undertake this exercise as soon as possible

StrategyDuring the year the board undertook a review of our Vision Mission and Strategy The key challenges facing the Institute namely its long term sustainability establishing its legitimacy increasing its membership by attracting more young professionals public sector executives as well as seasoned Directors and maintaining funding from our existing Founders and Patrons were addressed in two half day off sites in November 2012 The outcome was our new Vision Mission and Strategy reflected in our latest 3 year Business Plan for 2013-2016 Our strategy will ensure that webull respondtoourmembersrsquoneedsandprovideclearbenefits for each categorybull remainrelevantthroughregularstakeholderengagementbull ensureweareaccessibleandaffordablebull nurturethenextgenerationofdirectorsbull widenthescopeofourservicesbeyondcorporate governancebull differentiatetheMIoDfromotherprofessional organisations through our area of focus and specialisation ndash corporate governance best business practices leadership and professional developmentbull maintainthequalityandsustainedfocusofourtraining and educationbull arearolemodelandthereferencepointforcorporate governance and best business practicesbull becomeacredibleandrecognisedvoiceforDirectorsandbull supportMauritiusasaregionalleader

CHAIRMANrsquoS STATEMENT

Initiatives and HighlightsOne of the key highlights of the year was undoubtedly celebrating our 5th Anniversary with our members and sponsors at Angsana Balaclava on 17th May 2013 with our guest of honour the President of the Republic of Mauritius This was also the opportunity for the MIoD to recognise the role of the National Committee on Corporate Governance in initiating the creation of an Institute of Directors in Mauritius Over the years the NCCG has continued to support the MIoD by collaborating on workshops conferences and future research

The MIoDlsquos key role at the forefront of good corporate governance is to develop better informed and more effective directors In the past year the MIoD has continued to provide practical guidance and a better understanding of the various aspects of corporate governance by helping directors improve their knowledge and skills We have invited several high profile overseas guest speakers and facilitators including Prof Mervyn King Dr Teodorina Lessidrenska Linda de Beer Chris Pierce Phil Armstrong Mike Saunders Bert van Walbeek Maggie Gorse Guillermo Miranda Prof Deon Rossouw Alison Dillon Kibirige and Dr Graeme Codrington

Throughout the year we have also benefited from the expertise of our team of local trainers and facilitators as well as many local experts whom I would like to thank whole heartedly for their support

We have renewed our successful collaboration with the Ethics Institute of South Africa (EthicsSA) and take this opportunity to thank them and the IFC Global Corporate Governance Forum for the use of their training materials as well as for their invaluable support

We have increased our range of corporate services this year to includebull InHouseTrainingbull BoardAppraisalsbull CorporateGovernanceAssessmentsbull EthicsRiskAssessmentsbull CodeofConductDevelopmentbull EthicsOfficerTrainingandCertificationandbull EthicsManagementConsultingandTraining

The last year has seen some significant new initiatives at the MIoD The Directors Forum is gradually establishing its role as an Advisory Council to the MIoD focusing on Directorsrsquo issues and through the Forumrsquos expertise and representation providing guidance on key issues of governance and directorship in Mauritius In September 2012 the Forum launched its first publication Best Practice Guidelines for the Appointment of Directors The Directors Forum is currently working on its next publication an Ethics Guide for Boards which should be launched in September 2013 The Forum also has a sub-committee dedicated to the public sector We take this opportunity to thank all those who serve pro-bono on

the Directors Forum for their commitment to the cause of good corporate governance and better boards

The MIoD also undertook to measure its Ecological Footprint and as result will look at how we can reduce our footprint in the coming years In addition the Board as part of our strategy to be a model of corporate governance has decided that this yearrsquos Annual Report should be an Integrated Report with two new sections ndash a Sustainability Report and a Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Content Index We hope this will encourage other companies in Mauritius to follow this initiative In the medium to long term the objective is to positively influence all our stakeholders The Sustainability Report proposes concrete actions that will be carried out in the 2013-4 financial year demonstrating MIoDrsquos commitment to internalise sustainability practices in its operations and those of its valued stakeholders In order to support Mauritius as a regional leader the MIoD in collaboration with the Institute of Directors Southern Africa (IoDSA) has been spearheading the setting up of an African Corporate Governance Network (ACGN) With the current focus on growth and development in Africa good corporate governance and capacity building in this area is highly important 12 Institutes from across Africa have come together and the ACGN will be formally launched on 16 October 2013 in Mauritius

The year ahead brings some other exciting events and initiatives including our 2nd International Conference on 17 and 18 October 2013 this time in collaboration with IODSA on the theme ldquoAfricaRising Corporate Governance for Sustainability The Road Map for Value Creation rdquo We have invited a distinguished list of international speakers and we see this Conference as an opportunity to promote Mauritius as the gateway to Africa and as a regional leader in the global governance landscape

In the coming year we will also be launching the Audit Committee Forum recognising the key role that audit committees play in ensuring good Corporate Governance and as a way of providing audit committee members and other directors with a resource to help them to keep up-to-date on current and emerging issues

Continued GrowthThe MIoD remains a private independent not-for-profit membership organisation regulated by the Companies Act We depend on membership and our membership growth continues on target testifying to the interest in our activities The Institute is made up of individual members whom we are here to serve We thank you for your continued support

We have however been less successful this last year in attracting young professionals whom we see as the future directors of tomorrow and this will be a focus for us to work on in the coming year reviewing our image and benefits for this category of member

DIRECTORSrsquo REPORT

1 Our StrategyIn the light of the strategic planning sessions held by the Board in November 2012 the vision and mission of the MIoD were reviewed in line with our values and updated to take into account feedback from the stakeholders of the MIoD

The strategic objectives of the MIoD as developed in its new three year (2013-2016) strategic plan address the key challenges and critical issues which were identified asbull assuring the long term sustainability of the Institutebull establishing the legitimacy of the MIoDbull attracting non-Directors Associates and members from the Public Sector as well as seasoned Directors andbull maintaining existing Founders and Patrons and attracting new Patrons

2 Risk ManagementThe MIoD Risk Register is regularly updated and includes this year an ethics risk assessment completed in August 2012 a review of our members Code of Conduct and the introduction of a Whistleblowing Policy A Business Continuity Plan was also approved and now needs to be fully tested

Our current reliance on funding by Founders and Patrons was reviewed and a sector analysis undertaken to ensure we are not vulnerable to financial downturn in any one sector while continuing to seek new Patrons and assurances from current Founders and Patrons as to their continued support

5 Founders and Patrons

The generous contributions and support of our Founders and Patrons were publicly acknowledged by the MIoD during the 5th anniversary celebrations where commemorative certificates were presented to them

With that milestone came also the end of the 5 year agreement that was made with the original Founders and Patrons They have all been approached to seek their continuing support for the MIoDrsquos work and we are pleased to report that 90 have so far agreed to renew their support for another period of five years

The trust placed in the MIoD by our Founders and Patrons helps us to continue in our mission to champion best business practices and effective corporate governance supporting Mauritius as a regional leader and to be the voice of Directors through training and certification programmes workshops and networking events advocacy research and thought leadership reaching out to both private and public sector enterprises

Founders and patrons contributed 35 of our revenue

6 Membership

Membership has increased by 27 and is in line with our target We are forecasting continued growth with 200 new members per annum for the next 3 years We have not been as successful in attracting Associates compared to other categories of members and we are in the process of reviewing the benefits package for Associates as well as our communications strategy for this market segment

63 of our members are directors but we continue to focus on the recruitment and nurturing of aspiring directors and young professionals who will be the directors of tomorrow

Membership retention is 91 over the 5 year life of the MIoD 40 of the loss of membership is due to members moving overseas ill health or no longer being professionally active and 30 for non-payment of membership fees

New partners are added from time to time so please consult our website wwwmiodmu for updatesMembership fees and affinity revenues currently account for 15 of the total MIoD revenue

7 Directorsrsquo Register

The Directorsrsquo Register (the Register) was set up in 2011 to enable companies to find suitable independent directors for their boards It is made up of Members and Fellows of the MIoD who are senior executives or directors from cross sections of industries and professions This is a free service for members and allows them to promote themselves as a potential independent director to sit on the boards of other organisations There is a small fee for companies who wish to undertake a search but a free search is offered to our Founders or Patrons and to registered NGOs as part of our Corporate Social Responsibility

We currently have 136 members on the Register and are happy to report that the 21 director search requests were received during 2012-3 Since January 2013 the demand has increased substantially and we believe there will be a higher number of search requests in the future as boards diversify and continue to implement good governance best practices

As from 1 September 2013 all new Members and Fellows of the MIoD will automatically be added to the Register upon receiving their membership confirmation

8 Training and Education

Our recent membersrsquo survey shows that membersrsquo satisfaction is overall very high at 97 In our aim to be customer driven and responsive membersrsquo feedback is greatly valued and very useful for reviewing the services we offer

Our members have received a new Membership Card this year entitling them to discounts on products and services with a growing number of affinity partners which include

Training and education continues to be one of the key activities of the MIoD Our partnership with high profile international trainers coupled with local trainers and local experts has enabled us to deliver high quality training workshops with a very high satisfaction rate The MIoD has been approved as a Training Institute by the Mauritius Qualifications Authority All the MIoD workshops are MQA approved and qualify for HRDC refunds as well as Continuing Professional Development (CPD) units

We continue to work closely with the IFC Global Corporate Governance Forum (GCGF) and the Ethics Institute of South Africa whose materials we mainly use for all our workshops

During last year we have invited several high profile overseas guest speakers and facilitators including Prof Mervyn King Dr Teodorina Lessidrenska Linda de Beer Chris Pierce Phil Armstrong Mike Saunders Bert van Walbeek Maggie Gorse Guillermo Miranda Prof Deon Rossouw Alison Dillon Kibirige and Dr Graeme Codrington

We ran a 5 day Ethics Officer Certification Programme in collaboration with the Ethics Institute of South Africa for the 3rd consecutive year and have now trained over 30 Ethics Officers in Mauritius

Also this year in collaboration with the GCGF we ran a Training of Trainers workshop facilitated by Chris Pierce thus increasing our trainers and facilitators pool to 11

The MIoD also relies heavily on local expertise in all its workshops and again thanks are due to all those local presenters who have provided their collaboration the past year especially the members of the National Committee on Corporate Governance

9 Corporate Services

We have continued to diversify our activities and the MIoD is increasingly being asked to help with Board and Board Committee Appraisals Corporate Governance Reporting Corporate Governance Assessments Ethics Risk Assessments Code of Conduct Development and Ethics Management Consulting Our Information and Guidance services are also regularly consulted

The revenue derived from these activities has been incuded this year under training and education but will be accounted separately next year

10 Events

14 People Processes Technology

We have this year taken on two new team members bringing the team to 6 including the CEO Rizwana Eathally joined us as Membership amp Marketing Officer in October 2012 and Tioumitra (Ambrish) Maharahaje joined us as Executive Secretary in March 2013 taking over as the MIoD Company Secretary as well as Executive Secretary of the Directors Forum and the Audit Committee Forum managing the Directorsrsquo Register and leading future research projects

Last year we upgraded our accounts system with Pastel and this has proved an invaluable investment This year we have undertaken to build a new interactive website and integrated CRM Both are nearly finalised and should be fully operational in September 2013

All our processes at the MIoD are continually evolving and being reviewed as we grow We have reviewed this year our Accounting Membership and Training Procedures as well as the management of our Members and Directorsrsquo Registers

15 Finances

Although our membership has increased substantially and continues to grow and our training programme and corporate services have expanded the MIOD continues to rely on the contributions of its Founders and Patrons These contributions enable membership of the MIoD attendance at its events and use of its services to be accessible to the maximum number of people by keeping our fees at an affordable level

Accumulated funds have been placed on fixed deposits with the Mauritius Post and Cooperative Bank this being renegotiated at regular intervals

The MIoD has again this year made a small surplus of Rs 353508 for the year which is above targeted results

16 The Coming YearThe MIoD has a new three year business plan and will continue to focus on membership growth particularly for Associate members but also membership from the public sector and from more seasoned directors During the coming year we will

be undertaking a branding exercise to evaluate our image and encouraging greater stakeholder engagement to ensure excellent customer service and responsiveness through an Annual Members Forum and Survey and by establishing MOUs with key regulators

Ensuring high quality training and education remains a key objective by continuing to provide an innovative and interesting training programme with our team of 11 local trainers and consultants as well as high level overseas facilitators In 20134 this will include a Thought Leadership Programme and we hope to work more closely with the public sector We will also introduce information and consulting services and set up a Research unit to undertake research into directorsrsquo remuneration business ethics and board practices in Mauritius

The Audit Committee Forum will also start to operate and build capacity and the Directors Forum will continue to establish itself as the voice of Directors

As part of our Corporate Social Responsibility we will continue to offer pro-bono Directors Searches and Corporate Governance and Skills training for registered NGOs

We will follow up on the improvement of our Ecological Footprint by focusing on the reduction of our use of paper plastic and improving the quality of the food served at our workshops

Our new website will be launched shortly along with our new Customer Relationship Management system and our presence on LinkedIn Twitter and Facebook will be reinforced

The highlight of the coming year will undoubtedly be the launch of the African Corporate Governance Network on 16 October and our International Conference being organised in collaboration with the IoDSA on 17 and 18 October on the theme ldquoAfrica Rising Governance for Sustainability the Road Map for Value Creationrdquo with a big line up of distinguished speakers led by Baroness Lynda Chalker

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT

1Compliance StatementIn accordance with its mission statement the Mauritius Institute of Directors (lsquoMIoDrsquo or the lsquoCompanyrsquo) is committed to applying the principles of good corporate governance in its operations Rather than adopting a lsquotick the boxrsquo approach to complying with the Code the MIoD has embedded the principles of the Code in its day to day operations

During the year the MIoD has complied with all material aspects of the principles of the Code Given that it has only six employees the Board considers that it functions effectively with only one Executive Director namely the CEO

2Corporate Details and Holding StructureIncorporated in Mauritius as a public company limited by guarantee on 11 February 2008 the MIoD is a non-profit organization engaged in the promotion of good corporate governance in Mauritius and training and development

The rights powers duties and obligations of the Company the Board each director and the members of the Company are governed by the Constitution of the Company and the Companies Act 2001

The constitution of the MIoD provides that inter alia21 every member irrespective of his class of membership including a person who has been a member at any time within 12 months from the effective date of the winding up of the Institute shall in the event of the Company having a deficit in disposable assets over its liabilities contribute a maximum of one hundred (100) Mauritian Rupees to the assets of the Company in the event of it being wound up22 the monies collected shall be applied for the payment of the debts and liabilities of the Company and the payment of the costs charges and expenses associated with the winding up the Company and23 the Directors are prohibited from making any form of distribution including distributing dividends returns of capital income or profits of the Company to the Members However the Company shall use any surplus funds in any year to pursue the goals set out in Article 5 of this Constitution

The full version of the constitution is available on the MIoD website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepage

3 The BoardFrom 1 June 2012 to 7 February 2013 the Board of the MIoD was comprised of 12 directors (6 male and 6 female) of whom 11 were independent directors and one was classified as an Executive Director namely the Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

A vacancy arose on the Board on 7 February 2013 when Mrs Aruna Collendavelloo stepped down as director of the Company As there was no urgent need to appoint a replacement and on the recommendation of the Nominations and Membership Committee it was resolved that such vacancy would be filled at the Annual Meeting of Members (AMM) scheduled on 25 September 2013

The profiles of the directors are set out on pages 7 to 9 of the report

Mr Deva Armoogum was appointed as Chairman of the Board by his fellow directors following the AMM held on 26 September 2012

For the year under review the Board considered its composition as adequately balanced and that the directors had the appropriate range of skills expertise and experience required to carry out their duties properly in order to serve the interests of all the stakeholders and provide effective corporate governance

The Constitution of the Company provides that with the exception of the Chief Executive Officer every other director shall be eligible for reappointment for a maximum of five consecutive years

In line with the Code all directors who meet the eligibility criteria stand for re-election at the AMM on the recommendation of the Nominations and Membership Committee

Messrs Deva Armoogum Georges Leung Shing and Mrs Danielle Lagesse having reached their term of office will not stand for re-election at the next AMM Mr Vaughan Heberden has also indicated that he will be stepping down at the next AMM The Nominations and Membership Committee has thus reviewed the skills competencies and experience required to enable the Board to function efficiently as well as the profile of the directors eligible for re-election Their contribution to board and committee meetings were also considered

Pursuant to such review the Nominations and Membership Committee has recommended that the following directors be considered for re-election at the Annual Meeting

1 James Benoit2 Ravin Lama3 Heba Jangeerkhan4 Patricia Day-Hookoomsing5 Catherine Dvorak6 Richard Wooding

As regards the five remaining vacancies on the Board the Committee has recommended that candidates with a background in the legal and accounting fields as well as in corporate governance matters be considered for election as director of the Company

A notice inviting members to apply for consideration as director of the Company was issued on 21 May 2013

On appointment to the Board new directors receive a comprehensive induction pack from the Company Secretary and the CEO and have informal meetings with the Chairman fellow Board members Nominations and Membership Committee the CEO and the employees of the MIoD The functions and responsibilities of the Chairman and CEO are separate

The Chairman and the CEO in collaboration with the Company Secretary agreed on the Board meeting calendar for the year and the Board meeting agendas in advance to ensure adequate coverage of key issues throughout the year Board packs are usually sent to the directors five days in advance

All directors have access to the Company Secretary and CEO to discuss issues or to obtain information on specific areas or items to be considered at Board meetings or any other area they consider appropriate Directors attend Board meetings unless exceptional circumstances prevent them from so doing

Furthermore the directors have the right to request independent professional advice at the expense of the Company The Board also invites third parties with relevant experience and expertise to attend board meetings as and when required

1 Report Content and Reporting ParametersThis report marks two significant milestones for the MIoD It is the MIoDrsquos first Integrated Report and it also marks the first time that the GRI framework has been adopted for sustainability reporting by the MIoD These milestones are timely and are squarely aligned with MIoDrsquos position in the market to promote corporate sustainability and to lead by exampleThe integrated report has adopted the G31 guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative and it reflects MIoDrsquos commitment to provide a transparent and fair review of its strategy performance and activities in 2012-3 to its stakeholders The triple bottom line reporting has endeavoured to provide an open and honest summary of the social economic and environmental impacts stemming from our activities and commitments practices objectives and performance results regarding the management of our impacts The report contains a combination of quantitative and qualitative impactsMIoD has also adopted a learning-by-doing approach to internalise integrated sustainability reporting as a strategic management tool To reflect this approach we have realised this report in the GRI Level C application with the view that MIoD will graduate progressively to higher level reporting over time It is understood that the learning-by-doing approach implies that the processes tools and methodologies applied to identify prioritise and validate report content and reporting parameters will evolve over time Nevertheless the processes tools and methodologies are systemic and have been applied systematically to allow year-on-year comparisons of MIoDrsquos performance This is even more so because MIoD is a relatively young organisation that holds a unique position vis-agrave-vis its stakeholdersWe have used GRI Reporting Standard principles in determining the scope of the report content structure and quality and data calculation and disclosure techniques The content of this report discloses MIoDrsquos performance for the period starting July 1 2012 and ending June 30 2013

2 Report Scope amp BoundaryThe activities of MIoD cover the geographical area of the Republic of Mauritius and most of these activities take place in the island of Mauritius The report boundary is therefore the activities of MIoD in Mauritius In addition to GRIrsquos Sustainability Reporting Guidelines (GRI 31) the report also follows the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for financial reporting and the Code of Corporate Governance of Mauritius 2004 Boundaries for non-financial data collection are consistent with our financial reporting thus aligning financial environmental and social reporting Since stakeholder inclusiveness is a cross-cutting issue in determining the content and scope of reporting we have attempted to take into consideration the expectations of our stakeholders as well as to quantify or qualify the impacts of our activities on their well-being including present and future considerations and to take remedial actions Our stakeholder engagement processes are discussed below

3 Determining Report ContentGuided by the G31 reporting guidelines and principles and technical protocol the following criteria have been observed in preparing this reportStakeholder inclusivenessStakeholder identification and engagement have been carried out using a combination of three methods namely (1) market knowledge by virtue of being the main organization mandated to foster the development of corporate governance at the level of Boards and upper management in Mauritius (2) value-chain analysis to establish the entire supply chain of MIoDrsquos services including the enabling environment and business providers and (3) on-going surveys with existing and potential members

The stakeholders of the MIoD are set out below

MIoD appreciates the benefits derived from stakeholder engagement and endeavours to maintain close proximity with key stakeholders We carry out membership surveys ethics risk assessments and on-going evaluations of our training programmes to identify and address issues that are relevant to our stakeholders and also to engage our stakeholders in assessing MIoDrsquos performance risks and opportunities For instance the following examples are pertinent

Sustainability ContextAs a leading organization promoting corporate sustainability we consider sustainability as an integral aspect of our decision-making process and of the way we do business on the economic social and environmental fronts This is important on two counts namely (1) the increasing awareness in the Mauritian public and private sector for mainstreaming the three pillars of sustainable development and (2) the recognition that corporate sustainability can be a significant comparative advantage and differentiation strategy It is worth mentioning here that MIoDrsquos Integrated Report is squarely aligned with the newly adopted Maurice Ile Durable (MID) Policy Strategy and Action Plan of Mauritius especially concerning lsquoenhancing the corporate environment social responsibility and accountabilityrsquo (wwwmidmu ndash accessed 12 July 2013) The sectorial MID Strategy for employmenteconomy specifically refers to the use of GRI as a benchmark for developing a Sustainability Index for publicly listed companies

CompletenessWe have ensured that all the material topics and indicators covered in this report reflect completely the significant economic environmental and social impacts of our activities and enable our stakeholders to assess our performance in 2012-3 effectively

BalanceWe have attempted to present an unbiased picture of our performance by avoiding selections omissions or presentation formats that are reasonably likely to unduly or inappropriately influence the readerrsquos decision or judgment The report provides both favourable and unfavourable results as well as results that can influence the decisions of stakeholders in proportion to their materiality This is a commitment to MIoDrsquos transparency

ComparabilitySince this is the first integrated sustainability report results present the baseline data and information against which comparative performance analysis will be carried out in the future

AccuracyThe different data in this report have been presented both on a qualitative and quantitative basis In any case we have ensured openness in measurements and qualitative analyses while bearing in mind that data would need to be verifiable While the non-financial components of the present report have not been subject to an independent third party audit the processes methodologies and tools for generating and analysing quantitative and qualitative data were adopted because they lend themselves to such audits Where applicable such as in the case of Ecological Footprint analysis discussed below error analysis is provided to deal with uncertainties in measurements

TimelinessThis report will be issued for the purpose of the Annual Meeting of Members on 25 September 2013 It will enable all our stakeholders to assess this report and provide us with relevant feedback for future reporting This open review process forms an integral part of the learning-by-doing approach

ClarityThis report has been presented in a manner that is understandable accessible and usable by our stakeholders As far as practicable graphics and data tables have been used to present information

ReliabilityInformation and processes used in the preparation of this report have been consistently gathered recorded compiled analysed and disclosed in a way that has been subject to constant examination by a competent internal team together with the help of an external consultancy firm with experience in integrated sustainability reporting using the GRI G31 Reporting Guidelines and Principles

MaterialityAccording to the GRI G31 Guidelines materiality has to be determined by considering the economic environmental and social impacts that cross a threshold in affecting the ability to

meet the needs of the present without compromising the needs of future generations Since the identification of thresholds is not trivial especially when considering long-term impacts or impacts where root causes and their effects are delocalised geographically and across different time horizons the methodology applied by MIoD to gauge materiality is evolving as it strives to better integrate sustainability across its entire spectrum of operations and services The underlying approach is to identify and prioritise those impacts that have a propensity to create preserve or erode economic environmental and social value for itself and its stakeholders In order to be methodological and systematic a combination of approaches has been used to determine materiality and the contents of this reportbull ThelegalrequirementsoftheRepublicofMauritiusInmanyinstances the operating legal framework prescribes minimum or allowable socio-economic and environmental impacts and these thresholds are usually identified because of their materialitybull Adoptionofathoroughriskmanagementprocessthatallowsus to assess and mitigate the impacts of our operations (and vice versa) beyond the financial imperative The risk management process also makes visible opportunities to better serve our stakeholdersbull Bykeepingacloseproximitywithourstakeholdersasexplained above under lsquoStakeholder Inclusivenessrsquobull IdentificationofinternalissuesthroughmeetingswithMIoDteam members as well as subscribing to continuous learning to better adhere to our policies values strategies targets and risk management processes andbull CarryingoutanEcologicalFootprintanalysisofouroperationsthat cover the impacts of the following (1) food (mainly provided by third parties during delivery of MIoD training) (2) consumables (3) utilities buildings and transport and (4) waste The first Ecological Footprint analysis was carried out for the calendar year 2012 (a copy of the report can be obtained from our website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepage) and its results and recommendations were approved by the MIoDrsquos Board of Directors on 5 December 2012 The time period for the Ecological Footprint analysis has been revised to match the reporting period July 2012-June 2013 and the Footprint updated The analysis has been used to quantify impacts identify impacts of most significance and provide a basis for taking remedial actions across the value chain as discussed in this report Ecological Footprint analysis has been adopted as one way to deal with the difficulties in establishing thresholds for sustainability impacts The Ecological Footprint analysis also captures the ecological impacts of services delivered (except for electricity and primary energy consumption) by third party venues during MIoD training

MIoDrsquos materiality framework is evolving We are confident that the results presented here are sufficiently robust to instil confidence in the quality of the report The integrated Sustainability Report should be read in conjunction with our online resources

Validation is currently essentially an internally orientated process with authorisation by the CEO and Executive Secretary and ultimate approval of the Integrated Report by the Board of Directors

Performance indicators have been chosen for reporting purposes based on three main factors1 Results of the Ecological Footprint Analysis2 Our ability or maturity to respond and3 The opportunity for MIoD to grow and gain advantage from the impacts

The calculation of Performance Indicators has followed the GRI Indicator Protocols GHG emissions arising from the use of electricity has been calculated from the Grid Emission Factor of Mauritius using the methodological tool 07 ndash ie ldquoTool to calculate the emission factor for an electricity system (Version 0300) - proposed by the Clean Development Mechanism for calculating the operating margin (httpcdmunfcccintmethodologiesPAmethodologiestoolsam-tool-07-v300pdf )rdquo GHG emissions arising from business-related air travel have been calculated using the official ICAO online calculator (httpwww2icaointencarbonoffsetPagesdefaultaspx)

4 Market Position41 Range of Ratios of Standard Entry Level Wage by Gender The MIoD does not differentiate salaries on the basis of gender nor do we have a standard entry wage level for employees Entry salaries are based on industry and market benchmarks the entrantrsquos educational level and relevant experience The Board Nominations Committee is responsible for reviewing and recommending to the Board any changes to employeesrsquo remuneration Employees are rewarded for their contribution to the Companyrsquos performance based on their performance against annual KPIs and the companyrsquos financial position

The MIoD employs 5 staff excluding the CEO ndash 3 female and 2 male The lowest male basic salary is Rs 28618 and the lowest female basic monthly salary is Rs 14478 There is no official minimum wage in Mauritius in our sector However as per the Ministry of Labour and the National Remuneration Order for Travel Agents and Tour Operators Workers a similar service sector the minimum wages prescribed for comparable jobs are as follows

bull SeniorAccountsClerkRs10306bull AdministrativeClerkRs8717

Mauritius Institute of Directors - IntegratedReport Mauritius Institute of Directors - IntegratedReport32 33

Based on this methodology the ratio of entry level wage by gender compared to local minimum wage for comparable jobs is 126 for male staff and 117 for female staff The apparent difference between the two ratios does not imply gender bias at MIoD since for any specific position a male or female employee would receive the same remuneration all else being equal

The MIoD is focused on continually developing a workforce that is dedicated motivated and well trained in order to assure the Institutersquos future development and growth as well as providing long term employment for individual employees

To achieve this goal the MIoD provides competitive compensation and certain social benefits to all employees while maintaining a positive work environment The MIoD is committed to providing a total compensation package that enables the Institute to attract and retain skilled employees for all positions A competitive total compensation package includes an effective salary and a benefits plan which aims tobull payafairbasicsalaryforthejobbybenchmarkingagainst similar jobs and similar organisations in Mauritius and taking into consideration internal equity specific job requirements and the skills knowledge and abilities of the employeebull providebasicbenefitsandbull recogniseindividualcontributionthroughtheperformance bonus system

The total compensation package also includes payment of a 13th month salary in line with Mauritian legislation which is normally paid in December and is calculated proportionately to the time of service during the year All employees receive a pay slip and salaries are paid on 26th of each month by standing order

42 Suppliers The MIoD has adopted a lsquoProcurement Policyrsquo to ensure that all procurement activities carried out by the MIoDbull provide best possible valuebull are conducted in a fair objective and transparent mannerbull are compliant with all relevant legislation and any other related policiesbull use best practice in the application of ethical standards andbull are consistent with the MIoDrsquos Vision Mission and Values

The choice of suppliers is influenced by the above mentioned objectives Although environmental benefits are considered as part of the procurement process with due consideration given to all relevant aspects of whole life-cycle costs of products the MIoD does not have a specific policy of preferring locally based suppliers

For some events and where a local capacity gap exists the MIoD has recourse to overseas facilitators to bring best practice to Mauritius

The MIoD intends to assess the geographical spread of its

procurement practices and report on the percentage of procurement budget which is spent on local suppliers in its next financial year At the same time the need to amend the procurement policy to promote local suppliers will also be considered

43 Recruitment Policy Under the Equal Opportunities Act 2008 (lsquoEOArsquo) an employer cannot discriminate against an employeeprospective employee on the basis of the following

The EOA also specifies that employers should be exclusively merit-oriented in their approach when it comes to selecting recruiting employing appraising promoting or dismissing an employee

Although the guidelines are not of a mandatory nature for the MIoD as it employs less than 10 employees on a full-time basis the MIoD is committed to a policy of equal opportunities

Its HR Policies amp Guidelines provides that no unlawful discrimination occurs in the recruitment and selection process on the grounds of race religion or belief colour sex age national origin disability or sexual orientation The MIoDrsquos HR Policy and Guidelines can be found on the website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepageAll employees are hired from the local community although this is not explicitly stated in our HR Policy and Guidelines

5 Environmental Performance51 MaterialsThe main consumable materials used by the MIoD are shown in this chart

52 Energy Consumption The only direct energy consumption relates to fossil fuel used in transportation by MIoD staff for work purposes This amounted to 94113 MJ for the reporting period Also the indirect energy used by MIoD relates to the consumption of electricity derived from the national electricity grid This was 10386 kWh electric for the reporting year ndash ie 11217 GJ thermal MIoD is not a producer of direct or indirect energiesInitiatives to reduce indirect energy consumption need to be investigated in the coming year This could for example include more energy-efficient lighting technologies A key constraint for the implementation of energy efficiency measures in office spaces is attributed to the fact that MIoD is only a tenant and such changes will have to be carried out by the building owner or manager

53 Water The MIoDrsquos consumption of water includes water delivered by the Central Water Authority water consumed from water fountains and bottled water for training workshops This was 26 m3year for the reporting period

54 Greenhouse Gas Emissions The total CO2 emissions of the MIoD has been estimated at 206 tonnes for the reporting period with direct and indirect emissions contributing 57 and 149 tonnes of CO2 respectively as follows bull IndirectemissionsofCO2 arose from the consumption of electricity and air travel This amounted to 107 tonnes and 42 tonnes of CO2 respectivelybull TotaldirectCO2 emissions related to land transport has been estimated at 57 tonnes of CO2 The estimation is based on the total distance travelled (km) during the reporting year an average fuel efficiency of 12 kmlitre of gasoline and the emission factor of motor gasoline

55 Waste All waste produced by MIoD and related to MIoD activities were sent to the landfill during the reporting period The main sources of waste were paper (350 kg or 035 tonnes) and plastic (37 kg or 0037 tonnes) By virtue of its activities MIoD does not deal with hazardous wastes of any kind

56 Mitigation of Environmental Impacts Following the Ecological Footprint Report undertaken in 2012 three areas were highlighted that needed attention

(i) food (mainly provided by third parties during delivery of MIoD trainings) (ii) consumables and(iii) waste management

In this respect the MIoD has undertaken in the financial year 2013-4 to bull workwithourkeythirdpartyfoodsupplierstoimprovethequality of the food offered during our training sessions especially taking into account the health problems in Mauritian society such as diabetes and to reduce our ecological footprint in this respect We have also engaged the advice of a nutritionistbull reducetheamountofplasticthatwepurchasebothinourownoffice but also through our third party suppliers In this respect we now have a water dispenser delivered to each training venue on the day of our training workshop to avoid the use of plastic bottles for our training sessions The next step is to work with our suppliers to encourage them to adopt this practicebull reducetheamountofpaperandinthisrespectwehaveagreedwith our Board Directors that effective August 2013 that we will no longer use paper but instead adopt appropriate laptop or tablet software for board papers During this year we will also undertake a complete review of our use of paper especially the printing of training manuals and see if we can fully or partially adopt alternative solutions to reduce our footprint The objective over time must be to become paperless We also intend to meet with the Registrar of Companies to lobby for the reduction in printing of Annual Reports and to allow shareholders to receive a soft copy and opt for a hard copy by exceptionbull ensurethatallouroldelectronicgoodssuchasprintersorcomputers are properly recycled using genuine recyclers andbull workwithourlandlordstointroducerecyclingbinsforallthetenants in our building Raffles Tower

57 Total Environmental Protection Expenditure and InvestmentTo date the MIoD has invested in consultancy services to help it calculate its Ecological Footprint and produce its first Integrated Report at a total cost of Rs 150000 The Ecological Footprint calculation is the benchmark for reducing our footprint in the future

6 Social61 Risks Related to Corruption An ethics risk assessment which also covered corruption risks was undertaken in 2011-2 The assessment covered all the activities of the MIoD Thereafter the MIoD Code of Conduct was reviewed and revised to address ethical conduct within the Company and by its members A Whistleblowing Policy has also been implemented The Ethics Risk Assessment Report and the MIoD Whistleblowing Policy can be found on the MIoD website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepage

be relevant Actual results may differ from these estimates

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in

the year in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that year or in the period of the revision and future periods if the

revision affects both current and future periods

Where applicable the notes to the financial statements set out areas where management has applied a higher degree of judgement

that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements or estimations and assumptions that have a

significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year

With regards to the nature of the Companyrsquos business there were no key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources

of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting year that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the

PROFILE OF SENIOR MANAGEMENT

Mauritius Institute of Directors - IntegratedReport Mauritius Institute of Directors - IntegratedReport10 11

On behalf of the Mauritius Institute of Directors (MIoD) I am pleased to make the following Statement to our members for the year ended 30 June 2013 OverviewGlobal economic prospects are slowly improving even though results are very mixed around the world

with the road to recovery in the advanced economies remaining bumpy according to the IMF while emerging market economies are doing well In 2013 after a weak first half real GDP growth in the advanced economies is projected to rise above 2 for the rest of the year and to average 225 in 2014 spurred by US growth of about 3 Most economies in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa and many economies in Latin America are now seeing higher growth Global growth is thus projected to continue to rise gradually

But there is no room for complacency given the strong interconnections between countries an uneven recovery is still a dangerous one While considerable progress has been made to improve financial regulation at both national and global levels the IMF recognises that there is still more to do to complete the regulatory reform agenda ldquoparticularly with regard to the too-big-to-fail problem nonbank financial institutions and shadow bankingrdquo

Our Mauritian economy has survived the turbulent past few years and is working hard at diversifying its exports and services away from the traditional European markets and increasingly towards Africa and Asia We have improved our ranking by 5 places to 19th position in the 2013 World Bank Ease of Doing Business and we continue to occupy the top place in Africa We have also held on to our No1 position in the Mo Ibrahim Index of African Governance However we have dropped 8 places in the Transparency International Corruption Perception Index in the last 2 years to 43rd place and the increasing number of scandals that have shaken our country in the last 12 months will not do much to remedy this perception unless we seriously start to address the issue of corruption More than ever we need good governance practices combined with effective leadership skills and underpinned by a strong ethical culture

At the MIoD we have been pleased to see this year the continued increased demand for membership and for our public workshops And the registered demand for in-house workshops testifies to the increasing interest Mauritian boards are paying to good corporate governance A growing number of companies are also leading the way by undertaking sustainability reporting corporate governance assessments ethics management board evaluations and family

governance initiatives More and more companies are using our Directorsrsquo Register to look for Independent Directors These are all very positive signs and bode well for the future

The publication of the Bank of Mauritius Corporate Governance Guideline as well as the FSCrsquos Circular Letter reminding directors of their duties and giving guidance on what would be considered as a reasonable number of directorships are all welcome initiatives to the Corporate Governance regulatory and compliance framework in Mauritius But they are also indications that our National Code of Corporate Governance (the Code) is fast being overtaken The MIoD therefore continues to support the view of the National Committee on Corporate Governance (NCCG) that a revision of the Code of Corporate Governance is well overdue The Code was written in 2003 and in the last 10 years the world has been rocked by a huge financial crisis Global standards and best practices in good governance have moved on and if we wish to maintain our position as regional leaders in Corporate Governance we need to update the Code Furthermore the recent amendments to the Financial Reporting Act while strengthening the enforcement of compliance to the Code nonetheless reveal inconsistencies as well as difficulties in applying the Code effectively We therefore appeal to the Minister of Finance to undertake this exercise as soon as possible

StrategyDuring the year the board undertook a review of our Vision Mission and Strategy The key challenges facing the Institute namely its long term sustainability establishing its legitimacy increasing its membership by attracting more young professionals public sector executives as well as seasoned Directors and maintaining funding from our existing Founders and Patrons were addressed in two half day off sites in November 2012 The outcome was our new Vision Mission and Strategy reflected in our latest 3 year Business Plan for 2013-2016 Our strategy will ensure that webull respondtoourmembersrsquoneedsandprovideclearbenefits for each categorybull remainrelevantthroughregularstakeholderengagementbull ensureweareaccessibleandaffordablebull nurturethenextgenerationofdirectorsbull widenthescopeofourservicesbeyondcorporate governancebull differentiatetheMIoDfromotherprofessional organisations through our area of focus and specialisation ndash corporate governance best business practices leadership and professional developmentbull maintainthequalityandsustainedfocusofourtraining and educationbull arearolemodelandthereferencepointforcorporate governance and best business practicesbull becomeacredibleandrecognisedvoiceforDirectorsandbull supportMauritiusasaregionalleader

CHAIRMANrsquoS STATEMENT

Initiatives and HighlightsOne of the key highlights of the year was undoubtedly celebrating our 5th Anniversary with our members and sponsors at Angsana Balaclava on 17th May 2013 with our guest of honour the President of the Republic of Mauritius This was also the opportunity for the MIoD to recognise the role of the National Committee on Corporate Governance in initiating the creation of an Institute of Directors in Mauritius Over the years the NCCG has continued to support the MIoD by collaborating on workshops conferences and future research

The MIoDlsquos key role at the forefront of good corporate governance is to develop better informed and more effective directors In the past year the MIoD has continued to provide practical guidance and a better understanding of the various aspects of corporate governance by helping directors improve their knowledge and skills We have invited several high profile overseas guest speakers and facilitators including Prof Mervyn King Dr Teodorina Lessidrenska Linda de Beer Chris Pierce Phil Armstrong Mike Saunders Bert van Walbeek Maggie Gorse Guillermo Miranda Prof Deon Rossouw Alison Dillon Kibirige and Dr Graeme Codrington

Throughout the year we have also benefited from the expertise of our team of local trainers and facilitators as well as many local experts whom I would like to thank whole heartedly for their support

We have renewed our successful collaboration with the Ethics Institute of South Africa (EthicsSA) and take this opportunity to thank them and the IFC Global Corporate Governance Forum for the use of their training materials as well as for their invaluable support

We have increased our range of corporate services this year to includebull InHouseTrainingbull BoardAppraisalsbull CorporateGovernanceAssessmentsbull EthicsRiskAssessmentsbull CodeofConductDevelopmentbull EthicsOfficerTrainingandCertificationandbull EthicsManagementConsultingandTraining

The last year has seen some significant new initiatives at the MIoD The Directors Forum is gradually establishing its role as an Advisory Council to the MIoD focusing on Directorsrsquo issues and through the Forumrsquos expertise and representation providing guidance on key issues of governance and directorship in Mauritius In September 2012 the Forum launched its first publication Best Practice Guidelines for the Appointment of Directors The Directors Forum is currently working on its next publication an Ethics Guide for Boards which should be launched in September 2013 The Forum also has a sub-committee dedicated to the public sector We take this opportunity to thank all those who serve pro-bono on

the Directors Forum for their commitment to the cause of good corporate governance and better boards

The MIoD also undertook to measure its Ecological Footprint and as result will look at how we can reduce our footprint in the coming years In addition the Board as part of our strategy to be a model of corporate governance has decided that this yearrsquos Annual Report should be an Integrated Report with two new sections ndash a Sustainability Report and a Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Content Index We hope this will encourage other companies in Mauritius to follow this initiative In the medium to long term the objective is to positively influence all our stakeholders The Sustainability Report proposes concrete actions that will be carried out in the 2013-4 financial year demonstrating MIoDrsquos commitment to internalise sustainability practices in its operations and those of its valued stakeholders In order to support Mauritius as a regional leader the MIoD in collaboration with the Institute of Directors Southern Africa (IoDSA) has been spearheading the setting up of an African Corporate Governance Network (ACGN) With the current focus on growth and development in Africa good corporate governance and capacity building in this area is highly important 12 Institutes from across Africa have come together and the ACGN will be formally launched on 16 October 2013 in Mauritius

The year ahead brings some other exciting events and initiatives including our 2nd International Conference on 17 and 18 October 2013 this time in collaboration with IODSA on the theme ldquoAfricaRising Corporate Governance for Sustainability The Road Map for Value Creation rdquo We have invited a distinguished list of international speakers and we see this Conference as an opportunity to promote Mauritius as the gateway to Africa and as a regional leader in the global governance landscape

In the coming year we will also be launching the Audit Committee Forum recognising the key role that audit committees play in ensuring good Corporate Governance and as a way of providing audit committee members and other directors with a resource to help them to keep up-to-date on current and emerging issues

Continued GrowthThe MIoD remains a private independent not-for-profit membership organisation regulated by the Companies Act We depend on membership and our membership growth continues on target testifying to the interest in our activities The Institute is made up of individual members whom we are here to serve We thank you for your continued support

We have however been less successful this last year in attracting young professionals whom we see as the future directors of tomorrow and this will be a focus for us to work on in the coming year reviewing our image and benefits for this category of member

DIRECTORSrsquo REPORT

1 Our StrategyIn the light of the strategic planning sessions held by the Board in November 2012 the vision and mission of the MIoD were reviewed in line with our values and updated to take into account feedback from the stakeholders of the MIoD

New Vision and MissionOur Vision is to be the preferred professional organisation for directors and aspiring directors as well as business leaders and Our Mission is to champion best business practices and effective corporate governance supporting Mauritius as a regional leader and to be the voice of Directors through training and certification programmes workshops and networking events advocacy research and thought leadership reaching out to both private and public sector enterprises

The strategic objectives of the MIoD as developed in its new three year (2013-2016) strategic plan address the key challenges and critical issues which were identified asbull assuring the long term sustainability of the Institutebull establishing the legitimacy of the MIoDbull attracting non-Directors Associates and members from the Public Sector as well as seasoned Directors andbull maintaining existing Founders and Patrons and attracting new Patrons

2 Risk ManagementThe MIoD Risk Register is regularly updated and includes this year an ethics risk assessment completed in August 2012 a review of our members Code of Conduct and the introduction of a Whistleblowing Policy A Business Continuity Plan was also approved and now needs to be fully tested

Our current reliance on funding by Founders and Patrons was reviewed and a sector analysis undertaken to ensure we are not vulnerable to financial downturn in any one sector while continuing to seek new Patrons and assurances from current Founders and Patrons as to their continued support

Debtor management has been improved with the implementation last year of Pastel and by improved procedures this year

IT security is ensured by daily back up of accounts and key data and a full back up every 15 days is held off site

3 Integrated ReportThe Integrated Report produced for the first time this year is part of our objective to be a role model of good Corporate Governance and best practice The MIoD recognizes that it operates within a social and economic environment and that its long term interest is to conduct itself as a ldquoresponsible corporate citizenrdquo For its ecological footprint the MIoD has worked with ELIA - Ecological Living in Action the successful tenderer The approach used has been one of learning-by-doing to build the internal capacity of MIoD to develop its Integrated Report on an annual basis and to use it as a strategic tool for fostering leadership in corporate governance The Footprint Report for 20123 is available on our website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepage The MIoD is now working towards Level C GRI certification and will continue to improve its Integrated Reporting based on the feedback obtained from stakeholders and in line with best practice

4 Key Performance Indicators The strategic objectives are translated into Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) which are regularly monitored by the Board to ensure that the objectives of the MIoD are met The KPIs for 2012-3 were

bull Engagement(withallstakeholders)bull Professionalism(qualityandhighstandards)bull Accessibility(cost)bull Responsiveness(serviceandreactivity)bull Openness(transparency)bull Model(leadershipandintegrity)bull Learningandsharing(knowledgeandinformation)bull Innovativeandcreative(dynamic)

5 Founders and Patrons

The generous contributions and support of our Founders and Patrons were publicly acknowledged by the MIoD during the 5th anniversary celebrations where commemorative certificates were presented to them

With that milestone came also the end of the 5 year agreement that was made with the original Founders and Patrons They have all been approached to seek their continuing support for the MIoDrsquos work and we are pleased to report that 90 have so far agreed to renew their support for another period of five years

The trust placed in the MIoD by our Founders and Patrons helps us to continue in our mission to champion best business practices and effective corporate governance supporting Mauritius as a regional leader and to be the voice of Directors through training and certification programmes workshops and networking events advocacy research and thought leadership reaching out to both private and public sector enterprises

Founders and patrons contributed 35 of our revenue

6 Membership

Membership has increased by 27 and is in line with our target We are forecasting continued growth with 200 new members per annum for the next 3 years We have not been as successful in attracting Associates compared to other categories of members and we are in the process of reviewing the benefits package for Associates as well as our communications strategy for this market segment

63 of our members are directors but we continue to focus on the recruitment and nurturing of aspiring directors and young professionals who will be the directors of tomorrow

Membership retention is 91 over the 5 year life of the MIoD 40 of the loss of membership is due to members moving overseas ill health or no longer being professionally active and 30 for non-payment of membership fees

New partners are added from time to time so please consult our website wwwmiodmu for updatesMembership fees and affinity revenues currently account for 15 of the total MIoD revenue

7 Directorsrsquo Register

The Directorsrsquo Register (the Register) was set up in 2011 to enable companies to find suitable independent directors for their boards It is made up of Members and Fellows of the MIoD who are senior executives or directors from cross sections of industries and professions This is a free service for members and allows them to promote themselves as a potential independent director to sit on the boards of other organisations There is a small fee for companies who wish to undertake a search but a free search is offered to our Founders or Patrons and to registered NGOs as part of our Corporate Social Responsibility

We currently have 136 members on the Register and are happy to report that the 21 director search requests were received during 2012-3 Since January 2013 the demand has increased substantially and we believe there will be a higher number of search requests in the future as boards diversify and continue to implement good governance best practices

As from 1 September 2013 all new Members and Fellows of the MIoD will automatically be added to the Register upon receiving their membership confirmation

8 Training and Education

Our recent membersrsquo survey shows that membersrsquo satisfaction is overall very high at 97 In our aim to be customer driven and responsive membersrsquo feedback is greatly valued and very useful for reviewing the services we offer

Our members have received a new Membership Card this year entitling them to discounts on products and services with a growing number of affinity partners which include

Training and education continues to be one of the key activities of the MIoD Our partnership with high profile international trainers coupled with local trainers and local experts has enabled us to deliver high quality training workshops with a very high satisfaction rate The MIoD has been approved as a Training Institute by the Mauritius Qualifications Authority All the MIoD workshops are MQA approved and qualify for HRDC refunds as well as Continuing Professional Development (CPD) units

We continue to work closely with the IFC Global Corporate Governance Forum (GCGF) and the Ethics Institute of South Africa whose materials we mainly use for all our workshops

During last year we have invited several high profile overseas guest speakers and facilitators including Prof Mervyn King Dr Teodorina Lessidrenska Linda de Beer Chris Pierce Phil Armstrong Mike Saunders Bert van Walbeek Maggie Gorse Guillermo Miranda Prof Deon Rossouw Alison Dillon Kibirige and Dr Graeme Codrington

We ran a 5 day Ethics Officer Certification Programme in collaboration with the Ethics Institute of South Africa for the 3rd consecutive year and have now trained over 30 Ethics Officers in Mauritius

Also this year in collaboration with the GCGF we ran a Training of Trainers workshop facilitated by Chris Pierce thus increasing our trainers and facilitators pool to 11

The MIoD also relies heavily on local expertise in all its workshops and again thanks are due to all those local presenters who have provided their collaboration the past year especially the members of the National Committee on Corporate Governance

9 Corporate Services

We have continued to diversify our activities and the MIoD is increasingly being asked to help with Board and Board Committee Appraisals Corporate Governance Reporting Corporate Governance Assessments Ethics Risk Assessments Code of Conduct Development and Ethics Management Consulting Our Information and Guidance services are also regularly consulted

The revenue derived from these activities has been incuded this year under training and education but will be accounted separately next year

10 Events

The MIoD held 4 members events in the last year including a networking event held at the Blue Penny Museum in Port Louis and another at the Maritim Hotel Balaclava

The Annual Membersrsquo Meeting was held on 26 September 2012 with Philip Armstrong Head of the IFC Global Corporate Governance Forum as guest speaker talking on the topic ldquoSelecting a Board ndash An Art or a Sciencerdquo

The MIoD also celebrated its 5th anniversary this year at Angsana Balaclava Mauritius The guest of honour for the event was the President of the Republic of Mauritius His Excellency Mr Rajkeswur Purryag GCSK GOSK The event was attended by over 125 members and guests

Our thanks go to Phoenix Beverages for their sponsorship of all these membersrsquo events

11 Communications Visibility and Brand Development

The MIoD continues to build our brand recognition and increase our visibility with regular PR and media coverage We have received extended coverage throughout the year of our workshops our overseas and local facilitators who have been

interviewed in the press as well as interviews with the Chairman and the CEO Retainer spend media coverage was above target at 16 as was Advertising Value Equivalency at 125

Our members have received regular communications from us on our workshops and events as well as our quarterly on line newsletters and our membersrsquo survey

During this year the MIoD has also increased its visibility and communications on social media especially LinkedIN Facebook and Twitter

12 Advocacy and Publications

The MIoD is more and more being recognised as a key stakeholder in the corporate governance arena both locally and regionally

On the international front the MIoD has spearheaded along with the IoDSA the setting up of an African Corporate Governance Network and is working with 12 Directors Organisations from various African countries (Kenya Malawi Morocco Mozambique Nigeria Senegal Tanzania Uganda Zambia Zimbabwe as well as Mauritius and South Africa) towards the official launch of the African Corporate Governance Network in Mauritius on 16 October 2013 2 meetings of the ACGN have been held so far the first in Johannesburg sponsored by Standard Bank and the second in Harare sponsored by ACCA and attended by the World Bank the IFC NEPAD Business Foundation and Ernst amp Young

14 People Processes Technology

We have this year taken on two new team members bringing the team to 6 including the CEO Rizwana Eathally joined us as Membership amp Marketing Officer in October 2012 and Tioumitra (Ambrish) Maharahaje joined us as Executive Secretary in March 2013 taking over as the MIoD Company Secretary as well as Executive Secretary of the Directors Forum and the Audit Committee Forum managing the Directorsrsquo Register and leading future research projects

Last year we upgraded our accounts system with Pastel and this has proved an invaluable investment This year we have undertaken to build a new interactive website and integrated CRM Both are nearly finalised and should be fully operational in September 2013

All our processes at the MIoD are continually evolving and being reviewed as we grow We have reviewed this year our Accounting Membership and Training Procedures as well as the management of our Members and Directorsrsquo Registers

15 Finances

Although our membership has increased substantially and continues to grow and our training programme and corporate services have expanded the MIOD continues to rely on the contributions of its Founders and Patrons These contributions enable membership of the MIoD attendance at its events and use of its services to be accessible to the maximum number of people by keeping our fees at an affordable level

Accumulated funds have been placed on fixed deposits with the Mauritius Post and Cooperative Bank this being renegotiated at regular intervals

The MIoD has again this year made a small surplus of Rs 353508 for the year which is above targeted results

16 The Coming YearThe MIoD has a new three year business plan and will continue to focus on membership growth particularly for Associate members but also membership from the public sector and from more seasoned directors During the coming year we will

be undertaking a branding exercise to evaluate our image and encouraging greater stakeholder engagement to ensure excellent customer service and responsiveness through an Annual Members Forum and Survey and by establishing MOUs with key regulators

Ensuring high quality training and education remains a key objective by continuing to provide an innovative and interesting training programme with our team of 11 local trainers and consultants as well as high level overseas facilitators In 20134 this will include a Thought Leadership Programme and we hope to work more closely with the public sector We will also introduce information and consulting services and set up a Research unit to undertake research into directorsrsquo remuneration business ethics and board practices in Mauritius

The Audit Committee Forum will also start to operate and build capacity and the Directors Forum will continue to establish itself as the voice of Directors

As part of our Corporate Social Responsibility we will continue to offer pro-bono Directors Searches and Corporate Governance and Skills training for registered NGOs

We will follow up on the improvement of our Ecological Footprint by focusing on the reduction of our use of paper plastic and improving the quality of the food served at our workshops

Our new website will be launched shortly along with our new Customer Relationship Management system and our presence on LinkedIn Twitter and Facebook will be reinforced

The highlight of the coming year will undoubtedly be the launch of the African Corporate Governance Network on 16 October and our International Conference being organised in collaboration with the IoDSA on 17 and 18 October on the theme ldquoAfrica Rising Governance for Sustainability the Road Map for Value Creationrdquo with a big line up of distinguished speakers led by Baroness Lynda Chalker

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT

1Compliance StatementIn accordance with its mission statement the Mauritius Institute of Directors (lsquoMIoDrsquo or the lsquoCompanyrsquo) is committed to applying the principles of good corporate governance in its operations Rather than adopting a lsquotick the boxrsquo approach to complying with the Code the MIoD has embedded the principles of the Code in its day to day operations

During the year the MIoD has complied with all material aspects of the principles of the Code Given that it has only six employees the Board considers that it functions effectively with only one Executive Director namely the CEO

2Corporate Details and Holding StructureIncorporated in Mauritius as a public company limited by guarantee on 11 February 2008 the MIoD is a non-profit organization engaged in the promotion of good corporate governance in Mauritius and training and development

The rights powers duties and obligations of the Company the Board each director and the members of the Company are governed by the Constitution of the Company and the Companies Act 2001

The constitution of the MIoD provides that inter alia21 every member irrespective of his class of membership including a person who has been a member at any time within 12 months from the effective date of the winding up of the Institute shall in the event of the Company having a deficit in disposable assets over its liabilities contribute a maximum of one hundred (100) Mauritian Rupees to the assets of the Company in the event of it being wound up22 the monies collected shall be applied for the payment of the debts and liabilities of the Company and the payment of the costs charges and expenses associated with the winding up the Company and23 the Directors are prohibited from making any form of distribution including distributing dividends returns of capital income or profits of the Company to the Members However the Company shall use any surplus funds in any year to pursue the goals set out in Article 5 of this Constitution

The full version of the constitution is available on the MIoD website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepage

3 The BoardFrom 1 June 2012 to 7 February 2013 the Board of the MIoD was comprised of 12 directors (6 male and 6 female) of whom 11 were independent directors and one was classified as an Executive Director namely the Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

A vacancy arose on the Board on 7 February 2013 when Mrs Aruna Collendavelloo stepped down as director of the Company As there was no urgent need to appoint a replacement and on the recommendation of the Nominations and Membership Committee it was resolved that such vacancy would be filled at the Annual Meeting of Members (AMM) scheduled on 25 September 2013

The profiles of the directors are set out on pages 7 to 9 of the report

Mr Deva Armoogum was appointed as Chairman of the Board by his fellow directors following the AMM held on 26 September 2012

For the year under review the Board considered its composition as adequately balanced and that the directors had the appropriate range of skills expertise and experience required to carry out their duties properly in order to serve the interests of all the stakeholders and provide effective corporate governance

The Constitution of the Company provides that with the exception of the Chief Executive Officer every other director shall be eligible for reappointment for a maximum of five consecutive years

In line with the Code all directors who meet the eligibility criteria stand for re-election at the AMM on the recommendation of the Nominations and Membership Committee

Messrs Deva Armoogum Georges Leung Shing and Mrs Danielle Lagesse having reached their term of office will not stand for re-election at the next AMM Mr Vaughan Heberden has also indicated that he will be stepping down at the next AMM The Nominations and Membership Committee has thus reviewed the skills competencies and experience required to enable the Board to function efficiently as well as the profile of the directors eligible for re-election Their contribution to board and committee meetings were also considered

Pursuant to such review the Nominations and Membership Committee has recommended that the following directors be considered for re-election at the Annual Meeting

1 James Benoit2 Ravin Lama3 Heba Jangeerkhan4 Patricia Day-Hookoomsing5 Catherine Dvorak6 Richard Wooding

As regards the five remaining vacancies on the Board the Committee has recommended that candidates with a background in the legal and accounting fields as well as in corporate governance matters be considered for election as director of the Company

A notice inviting members to apply for consideration as director of the Company was issued on 21 May 2013

On appointment to the Board new directors receive a comprehensive induction pack from the Company Secretary and the CEO and have informal meetings with the Chairman fellow Board members Nominations and Membership Committee the CEO and the employees of the MIoD The functions and responsibilities of the Chairman and CEO are separate

The Chairman and the CEO in collaboration with the Company Secretary agreed on the Board meeting calendar for the year and the Board meeting agendas in advance to ensure adequate coverage of key issues throughout the year Board packs are usually sent to the directors five days in advance

All directors have access to the Company Secretary and CEO to discuss issues or to obtain information on specific areas or items to be considered at Board meetings or any other area they consider appropriate Directors attend Board meetings unless exceptional circumstances prevent them from so doing

Furthermore the directors have the right to request independent professional advice at the expense of the Company The Board also invites third parties with relevant experience and expertise to attend board meetings as and when required

Besides Board meetings decisions are also taken through written Board resolutions as and when required

The attendance of directors at board and committee meetings is set out in the table on page 26

The profiles of the senior management team are set out at page 9 of the report

1 Report Content and Reporting ParametersThis report marks two significant milestones for the MIoD It is the MIoDrsquos first Integrated Report and it also marks the first time that the GRI framework has been adopted for sustainability reporting by the MIoD These milestones are timely and are squarely aligned with MIoDrsquos position in the market to promote corporate sustainability and to lead by exampleThe integrated report has adopted the G31 guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative and it reflects MIoDrsquos commitment to provide a transparent and fair review of its strategy performance and activities in 2012-3 to its stakeholders The triple bottom line reporting has endeavoured to provide an open and honest summary of the social economic and environmental impacts stemming from our activities and commitments practices objectives and performance results regarding the management of our impacts The report contains a combination of quantitative and qualitative impactsMIoD has also adopted a learning-by-doing approach to internalise integrated sustainability reporting as a strategic management tool To reflect this approach we have realised this report in the GRI Level C application with the view that MIoD will graduate progressively to higher level reporting over time It is understood that the learning-by-doing approach implies that the processes tools and methodologies applied to identify prioritise and validate report content and reporting parameters will evolve over time Nevertheless the processes tools and methodologies are systemic and have been applied systematically to allow year-on-year comparisons of MIoDrsquos performance This is even more so because MIoD is a relatively young organisation that holds a unique position vis-agrave-vis its stakeholdersWe have used GRI Reporting Standard principles in determining the scope of the report content structure and quality and data calculation and disclosure techniques The content of this report discloses MIoDrsquos performance for the period starting July 1 2012 and ending June 30 2013

2 Report Scope amp BoundaryThe activities of MIoD cover the geographical area of the Republic of Mauritius and most of these activities take place in the island of Mauritius The report boundary is therefore the activities of MIoD in Mauritius In addition to GRIrsquos Sustainability Reporting Guidelines (GRI 31) the report also follows the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for financial reporting and the Code of Corporate Governance of Mauritius 2004 Boundaries for non-financial data collection are consistent with our financial reporting thus aligning financial environmental and social reporting Since stakeholder inclusiveness is a cross-cutting issue in determining the content and scope of reporting we have attempted to take into consideration the expectations of our stakeholders as well as to quantify or qualify the impacts of our activities on their well-being including present and future considerations and to take remedial actions Our stakeholder engagement processes are discussed below

3 Determining Report ContentGuided by the G31 reporting guidelines and principles and technical protocol the following criteria have been observed in preparing this reportStakeholder inclusivenessStakeholder identification and engagement have been carried out using a combination of three methods namely (1) market knowledge by virtue of being the main organization mandated to foster the development of corporate governance at the level of Boards and upper management in Mauritius (2) value-chain analysis to establish the entire supply chain of MIoDrsquos services including the enabling environment and business providers and (3) on-going surveys with existing and potential members

The stakeholders of the MIoD are set out below

MIoD appreciates the benefits derived from stakeholder engagement and endeavours to maintain close proximity with key stakeholders We carry out membership surveys ethics risk assessments and on-going evaluations of our training programmes to identify and address issues that are relevant to our stakeholders and also to engage our stakeholders in assessing MIoDrsquos performance risks and opportunities For instance the following examples are pertinent

Sustainability ContextAs a leading organization promoting corporate sustainability we consider sustainability as an integral aspect of our decision-making process and of the way we do business on the economic social and environmental fronts This is important on two counts namely (1) the increasing awareness in the Mauritian public and private sector for mainstreaming the three pillars of sustainable development and (2) the recognition that corporate sustainability can be a significant comparative advantage and differentiation strategy It is worth mentioning here that MIoDrsquos Integrated Report is squarely aligned with the newly adopted Maurice Ile Durable (MID) Policy Strategy and Action Plan of Mauritius especially concerning lsquoenhancing the corporate environment social responsibility and accountabilityrsquo (wwwmidmu ndash accessed 12 July 2013) The sectorial MID Strategy for employmenteconomy specifically refers to the use of GRI as a benchmark for developing a Sustainability Index for publicly listed companies

CompletenessWe have ensured that all the material topics and indicators covered in this report reflect completely the significant economic environmental and social impacts of our activities and enable our stakeholders to assess our performance in 2012-3 effectively

BalanceWe have attempted to present an unbiased picture of our performance by avoiding selections omissions or presentation formats that are reasonably likely to unduly or inappropriately influence the readerrsquos decision or judgment The report provides both favourable and unfavourable results as well as results that can influence the decisions of stakeholders in proportion to their materiality This is a commitment to MIoDrsquos transparency

ComparabilitySince this is the first integrated sustainability report results present the baseline data and information against which comparative performance analysis will be carried out in the future

AccuracyThe different data in this report have been presented both on a qualitative and quantitative basis In any case we have ensured openness in measurements and qualitative analyses while bearing in mind that data would need to be verifiable While the non-financial components of the present report have not been subject to an independent third party audit the processes methodologies and tools for generating and analysing quantitative and qualitative data were adopted because they lend themselves to such audits Where applicable such as in the case of Ecological Footprint analysis discussed below error analysis is provided to deal with uncertainties in measurements

TimelinessThis report will be issued for the purpose of the Annual Meeting of Members on 25 September 2013 It will enable all our stakeholders to assess this report and provide us with relevant feedback for future reporting This open review process forms an integral part of the learning-by-doing approach

ClarityThis report has been presented in a manner that is understandable accessible and usable by our stakeholders As far as practicable graphics and data tables have been used to present information

ReliabilityInformation and processes used in the preparation of this report have been consistently gathered recorded compiled analysed and disclosed in a way that has been subject to constant examination by a competent internal team together with the help of an external consultancy firm with experience in integrated sustainability reporting using the GRI G31 Reporting Guidelines and Principles

MaterialityAccording to the GRI G31 Guidelines materiality has to be determined by considering the economic environmental and social impacts that cross a threshold in affecting the ability to

meet the needs of the present without compromising the needs of future generations Since the identification of thresholds is not trivial especially when considering long-term impacts or impacts where root causes and their effects are delocalised geographically and across different time horizons the methodology applied by MIoD to gauge materiality is evolving as it strives to better integrate sustainability across its entire spectrum of operations and services The underlying approach is to identify and prioritise those impacts that have a propensity to create preserve or erode economic environmental and social value for itself and its stakeholders In order to be methodological and systematic a combination of approaches has been used to determine materiality and the contents of this reportbull ThelegalrequirementsoftheRepublicofMauritiusInmanyinstances the operating legal framework prescribes minimum or allowable socio-economic and environmental impacts and these thresholds are usually identified because of their materialitybull Adoptionofathoroughriskmanagementprocessthatallowsus to assess and mitigate the impacts of our operations (and vice versa) beyond the financial imperative The risk management process also makes visible opportunities to better serve our stakeholdersbull Bykeepingacloseproximitywithourstakeholdersasexplained above under lsquoStakeholder Inclusivenessrsquobull IdentificationofinternalissuesthroughmeetingswithMIoDteam members as well as subscribing to continuous learning to better adhere to our policies values strategies targets and risk management processes andbull CarryingoutanEcologicalFootprintanalysisofouroperationsthat cover the impacts of the following (1) food (mainly provided by third parties during delivery of MIoD training) (2) consumables (3) utilities buildings and transport and (4) waste The first Ecological Footprint analysis was carried out for the calendar year 2012 (a copy of the report can be obtained from our website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepage) and its results and recommendations were approved by the MIoDrsquos Board of Directors on 5 December 2012 The time period for the Ecological Footprint analysis has been revised to match the reporting period July 2012-June 2013 and the Footprint updated The analysis has been used to quantify impacts identify impacts of most significance and provide a basis for taking remedial actions across the value chain as discussed in this report Ecological Footprint analysis has been adopted as one way to deal with the difficulties in establishing thresholds for sustainability impacts The Ecological Footprint analysis also captures the ecological impacts of services delivered (except for electricity and primary energy consumption) by third party venues during MIoD training

MIoDrsquos materiality framework is evolving We are confident that the results presented here are sufficiently robust to instil confidence in the quality of the report The integrated Sustainability Report should be read in conjunction with our online resources

Validation is currently essentially an internally orientated process with authorisation by the CEO and Executive Secretary and ultimate approval of the Integrated Report by the Board of Directors

Performance indicators have been chosen for reporting purposes based on three main factors1 Results of the Ecological Footprint Analysis2 Our ability or maturity to respond and3 The opportunity for MIoD to grow and gain advantage from the impacts

The calculation of Performance Indicators has followed the GRI Indicator Protocols GHG emissions arising from the use of electricity has been calculated from the Grid Emission Factor of Mauritius using the methodological tool 07 ndash ie ldquoTool to calculate the emission factor for an electricity system (Version 0300) - proposed by the Clean Development Mechanism for calculating the operating margin (httpcdmunfcccintmethodologiesPAmethodologiestoolsam-tool-07-v300pdf )rdquo GHG emissions arising from business-related air travel have been calculated using the official ICAO online calculator (httpwww2icaointencarbonoffsetPagesdefaultaspx)

4 Market Position41 Range of Ratios of Standard Entry Level Wage by Gender The MIoD does not differentiate salaries on the basis of gender nor do we have a standard entry wage level for employees Entry salaries are based on industry and market benchmarks the entrantrsquos educational level and relevant experience The Board Nominations Committee is responsible for reviewing and recommending to the Board any changes to employeesrsquo remuneration Employees are rewarded for their contribution to the Companyrsquos performance based on their performance against annual KPIs and the companyrsquos financial position

The MIoD employs 5 staff excluding the CEO ndash 3 female and 2 male The lowest male basic salary is Rs 28618 and the lowest female basic monthly salary is Rs 14478 There is no official minimum wage in Mauritius in our sector However as per the Ministry of Labour and the National Remuneration Order for Travel Agents and Tour Operators Workers a similar service sector the minimum wages prescribed for comparable jobs are as follows

bull SeniorAccountsClerkRs10306bull AdministrativeClerkRs8717

Mauritius Institute of Directors - IntegratedReport Mauritius Institute of Directors - IntegratedReport32 33

Based on this methodology the ratio of entry level wage by gender compared to local minimum wage for comparable jobs is 126 for male staff and 117 for female staff The apparent difference between the two ratios does not imply gender bias at MIoD since for any specific position a male or female employee would receive the same remuneration all else being equal

The MIoD is focused on continually developing a workforce that is dedicated motivated and well trained in order to assure the Institutersquos future development and growth as well as providing long term employment for individual employees

To achieve this goal the MIoD provides competitive compensation and certain social benefits to all employees while maintaining a positive work environment The MIoD is committed to providing a total compensation package that enables the Institute to attract and retain skilled employees for all positions A competitive total compensation package includes an effective salary and a benefits plan which aims tobull payafairbasicsalaryforthejobbybenchmarkingagainst similar jobs and similar organisations in Mauritius and taking into consideration internal equity specific job requirements and the skills knowledge and abilities of the employeebull providebasicbenefitsandbull recogniseindividualcontributionthroughtheperformance bonus system

The total compensation package also includes payment of a 13th month salary in line with Mauritian legislation which is normally paid in December and is calculated proportionately to the time of service during the year All employees receive a pay slip and salaries are paid on 26th of each month by standing order

42 Suppliers The MIoD has adopted a lsquoProcurement Policyrsquo to ensure that all procurement activities carried out by the MIoDbull provide best possible valuebull are conducted in a fair objective and transparent mannerbull are compliant with all relevant legislation and any other related policiesbull use best practice in the application of ethical standards andbull are consistent with the MIoDrsquos Vision Mission and Values

The choice of suppliers is influenced by the above mentioned objectives Although environmental benefits are considered as part of the procurement process with due consideration given to all relevant aspects of whole life-cycle costs of products the MIoD does not have a specific policy of preferring locally based suppliers

For some events and where a local capacity gap exists the MIoD has recourse to overseas facilitators to bring best practice to Mauritius

The MIoD intends to assess the geographical spread of its

procurement practices and report on the percentage of procurement budget which is spent on local suppliers in its next financial year At the same time the need to amend the procurement policy to promote local suppliers will also be considered

43 Recruitment Policy Under the Equal Opportunities Act 2008 (lsquoEOArsquo) an employer cannot discriminate against an employeeprospective employee on the basis of the following

The EOA also specifies that employers should be exclusively merit-oriented in their approach when it comes to selecting recruiting employing appraising promoting or dismissing an employee

Although the guidelines are not of a mandatory nature for the MIoD as it employs less than 10 employees on a full-time basis the MIoD is committed to a policy of equal opportunities

Its HR Policies amp Guidelines provides that no unlawful discrimination occurs in the recruitment and selection process on the grounds of race religion or belief colour sex age national origin disability or sexual orientation The MIoDrsquos HR Policy and Guidelines can be found on the website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepageAll employees are hired from the local community although this is not explicitly stated in our HR Policy and Guidelines

5 Environmental Performance51 MaterialsThe main consumable materials used by the MIoD are shown in this chart

52 Energy Consumption The only direct energy consumption relates to fossil fuel used in transportation by MIoD staff for work purposes This amounted to 94113 MJ for the reporting period Also the indirect energy used by MIoD relates to the consumption of electricity derived from the national electricity grid This was 10386 kWh electric for the reporting year ndash ie 11217 GJ thermal MIoD is not a producer of direct or indirect energiesInitiatives to reduce indirect energy consumption need to be investigated in the coming year This could for example include more energy-efficient lighting technologies A key constraint for the implementation of energy efficiency measures in office spaces is attributed to the fact that MIoD is only a tenant and such changes will have to be carried out by the building owner or manager

53 Water The MIoDrsquos consumption of water includes water delivered by the Central Water Authority water consumed from water fountains and bottled water for training workshops This was 26 m3year for the reporting period

54 Greenhouse Gas Emissions The total CO2 emissions of the MIoD has been estimated at 206 tonnes for the reporting period with direct and indirect emissions contributing 57 and 149 tonnes of CO2 respectively as follows bull IndirectemissionsofCO2 arose from the consumption of electricity and air travel This amounted to 107 tonnes and 42 tonnes of CO2 respectivelybull TotaldirectCO2 emissions related to land transport has been estimated at 57 tonnes of CO2 The estimation is based on the total distance travelled (km) during the reporting year an average fuel efficiency of 12 kmlitre of gasoline and the emission factor of motor gasoline

55 Waste All waste produced by MIoD and related to MIoD activities were sent to the landfill during the reporting period The main sources of waste were paper (350 kg or 035 tonnes) and plastic (37 kg or 0037 tonnes) By virtue of its activities MIoD does not deal with hazardous wastes of any kind

56 Mitigation of Environmental Impacts Following the Ecological Footprint Report undertaken in 2012 three areas were highlighted that needed attention

(i) food (mainly provided by third parties during delivery of MIoD trainings) (ii) consumables and(iii) waste management

In this respect the MIoD has undertaken in the financial year 2013-4 to bull workwithourkeythirdpartyfoodsupplierstoimprovethequality of the food offered during our training sessions especially taking into account the health problems in Mauritian society such as diabetes and to reduce our ecological footprint in this respect We have also engaged the advice of a nutritionistbull reducetheamountofplasticthatwepurchasebothinourownoffice but also through our third party suppliers In this respect we now have a water dispenser delivered to each training venue on the day of our training workshop to avoid the use of plastic bottles for our training sessions The next step is to work with our suppliers to encourage them to adopt this practicebull reducetheamountofpaperandinthisrespectwehaveagreedwith our Board Directors that effective August 2013 that we will no longer use paper but instead adopt appropriate laptop or tablet software for board papers During this year we will also undertake a complete review of our use of paper especially the printing of training manuals and see if we can fully or partially adopt alternative solutions to reduce our footprint The objective over time must be to become paperless We also intend to meet with the Registrar of Companies to lobby for the reduction in printing of Annual Reports and to allow shareholders to receive a soft copy and opt for a hard copy by exceptionbull ensurethatallouroldelectronicgoodssuchasprintersorcomputers are properly recycled using genuine recyclers andbull workwithourlandlordstointroducerecyclingbinsforallthetenants in our building Raffles Tower

57 Total Environmental Protection Expenditure and InvestmentTo date the MIoD has invested in consultancy services to help it calculate its Ecological Footprint and produce its first Integrated Report at a total cost of Rs 150000 The Ecological Footprint calculation is the benchmark for reducing our footprint in the future

6 Social61 Risks Related to Corruption An ethics risk assessment which also covered corruption risks was undertaken in 2011-2 The assessment covered all the activities of the MIoD Thereafter the MIoD Code of Conduct was reviewed and revised to address ethical conduct within the Company and by its members A Whistleblowing Policy has also been implemented The Ethics Risk Assessment Report and the MIoD Whistleblowing Policy can be found on the MIoD website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepage

revision affects both current and future periods

Where applicable the notes to the financial statements set out areas where management has applied a higher degree of judgement

that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements or estimations and assumptions that have a

significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year

PROFILE OF SENIOR MANAGEMENT

Mauritius Institute of Directors - IntegratedReport Mauritius Institute of Directors - IntegratedReport10 11

On behalf of the Mauritius Institute of Directors (MIoD) I am pleased to make the following Statement to our members for the year ended 30 June 2013 OverviewGlobal economic prospects are slowly improving even though results are very mixed around the world

with the road to recovery in the advanced economies remaining bumpy according to the IMF while emerging market economies are doing well In 2013 after a weak first half real GDP growth in the advanced economies is projected to rise above 2 for the rest of the year and to average 225 in 2014 spurred by US growth of about 3 Most economies in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa and many economies in Latin America are now seeing higher growth Global growth is thus projected to continue to rise gradually

But there is no room for complacency given the strong interconnections between countries an uneven recovery is still a dangerous one While considerable progress has been made to improve financial regulation at both national and global levels the IMF recognises that there is still more to do to complete the regulatory reform agenda ldquoparticularly with regard to the too-big-to-fail problem nonbank financial institutions and shadow bankingrdquo

Our Mauritian economy has survived the turbulent past few years and is working hard at diversifying its exports and services away from the traditional European markets and increasingly towards Africa and Asia We have improved our ranking by 5 places to 19th position in the 2013 World Bank Ease of Doing Business and we continue to occupy the top place in Africa We have also held on to our No1 position in the Mo Ibrahim Index of African Governance However we have dropped 8 places in the Transparency International Corruption Perception Index in the last 2 years to 43rd place and the increasing number of scandals that have shaken our country in the last 12 months will not do much to remedy this perception unless we seriously start to address the issue of corruption More than ever we need good governance practices combined with effective leadership skills and underpinned by a strong ethical culture

At the MIoD we have been pleased to see this year the continued increased demand for membership and for our public workshops And the registered demand for in-house workshops testifies to the increasing interest Mauritian boards are paying to good corporate governance A growing number of companies are also leading the way by undertaking sustainability reporting corporate governance assessments ethics management board evaluations and family

governance initiatives More and more companies are using our Directorsrsquo Register to look for Independent Directors These are all very positive signs and bode well for the future

The publication of the Bank of Mauritius Corporate Governance Guideline as well as the FSCrsquos Circular Letter reminding directors of their duties and giving guidance on what would be considered as a reasonable number of directorships are all welcome initiatives to the Corporate Governance regulatory and compliance framework in Mauritius But they are also indications that our National Code of Corporate Governance (the Code) is fast being overtaken The MIoD therefore continues to support the view of the National Committee on Corporate Governance (NCCG) that a revision of the Code of Corporate Governance is well overdue The Code was written in 2003 and in the last 10 years the world has been rocked by a huge financial crisis Global standards and best practices in good governance have moved on and if we wish to maintain our position as regional leaders in Corporate Governance we need to update the Code Furthermore the recent amendments to the Financial Reporting Act while strengthening the enforcement of compliance to the Code nonetheless reveal inconsistencies as well as difficulties in applying the Code effectively We therefore appeal to the Minister of Finance to undertake this exercise as soon as possible

StrategyDuring the year the board undertook a review of our Vision Mission and Strategy The key challenges facing the Institute namely its long term sustainability establishing its legitimacy increasing its membership by attracting more young professionals public sector executives as well as seasoned Directors and maintaining funding from our existing Founders and Patrons were addressed in two half day off sites in November 2012 The outcome was our new Vision Mission and Strategy reflected in our latest 3 year Business Plan for 2013-2016 Our strategy will ensure that webull respondtoourmembersrsquoneedsandprovideclearbenefits for each categorybull remainrelevantthroughregularstakeholderengagementbull ensureweareaccessibleandaffordablebull nurturethenextgenerationofdirectorsbull widenthescopeofourservicesbeyondcorporate governancebull differentiatetheMIoDfromotherprofessional organisations through our area of focus and specialisation ndash corporate governance best business practices leadership and professional developmentbull maintainthequalityandsustainedfocusofourtraining and educationbull arearolemodelandthereferencepointforcorporate governance and best business practicesbull becomeacredibleandrecognisedvoiceforDirectorsandbull supportMauritiusasaregionalleader

CHAIRMANrsquoS STATEMENT

Initiatives and HighlightsOne of the key highlights of the year was undoubtedly celebrating our 5th Anniversary with our members and sponsors at Angsana Balaclava on 17th May 2013 with our guest of honour the President of the Republic of Mauritius This was also the opportunity for the MIoD to recognise the role of the National Committee on Corporate Governance in initiating the creation of an Institute of Directors in Mauritius Over the years the NCCG has continued to support the MIoD by collaborating on workshops conferences and future research

The MIoDlsquos key role at the forefront of good corporate governance is to develop better informed and more effective directors In the past year the MIoD has continued to provide practical guidance and a better understanding of the various aspects of corporate governance by helping directors improve their knowledge and skills We have invited several high profile overseas guest speakers and facilitators including Prof Mervyn King Dr Teodorina Lessidrenska Linda de Beer Chris Pierce Phil Armstrong Mike Saunders Bert van Walbeek Maggie Gorse Guillermo Miranda Prof Deon Rossouw Alison Dillon Kibirige and Dr Graeme Codrington

Throughout the year we have also benefited from the expertise of our team of local trainers and facilitators as well as many local experts whom I would like to thank whole heartedly for their support

We have renewed our successful collaboration with the Ethics Institute of South Africa (EthicsSA) and take this opportunity to thank them and the IFC Global Corporate Governance Forum for the use of their training materials as well as for their invaluable support

We have increased our range of corporate services this year to includebull InHouseTrainingbull BoardAppraisalsbull CorporateGovernanceAssessmentsbull EthicsRiskAssessmentsbull CodeofConductDevelopmentbull EthicsOfficerTrainingandCertificationandbull EthicsManagementConsultingandTraining

The last year has seen some significant new initiatives at the MIoD The Directors Forum is gradually establishing its role as an Advisory Council to the MIoD focusing on Directorsrsquo issues and through the Forumrsquos expertise and representation providing guidance on key issues of governance and directorship in Mauritius In September 2012 the Forum launched its first publication Best Practice Guidelines for the Appointment of Directors The Directors Forum is currently working on its next publication an Ethics Guide for Boards which should be launched in September 2013 The Forum also has a sub-committee dedicated to the public sector We take this opportunity to thank all those who serve pro-bono on

the Directors Forum for their commitment to the cause of good corporate governance and better boards

The MIoD also undertook to measure its Ecological Footprint and as result will look at how we can reduce our footprint in the coming years In addition the Board as part of our strategy to be a model of corporate governance has decided that this yearrsquos Annual Report should be an Integrated Report with two new sections ndash a Sustainability Report and a Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Content Index We hope this will encourage other companies in Mauritius to follow this initiative In the medium to long term the objective is to positively influence all our stakeholders The Sustainability Report proposes concrete actions that will be carried out in the 2013-4 financial year demonstrating MIoDrsquos commitment to internalise sustainability practices in its operations and those of its valued stakeholders In order to support Mauritius as a regional leader the MIoD in collaboration with the Institute of Directors Southern Africa (IoDSA) has been spearheading the setting up of an African Corporate Governance Network (ACGN) With the current focus on growth and development in Africa good corporate governance and capacity building in this area is highly important 12 Institutes from across Africa have come together and the ACGN will be formally launched on 16 October 2013 in Mauritius

The year ahead brings some other exciting events and initiatives including our 2nd International Conference on 17 and 18 October 2013 this time in collaboration with IODSA on the theme ldquoAfricaRising Corporate Governance for Sustainability The Road Map for Value Creation rdquo We have invited a distinguished list of international speakers and we see this Conference as an opportunity to promote Mauritius as the gateway to Africa and as a regional leader in the global governance landscape

In the coming year we will also be launching the Audit Committee Forum recognising the key role that audit committees play in ensuring good Corporate Governance and as a way of providing audit committee members and other directors with a resource to help them to keep up-to-date on current and emerging issues

Continued GrowthThe MIoD remains a private independent not-for-profit membership organisation regulated by the Companies Act We depend on membership and our membership growth continues on target testifying to the interest in our activities The Institute is made up of individual members whom we are here to serve We thank you for your continued support

We have however been less successful this last year in attracting young professionals whom we see as the future directors of tomorrow and this will be a focus for us to work on in the coming year reviewing our image and benefits for this category of member

DIRECTORSrsquo REPORT

1 Our StrategyIn the light of the strategic planning sessions held by the Board in November 2012 the vision and mission of the MIoD were reviewed in line with our values and updated to take into account feedback from the stakeholders of the MIoD

New Vision and MissionOur Vision is to be the preferred professional organisation for directors and aspiring directors as well as business leaders and Our Mission is to champion best business practices and effective corporate governance supporting Mauritius as a regional leader and to be the voice of Directors through training and certification programmes workshops and networking events advocacy research and thought leadership reaching out to both private and public sector enterprises

The strategic objectives of the MIoD as developed in its new three year (2013-2016) strategic plan address the key challenges and critical issues which were identified asbull assuring the long term sustainability of the Institutebull establishing the legitimacy of the MIoDbull attracting non-Directors Associates and members from the Public Sector as well as seasoned Directors andbull maintaining existing Founders and Patrons and attracting new Patrons

2 Risk ManagementThe MIoD Risk Register is regularly updated and includes this year an ethics risk assessment completed in August 2012 a review of our members Code of Conduct and the introduction of a Whistleblowing Policy A Business Continuity Plan was also approved and now needs to be fully tested

Our current reliance on funding by Founders and Patrons was reviewed and a sector analysis undertaken to ensure we are not vulnerable to financial downturn in any one sector while continuing to seek new Patrons and assurances from current Founders and Patrons as to their continued support

Debtor management has been improved with the implementation last year of Pastel and by improved procedures this year

IT security is ensured by daily back up of accounts and key data and a full back up every 15 days is held off site

3 Integrated ReportThe Integrated Report produced for the first time this year is part of our objective to be a role model of good Corporate Governance and best practice The MIoD recognizes that it operates within a social and economic environment and that its long term interest is to conduct itself as a ldquoresponsible corporate citizenrdquo For its ecological footprint the MIoD has worked with ELIA - Ecological Living in Action the successful tenderer The approach used has been one of learning-by-doing to build the internal capacity of MIoD to develop its Integrated Report on an annual basis and to use it as a strategic tool for fostering leadership in corporate governance The Footprint Report for 20123 is available on our website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepage The MIoD is now working towards Level C GRI certification and will continue to improve its Integrated Reporting based on the feedback obtained from stakeholders and in line with best practice

4 Key Performance Indicators The strategic objectives are translated into Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) which are regularly monitored by the Board to ensure that the objectives of the MIoD are met The KPIs for 2012-3 were

5 Founders and Patrons

The generous contributions and support of our Founders and Patrons were publicly acknowledged by the MIoD during the 5th anniversary celebrations where commemorative certificates were presented to them

With that milestone came also the end of the 5 year agreement that was made with the original Founders and Patrons They have all been approached to seek their continuing support for the MIoDrsquos work and we are pleased to report that 90 have so far agreed to renew their support for another period of five years

The trust placed in the MIoD by our Founders and Patrons helps us to continue in our mission to champion best business practices and effective corporate governance supporting Mauritius as a regional leader and to be the voice of Directors through training and certification programmes workshops and networking events advocacy research and thought leadership reaching out to both private and public sector enterprises

Founders and patrons contributed 35 of our revenue

6 Membership

Membership has increased by 27 and is in line with our target We are forecasting continued growth with 200 new members per annum for the next 3 years We have not been as successful in attracting Associates compared to other categories of members and we are in the process of reviewing the benefits package for Associates as well as our communications strategy for this market segment

63 of our members are directors but we continue to focus on the recruitment and nurturing of aspiring directors and young professionals who will be the directors of tomorrow

Membership retention is 91 over the 5 year life of the MIoD 40 of the loss of membership is due to members moving overseas ill health or no longer being professionally active and 30 for non-payment of membership fees

New partners are added from time to time so please consult our website wwwmiodmu for updatesMembership fees and affinity revenues currently account for 15 of the total MIoD revenue

7 Directorsrsquo Register

The Directorsrsquo Register (the Register) was set up in 2011 to enable companies to find suitable independent directors for their boards It is made up of Members and Fellows of the MIoD who are senior executives or directors from cross sections of industries and professions This is a free service for members and allows them to promote themselves as a potential independent director to sit on the boards of other organisations There is a small fee for companies who wish to undertake a search but a free search is offered to our Founders or Patrons and to registered NGOs as part of our Corporate Social Responsibility

We currently have 136 members on the Register and are happy to report that the 21 director search requests were received during 2012-3 Since January 2013 the demand has increased substantially and we believe there will be a higher number of search requests in the future as boards diversify and continue to implement good governance best practices

As from 1 September 2013 all new Members and Fellows of the MIoD will automatically be added to the Register upon receiving their membership confirmation

8 Training and Education

Our recent membersrsquo survey shows that membersrsquo satisfaction is overall very high at 97 In our aim to be customer driven and responsive membersrsquo feedback is greatly valued and very useful for reviewing the services we offer

Our members have received a new Membership Card this year entitling them to discounts on products and services with a growing number of affinity partners which include

Training and education continues to be one of the key activities of the MIoD Our partnership with high profile international trainers coupled with local trainers and local experts has enabled us to deliver high quality training workshops with a very high satisfaction rate The MIoD has been approved as a Training Institute by the Mauritius Qualifications Authority All the MIoD workshops are MQA approved and qualify for HRDC refunds as well as Continuing Professional Development (CPD) units

We continue to work closely with the IFC Global Corporate Governance Forum (GCGF) and the Ethics Institute of South Africa whose materials we mainly use for all our workshops

During last year we have invited several high profile overseas guest speakers and facilitators including Prof Mervyn King Dr Teodorina Lessidrenska Linda de Beer Chris Pierce Phil Armstrong Mike Saunders Bert van Walbeek Maggie Gorse Guillermo Miranda Prof Deon Rossouw Alison Dillon Kibirige and Dr Graeme Codrington

We ran a 5 day Ethics Officer Certification Programme in collaboration with the Ethics Institute of South Africa for the 3rd consecutive year and have now trained over 30 Ethics Officers in Mauritius

Also this year in collaboration with the GCGF we ran a Training of Trainers workshop facilitated by Chris Pierce thus increasing our trainers and facilitators pool to 11

The MIoD also relies heavily on local expertise in all its workshops and again thanks are due to all those local presenters who have provided their collaboration the past year especially the members of the National Committee on Corporate Governance

9 Corporate Services

We have continued to diversify our activities and the MIoD is increasingly being asked to help with Board and Board Committee Appraisals Corporate Governance Reporting Corporate Governance Assessments Ethics Risk Assessments Code of Conduct Development and Ethics Management Consulting Our Information and Guidance services are also regularly consulted

The revenue derived from these activities has been incuded this year under training and education but will be accounted separately next year

10 Events

The MIoD held 4 members events in the last year including a networking event held at the Blue Penny Museum in Port Louis and another at the Maritim Hotel Balaclava

The Annual Membersrsquo Meeting was held on 26 September 2012 with Philip Armstrong Head of the IFC Global Corporate Governance Forum as guest speaker talking on the topic ldquoSelecting a Board ndash An Art or a Sciencerdquo

The MIoD also celebrated its 5th anniversary this year at Angsana Balaclava Mauritius The guest of honour for the event was the President of the Republic of Mauritius His Excellency Mr Rajkeswur Purryag GCSK GOSK The event was attended by over 125 members and guests

Our thanks go to Phoenix Beverages for their sponsorship of all these membersrsquo events

11 Communications Visibility and Brand Development

The MIoD continues to build our brand recognition and increase our visibility with regular PR and media coverage We have received extended coverage throughout the year of our workshops our overseas and local facilitators who have been

interviewed in the press as well as interviews with the Chairman and the CEO Retainer spend media coverage was above target at 16 as was Advertising Value Equivalency at 125

Our members have received regular communications from us on our workshops and events as well as our quarterly on line newsletters and our membersrsquo survey

During this year the MIoD has also increased its visibility and communications on social media especially LinkedIN Facebook and Twitter

12 Advocacy and Publications

The MIoD is more and more being recognised as a key stakeholder in the corporate governance arena both locally and regionally

On the international front the MIoD has spearheaded along with the IoDSA the setting up of an African Corporate Governance Network and is working with 12 Directors Organisations from various African countries (Kenya Malawi Morocco Mozambique Nigeria Senegal Tanzania Uganda Zambia Zimbabwe as well as Mauritius and South Africa) towards the official launch of the African Corporate Governance Network in Mauritius on 16 October 2013 2 meetings of the ACGN have been held so far the first in Johannesburg sponsored by Standard Bank and the second in Harare sponsored by ACCA and attended by the World Bank the IFC NEPAD Business Foundation and Ernst amp Young

14 People Processes Technology

We have this year taken on two new team members bringing the team to 6 including the CEO Rizwana Eathally joined us as Membership amp Marketing Officer in October 2012 and Tioumitra (Ambrish) Maharahaje joined us as Executive Secretary in March 2013 taking over as the MIoD Company Secretary as well as Executive Secretary of the Directors Forum and the Audit Committee Forum managing the Directorsrsquo Register and leading future research projects

Last year we upgraded our accounts system with Pastel and this has proved an invaluable investment This year we have undertaken to build a new interactive website and integrated CRM Both are nearly finalised and should be fully operational in September 2013

All our processes at the MIoD are continually evolving and being reviewed as we grow We have reviewed this year our Accounting Membership and Training Procedures as well as the management of our Members and Directorsrsquo Registers

15 Finances

Although our membership has increased substantially and continues to grow and our training programme and corporate services have expanded the MIOD continues to rely on the contributions of its Founders and Patrons These contributions enable membership of the MIoD attendance at its events and use of its services to be accessible to the maximum number of people by keeping our fees at an affordable level

Accumulated funds have been placed on fixed deposits with the Mauritius Post and Cooperative Bank this being renegotiated at regular intervals

The MIoD has again this year made a small surplus of Rs 353508 for the year which is above targeted results

16 The Coming YearThe MIoD has a new three year business plan and will continue to focus on membership growth particularly for Associate members but also membership from the public sector and from more seasoned directors During the coming year we will

be undertaking a branding exercise to evaluate our image and encouraging greater stakeholder engagement to ensure excellent customer service and responsiveness through an Annual Members Forum and Survey and by establishing MOUs with key regulators

Ensuring high quality training and education remains a key objective by continuing to provide an innovative and interesting training programme with our team of 11 local trainers and consultants as well as high level overseas facilitators In 20134 this will include a Thought Leadership Programme and we hope to work more closely with the public sector We will also introduce information and consulting services and set up a Research unit to undertake research into directorsrsquo remuneration business ethics and board practices in Mauritius

The Audit Committee Forum will also start to operate and build capacity and the Directors Forum will continue to establish itself as the voice of Directors

As part of our Corporate Social Responsibility we will continue to offer pro-bono Directors Searches and Corporate Governance and Skills training for registered NGOs

We will follow up on the improvement of our Ecological Footprint by focusing on the reduction of our use of paper plastic and improving the quality of the food served at our workshops

Our new website will be launched shortly along with our new Customer Relationship Management system and our presence on LinkedIn Twitter and Facebook will be reinforced

The highlight of the coming year will undoubtedly be the launch of the African Corporate Governance Network on 16 October and our International Conference being organised in collaboration with the IoDSA on 17 and 18 October on the theme ldquoAfrica Rising Governance for Sustainability the Road Map for Value Creationrdquo with a big line up of distinguished speakers led by Baroness Lynda Chalker

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT

1Compliance StatementIn accordance with its mission statement the Mauritius Institute of Directors (lsquoMIoDrsquo or the lsquoCompanyrsquo) is committed to applying the principles of good corporate governance in its operations Rather than adopting a lsquotick the boxrsquo approach to complying with the Code the MIoD has embedded the principles of the Code in its day to day operations

During the year the MIoD has complied with all material aspects of the principles of the Code Given that it has only six employees the Board considers that it functions effectively with only one Executive Director namely the CEO

2Corporate Details and Holding StructureIncorporated in Mauritius as a public company limited by guarantee on 11 February 2008 the MIoD is a non-profit organization engaged in the promotion of good corporate governance in Mauritius and training and development

The rights powers duties and obligations of the Company the Board each director and the members of the Company are governed by the Constitution of the Company and the Companies Act 2001

The constitution of the MIoD provides that inter alia21 every member irrespective of his class of membership including a person who has been a member at any time within 12 months from the effective date of the winding up of the Institute shall in the event of the Company having a deficit in disposable assets over its liabilities contribute a maximum of one hundred (100) Mauritian Rupees to the assets of the Company in the event of it being wound up22 the monies collected shall be applied for the payment of the debts and liabilities of the Company and the payment of the costs charges and expenses associated with the winding up the Company and23 the Directors are prohibited from making any form of distribution including distributing dividends returns of capital income or profits of the Company to the Members However the Company shall use any surplus funds in any year to pursue the goals set out in Article 5 of this Constitution

The full version of the constitution is available on the MIoD website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepage

3 The BoardFrom 1 June 2012 to 7 February 2013 the Board of the MIoD was comprised of 12 directors (6 male and 6 female) of whom 11 were independent directors and one was classified as an Executive Director namely the Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

A vacancy arose on the Board on 7 February 2013 when Mrs Aruna Collendavelloo stepped down as director of the Company As there was no urgent need to appoint a replacement and on the recommendation of the Nominations and Membership Committee it was resolved that such vacancy would be filled at the Annual Meeting of Members (AMM) scheduled on 25 September 2013

The profiles of the directors are set out on pages 7 to 9 of the report

Mr Deva Armoogum was appointed as Chairman of the Board by his fellow directors following the AMM held on 26 September 2012

For the year under review the Board considered its composition as adequately balanced and that the directors had the appropriate range of skills expertise and experience required to carry out their duties properly in order to serve the interests of all the stakeholders and provide effective corporate governance

The Constitution of the Company provides that with the exception of the Chief Executive Officer every other director shall be eligible for reappointment for a maximum of five consecutive years

In line with the Code all directors who meet the eligibility criteria stand for re-election at the AMM on the recommendation of the Nominations and Membership Committee

Messrs Deva Armoogum Georges Leung Shing and Mrs Danielle Lagesse having reached their term of office will not stand for re-election at the next AMM Mr Vaughan Heberden has also indicated that he will be stepping down at the next AMM The Nominations and Membership Committee has thus reviewed the skills competencies and experience required to enable the Board to function efficiently as well as the profile of the directors eligible for re-election Their contribution to board and committee meetings were also considered

Pursuant to such review the Nominations and Membership Committee has recommended that the following directors be considered for re-election at the Annual Meeting

1 James Benoit2 Ravin Lama3 Heba Jangeerkhan4 Patricia Day-Hookoomsing5 Catherine Dvorak6 Richard Wooding

As regards the five remaining vacancies on the Board the Committee has recommended that candidates with a background in the legal and accounting fields as well as in corporate governance matters be considered for election as director of the Company

A notice inviting members to apply for consideration as director of the Company was issued on 21 May 2013

On appointment to the Board new directors receive a comprehensive induction pack from the Company Secretary and the CEO and have informal meetings with the Chairman fellow Board members Nominations and Membership Committee the CEO and the employees of the MIoD The functions and responsibilities of the Chairman and CEO are separate

The Chairman and the CEO in collaboration with the Company Secretary agreed on the Board meeting calendar for the year and the Board meeting agendas in advance to ensure adequate coverage of key issues throughout the year Board packs are usually sent to the directors five days in advance

All directors have access to the Company Secretary and CEO to discuss issues or to obtain information on specific areas or items to be considered at Board meetings or any other area they consider appropriate Directors attend Board meetings unless exceptional circumstances prevent them from so doing

Furthermore the directors have the right to request independent professional advice at the expense of the Company The Board also invites third parties with relevant experience and expertise to attend board meetings as and when required

Besides Board meetings decisions are also taken through written Board resolutions as and when required

The attendance of directors at board and committee meetings is set out in the table on page 26

The profiles of the senior management team are set out at page 9 of the report

1 Report Content and Reporting ParametersThis report marks two significant milestones for the MIoD It is the MIoDrsquos first Integrated Report and it also marks the first time that the GRI framework has been adopted for sustainability reporting by the MIoD These milestones are timely and are squarely aligned with MIoDrsquos position in the market to promote corporate sustainability and to lead by exampleThe integrated report has adopted the G31 guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative and it reflects MIoDrsquos commitment to provide a transparent and fair review of its strategy performance and activities in 2012-3 to its stakeholders The triple bottom line reporting has endeavoured to provide an open and honest summary of the social economic and environmental impacts stemming from our activities and commitments practices objectives and performance results regarding the management of our impacts The report contains a combination of quantitative and qualitative impactsMIoD has also adopted a learning-by-doing approach to internalise integrated sustainability reporting as a strategic management tool To reflect this approach we have realised this report in the GRI Level C application with the view that MIoD will graduate progressively to higher level reporting over time It is understood that the learning-by-doing approach implies that the processes tools and methodologies applied to identify prioritise and validate report content and reporting parameters will evolve over time Nevertheless the processes tools and methodologies are systemic and have been applied systematically to allow year-on-year comparisons of MIoDrsquos performance This is even more so because MIoD is a relatively young organisation that holds a unique position vis-agrave-vis its stakeholdersWe have used GRI Reporting Standard principles in determining the scope of the report content structure and quality and data calculation and disclosure techniques The content of this report discloses MIoDrsquos performance for the period starting July 1 2012 and ending June 30 2013

2 Report Scope amp BoundaryThe activities of MIoD cover the geographical area of the Republic of Mauritius and most of these activities take place in the island of Mauritius The report boundary is therefore the activities of MIoD in Mauritius In addition to GRIrsquos Sustainability Reporting Guidelines (GRI 31) the report also follows the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for financial reporting and the Code of Corporate Governance of Mauritius 2004 Boundaries for non-financial data collection are consistent with our financial reporting thus aligning financial environmental and social reporting Since stakeholder inclusiveness is a cross-cutting issue in determining the content and scope of reporting we have attempted to take into consideration the expectations of our stakeholders as well as to quantify or qualify the impacts of our activities on their well-being including present and future considerations and to take remedial actions Our stakeholder engagement processes are discussed below

3 Determining Report ContentGuided by the G31 reporting guidelines and principles and technical protocol the following criteria have been observed in preparing this reportStakeholder inclusivenessStakeholder identification and engagement have been carried out using a combination of three methods namely (1) market knowledge by virtue of being the main organization mandated to foster the development of corporate governance at the level of Boards and upper management in Mauritius (2) value-chain analysis to establish the entire supply chain of MIoDrsquos services including the enabling environment and business providers and (3) on-going surveys with existing and potential members

The stakeholders of the MIoD are set out below

MIoD appreciates the benefits derived from stakeholder engagement and endeavours to maintain close proximity with key stakeholders We carry out membership surveys ethics risk assessments and on-going evaluations of our training programmes to identify and address issues that are relevant to our stakeholders and also to engage our stakeholders in assessing MIoDrsquos performance risks and opportunities For instance the following examples are pertinent

Sustainability ContextAs a leading organization promoting corporate sustainability we consider sustainability as an integral aspect of our decision-making process and of the way we do business on the economic social and environmental fronts This is important on two counts namely (1) the increasing awareness in the Mauritian public and private sector for mainstreaming the three pillars of sustainable development and (2) the recognition that corporate sustainability can be a significant comparative advantage and differentiation strategy It is worth mentioning here that MIoDrsquos Integrated Report is squarely aligned with the newly adopted Maurice Ile Durable (MID) Policy Strategy and Action Plan of Mauritius especially concerning lsquoenhancing the corporate environment social responsibility and accountabilityrsquo (wwwmidmu ndash accessed 12 July 2013) The sectorial MID Strategy for employmenteconomy specifically refers to the use of GRI as a benchmark for developing a Sustainability Index for publicly listed companies

CompletenessWe have ensured that all the material topics and indicators covered in this report reflect completely the significant economic environmental and social impacts of our activities and enable our stakeholders to assess our performance in 2012-3 effectively

BalanceWe have attempted to present an unbiased picture of our performance by avoiding selections omissions or presentation formats that are reasonably likely to unduly or inappropriately influence the readerrsquos decision or judgment The report provides both favourable and unfavourable results as well as results that can influence the decisions of stakeholders in proportion to their materiality This is a commitment to MIoDrsquos transparency

ComparabilitySince this is the first integrated sustainability report results present the baseline data and information against which comparative performance analysis will be carried out in the future

AccuracyThe different data in this report have been presented both on a qualitative and quantitative basis In any case we have ensured openness in measurements and qualitative analyses while bearing in mind that data would need to be verifiable While the non-financial components of the present report have not been subject to an independent third party audit the processes methodologies and tools for generating and analysing quantitative and qualitative data were adopted because they lend themselves to such audits Where applicable such as in the case of Ecological Footprint analysis discussed below error analysis is provided to deal with uncertainties in measurements

TimelinessThis report will be issued for the purpose of the Annual Meeting of Members on 25 September 2013 It will enable all our stakeholders to assess this report and provide us with relevant feedback for future reporting This open review process forms an integral part of the learning-by-doing approach

ClarityThis report has been presented in a manner that is understandable accessible and usable by our stakeholders As far as practicable graphics and data tables have been used to present information

ReliabilityInformation and processes used in the preparation of this report have been consistently gathered recorded compiled analysed and disclosed in a way that has been subject to constant examination by a competent internal team together with the help of an external consultancy firm with experience in integrated sustainability reporting using the GRI G31 Reporting Guidelines and Principles

MaterialityAccording to the GRI G31 Guidelines materiality has to be determined by considering the economic environmental and social impacts that cross a threshold in affecting the ability to

meet the needs of the present without compromising the needs of future generations Since the identification of thresholds is not trivial especially when considering long-term impacts or impacts where root causes and their effects are delocalised geographically and across different time horizons the methodology applied by MIoD to gauge materiality is evolving as it strives to better integrate sustainability across its entire spectrum of operations and services The underlying approach is to identify and prioritise those impacts that have a propensity to create preserve or erode economic environmental and social value for itself and its stakeholders In order to be methodological and systematic a combination of approaches has been used to determine materiality and the contents of this reportbull ThelegalrequirementsoftheRepublicofMauritiusInmanyinstances the operating legal framework prescribes minimum or allowable socio-economic and environmental impacts and these thresholds are usually identified because of their materialitybull Adoptionofathoroughriskmanagementprocessthatallowsus to assess and mitigate the impacts of our operations (and vice versa) beyond the financial imperative The risk management process also makes visible opportunities to better serve our stakeholdersbull Bykeepingacloseproximitywithourstakeholdersasexplained above under lsquoStakeholder Inclusivenessrsquobull IdentificationofinternalissuesthroughmeetingswithMIoDteam members as well as subscribing to continuous learning to better adhere to our policies values strategies targets and risk management processes andbull CarryingoutanEcologicalFootprintanalysisofouroperationsthat cover the impacts of the following (1) food (mainly provided by third parties during delivery of MIoD training) (2) consumables (3) utilities buildings and transport and (4) waste The first Ecological Footprint analysis was carried out for the calendar year 2012 (a copy of the report can be obtained from our website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepage) and its results and recommendations were approved by the MIoDrsquos Board of Directors on 5 December 2012 The time period for the Ecological Footprint analysis has been revised to match the reporting period July 2012-June 2013 and the Footprint updated The analysis has been used to quantify impacts identify impacts of most significance and provide a basis for taking remedial actions across the value chain as discussed in this report Ecological Footprint analysis has been adopted as one way to deal with the difficulties in establishing thresholds for sustainability impacts The Ecological Footprint analysis also captures the ecological impacts of services delivered (except for electricity and primary energy consumption) by third party venues during MIoD training

MIoDrsquos materiality framework is evolving We are confident that the results presented here are sufficiently robust to instil confidence in the quality of the report The integrated Sustainability Report should be read in conjunction with our online resources

Validation is currently essentially an internally orientated process with authorisation by the CEO and Executive Secretary and ultimate approval of the Integrated Report by the Board of Directors

Performance indicators have been chosen for reporting purposes based on three main factors1 Results of the Ecological Footprint Analysis2 Our ability or maturity to respond and3 The opportunity for MIoD to grow and gain advantage from the impacts

The calculation of Performance Indicators has followed the GRI Indicator Protocols GHG emissions arising from the use of electricity has been calculated from the Grid Emission Factor of Mauritius using the methodological tool 07 ndash ie ldquoTool to calculate the emission factor for an electricity system (Version 0300) - proposed by the Clean Development Mechanism for calculating the operating margin (httpcdmunfcccintmethodologiesPAmethodologiestoolsam-tool-07-v300pdf )rdquo GHG emissions arising from business-related air travel have been calculated using the official ICAO online calculator (httpwww2icaointencarbonoffsetPagesdefaultaspx)

4 Market Position41 Range of Ratios of Standard Entry Level Wage by Gender The MIoD does not differentiate salaries on the basis of gender nor do we have a standard entry wage level for employees Entry salaries are based on industry and market benchmarks the entrantrsquos educational level and relevant experience The Board Nominations Committee is responsible for reviewing and recommending to the Board any changes to employeesrsquo remuneration Employees are rewarded for their contribution to the Companyrsquos performance based on their performance against annual KPIs and the companyrsquos financial position

The MIoD employs 5 staff excluding the CEO ndash 3 female and 2 male The lowest male basic salary is Rs 28618 and the lowest female basic monthly salary is Rs 14478 There is no official minimum wage in Mauritius in our sector However as per the Ministry of Labour and the National Remuneration Order for Travel Agents and Tour Operators Workers a similar service sector the minimum wages prescribed for comparable jobs are as follows

bull SeniorAccountsClerkRs10306bull AdministrativeClerkRs8717

Mauritius Institute of Directors - IntegratedReport Mauritius Institute of Directors - IntegratedReport32 33

Based on this methodology the ratio of entry level wage by gender compared to local minimum wage for comparable jobs is 126 for male staff and 117 for female staff The apparent difference between the two ratios does not imply gender bias at MIoD since for any specific position a male or female employee would receive the same remuneration all else being equal

The MIoD is focused on continually developing a workforce that is dedicated motivated and well trained in order to assure the Institutersquos future development and growth as well as providing long term employment for individual employees

To achieve this goal the MIoD provides competitive compensation and certain social benefits to all employees while maintaining a positive work environment The MIoD is committed to providing a total compensation package that enables the Institute to attract and retain skilled employees for all positions A competitive total compensation package includes an effective salary and a benefits plan which aims tobull payafairbasicsalaryforthejobbybenchmarkingagainst similar jobs and similar organisations in Mauritius and taking into consideration internal equity specific job requirements and the skills knowledge and abilities of the employeebull providebasicbenefitsandbull recogniseindividualcontributionthroughtheperformance bonus system

The total compensation package also includes payment of a 13th month salary in line with Mauritian legislation which is normally paid in December and is calculated proportionately to the time of service during the year All employees receive a pay slip and salaries are paid on 26th of each month by standing order

42 Suppliers The MIoD has adopted a lsquoProcurement Policyrsquo to ensure that all procurement activities carried out by the MIoDbull provide best possible valuebull are conducted in a fair objective and transparent mannerbull are compliant with all relevant legislation and any other related policiesbull use best practice in the application of ethical standards andbull are consistent with the MIoDrsquos Vision Mission and Values

The choice of suppliers is influenced by the above mentioned objectives Although environmental benefits are considered as part of the procurement process with due consideration given to all relevant aspects of whole life-cycle costs of products the MIoD does not have a specific policy of preferring locally based suppliers

For some events and where a local capacity gap exists the MIoD has recourse to overseas facilitators to bring best practice to Mauritius

The MIoD intends to assess the geographical spread of its

procurement practices and report on the percentage of procurement budget which is spent on local suppliers in its next financial year At the same time the need to amend the procurement policy to promote local suppliers will also be considered

43 Recruitment Policy Under the Equal Opportunities Act 2008 (lsquoEOArsquo) an employer cannot discriminate against an employeeprospective employee on the basis of the following

The EOA also specifies that employers should be exclusively merit-oriented in their approach when it comes to selecting recruiting employing appraising promoting or dismissing an employee

Although the guidelines are not of a mandatory nature for the MIoD as it employs less than 10 employees on a full-time basis the MIoD is committed to a policy of equal opportunities

Its HR Policies amp Guidelines provides that no unlawful discrimination occurs in the recruitment and selection process on the grounds of race religion or belief colour sex age national origin disability or sexual orientation The MIoDrsquos HR Policy and Guidelines can be found on the website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepageAll employees are hired from the local community although this is not explicitly stated in our HR Policy and Guidelines

5 Environmental Performance51 MaterialsThe main consumable materials used by the MIoD are shown in this chart

52 Energy Consumption The only direct energy consumption relates to fossil fuel used in transportation by MIoD staff for work purposes This amounted to 94113 MJ for the reporting period Also the indirect energy used by MIoD relates to the consumption of electricity derived from the national electricity grid This was 10386 kWh electric for the reporting year ndash ie 11217 GJ thermal MIoD is not a producer of direct or indirect energiesInitiatives to reduce indirect energy consumption need to be investigated in the coming year This could for example include more energy-efficient lighting technologies A key constraint for the implementation of energy efficiency measures in office spaces is attributed to the fact that MIoD is only a tenant and such changes will have to be carried out by the building owner or manager

53 Water The MIoDrsquos consumption of water includes water delivered by the Central Water Authority water consumed from water fountains and bottled water for training workshops This was 26 m3year for the reporting period

54 Greenhouse Gas Emissions The total CO2 emissions of the MIoD has been estimated at 206 tonnes for the reporting period with direct and indirect emissions contributing 57 and 149 tonnes of CO2 respectively as follows bull IndirectemissionsofCO2 arose from the consumption of electricity and air travel This amounted to 107 tonnes and 42 tonnes of CO2 respectivelybull TotaldirectCO2 emissions related to land transport has been estimated at 57 tonnes of CO2 The estimation is based on the total distance travelled (km) during the reporting year an average fuel efficiency of 12 kmlitre of gasoline and the emission factor of motor gasoline

55 Waste All waste produced by MIoD and related to MIoD activities were sent to the landfill during the reporting period The main sources of waste were paper (350 kg or 035 tonnes) and plastic (37 kg or 0037 tonnes) By virtue of its activities MIoD does not deal with hazardous wastes of any kind

56 Mitigation of Environmental Impacts Following the Ecological Footprint Report undertaken in 2012 three areas were highlighted that needed attention

(i) food (mainly provided by third parties during delivery of MIoD trainings) (ii) consumables and(iii) waste management

In this respect the MIoD has undertaken in the financial year 2013-4 to bull workwithourkeythirdpartyfoodsupplierstoimprovethequality of the food offered during our training sessions especially taking into account the health problems in Mauritian society such as diabetes and to reduce our ecological footprint in this respect We have also engaged the advice of a nutritionistbull reducetheamountofplasticthatwepurchasebothinourownoffice but also through our third party suppliers In this respect we now have a water dispenser delivered to each training venue on the day of our training workshop to avoid the use of plastic bottles for our training sessions The next step is to work with our suppliers to encourage them to adopt this practicebull reducetheamountofpaperandinthisrespectwehaveagreedwith our Board Directors that effective August 2013 that we will no longer use paper but instead adopt appropriate laptop or tablet software for board papers During this year we will also undertake a complete review of our use of paper especially the printing of training manuals and see if we can fully or partially adopt alternative solutions to reduce our footprint The objective over time must be to become paperless We also intend to meet with the Registrar of Companies to lobby for the reduction in printing of Annual Reports and to allow shareholders to receive a soft copy and opt for a hard copy by exceptionbull ensurethatallouroldelectronicgoodssuchasprintersorcomputers are properly recycled using genuine recyclers andbull workwithourlandlordstointroducerecyclingbinsforallthetenants in our building Raffles Tower

57 Total Environmental Protection Expenditure and InvestmentTo date the MIoD has invested in consultancy services to help it calculate its Ecological Footprint and produce its first Integrated Report at a total cost of Rs 150000 The Ecological Footprint calculation is the benchmark for reducing our footprint in the future

6 Social61 Risks Related to Corruption An ethics risk assessment which also covered corruption risks was undertaken in 2011-2 The assessment covered all the activities of the MIoD Thereafter the MIoD Code of Conduct was reviewed and revised to address ethical conduct within the Company and by its members A Whistleblowing Policy has also been implemented The Ethics Risk Assessment Report and the MIoD Whistleblowing Policy can be found on the MIoD website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepage

be relevant Actual results may differ from these estimates

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in

the year in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that year or in the period of the revision and future periods if the

revision affects both current and future periods

Where applicable the notes to the financial statements set out areas where management has applied a higher degree of judgement

that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements or estimations and assumptions that have a

significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year

With regards to the nature of the Companyrsquos business there were no key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources

interest rates

If interest rates had been 50 basis points higherlower and all other variables were held constant the companyrsquos surplus for the year

ended30June2013wouldincreasedecreasebyRs44543(yearended30June2012increasedecreasebyRs33311)Thisismainly

attributable to the companyrsquos exposure to interest rates on its floating rate interest bearing asset The company does not have any

significant variable rate borrowings outstanding at year end

Liquidity risk management

The company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash and borrowing facilities by continuously monitoring forecast

and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities

Mauritius Institute of Directors - IntegratedReport Mauritius Institute of Directors - IntegratedReport10 11

On behalf of the Mauritius Institute of Directors (MIoD) I am pleased to make the following Statement to our members for the year ended 30 June 2013 OverviewGlobal economic prospects are slowly improving even though results are very mixed around the world

with the road to recovery in the advanced economies remaining bumpy according to the IMF while emerging market economies are doing well In 2013 after a weak first half real GDP growth in the advanced economies is projected to rise above 2 for the rest of the year and to average 225 in 2014 spurred by US growth of about 3 Most economies in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa and many economies in Latin America are now seeing higher growth Global growth is thus projected to continue to rise gradually

But there is no room for complacency given the strong interconnections between countries an uneven recovery is still a dangerous one While considerable progress has been made to improve financial regulation at both national and global levels the IMF recognises that there is still more to do to complete the regulatory reform agenda ldquoparticularly with regard to the too-big-to-fail problem nonbank financial institutions and shadow bankingrdquo

Our Mauritian economy has survived the turbulent past few years and is working hard at diversifying its exports and services away from the traditional European markets and increasingly towards Africa and Asia We have improved our ranking by 5 places to 19th position in the 2013 World Bank Ease of Doing Business and we continue to occupy the top place in Africa We have also held on to our No1 position in the Mo Ibrahim Index of African Governance However we have dropped 8 places in the Transparency International Corruption Perception Index in the last 2 years to 43rd place and the increasing number of scandals that have shaken our country in the last 12 months will not do much to remedy this perception unless we seriously start to address the issue of corruption More than ever we need good governance practices combined with effective leadership skills and underpinned by a strong ethical culture

At the MIoD we have been pleased to see this year the continued increased demand for membership and for our public workshops And the registered demand for in-house workshops testifies to the increasing interest Mauritian boards are paying to good corporate governance A growing number of companies are also leading the way by undertaking sustainability reporting corporate governance assessments ethics management board evaluations and family

governance initiatives More and more companies are using our Directorsrsquo Register to look for Independent Directors These are all very positive signs and bode well for the future

The publication of the Bank of Mauritius Corporate Governance Guideline as well as the FSCrsquos Circular Letter reminding directors of their duties and giving guidance on what would be considered as a reasonable number of directorships are all welcome initiatives to the Corporate Governance regulatory and compliance framework in Mauritius But they are also indications that our National Code of Corporate Governance (the Code) is fast being overtaken The MIoD therefore continues to support the view of the National Committee on Corporate Governance (NCCG) that a revision of the Code of Corporate Governance is well overdue The Code was written in 2003 and in the last 10 years the world has been rocked by a huge financial crisis Global standards and best practices in good governance have moved on and if we wish to maintain our position as regional leaders in Corporate Governance we need to update the Code Furthermore the recent amendments to the Financial Reporting Act while strengthening the enforcement of compliance to the Code nonetheless reveal inconsistencies as well as difficulties in applying the Code effectively We therefore appeal to the Minister of Finance to undertake this exercise as soon as possible

StrategyDuring the year the board undertook a review of our Vision Mission and Strategy The key challenges facing the Institute namely its long term sustainability establishing its legitimacy increasing its membership by attracting more young professionals public sector executives as well as seasoned Directors and maintaining funding from our existing Founders and Patrons were addressed in two half day off sites in November 2012 The outcome was our new Vision Mission and Strategy reflected in our latest 3 year Business Plan for 2013-2016 Our strategy will ensure that webull respondtoourmembersrsquoneedsandprovideclearbenefits for each categorybull remainrelevantthroughregularstakeholderengagementbull ensureweareaccessibleandaffordablebull nurturethenextgenerationofdirectorsbull widenthescopeofourservicesbeyondcorporate governancebull differentiatetheMIoDfromotherprofessional organisations through our area of focus and specialisation ndash corporate governance best business practices leadership and professional developmentbull maintainthequalityandsustainedfocusofourtraining and educationbull arearolemodelandthereferencepointforcorporate governance and best business practicesbull becomeacredibleandrecognisedvoiceforDirectorsandbull supportMauritiusasaregionalleader

CHAIRMANrsquoS STATEMENT

Initiatives and HighlightsOne of the key highlights of the year was undoubtedly celebrating our 5th Anniversary with our members and sponsors at Angsana Balaclava on 17th May 2013 with our guest of honour the President of the Republic of Mauritius This was also the opportunity for the MIoD to recognise the role of the National Committee on Corporate Governance in initiating the creation of an Institute of Directors in Mauritius Over the years the NCCG has continued to support the MIoD by collaborating on workshops conferences and future research

The MIoDlsquos key role at the forefront of good corporate governance is to develop better informed and more effective directors In the past year the MIoD has continued to provide practical guidance and a better understanding of the various aspects of corporate governance by helping directors improve their knowledge and skills We have invited several high profile overseas guest speakers and facilitators including Prof Mervyn King Dr Teodorina Lessidrenska Linda de Beer Chris Pierce Phil Armstrong Mike Saunders Bert van Walbeek Maggie Gorse Guillermo Miranda Prof Deon Rossouw Alison Dillon Kibirige and Dr Graeme Codrington

Throughout the year we have also benefited from the expertise of our team of local trainers and facilitators as well as many local experts whom I would like to thank whole heartedly for their support

We have renewed our successful collaboration with the Ethics Institute of South Africa (EthicsSA) and take this opportunity to thank them and the IFC Global Corporate Governance Forum for the use of their training materials as well as for their invaluable support

We have increased our range of corporate services this year to includebull InHouseTrainingbull BoardAppraisalsbull CorporateGovernanceAssessmentsbull EthicsRiskAssessmentsbull CodeofConductDevelopmentbull EthicsOfficerTrainingandCertificationandbull EthicsManagementConsultingandTraining

The last year has seen some significant new initiatives at the MIoD The Directors Forum is gradually establishing its role as an Advisory Council to the MIoD focusing on Directorsrsquo issues and through the Forumrsquos expertise and representation providing guidance on key issues of governance and directorship in Mauritius In September 2012 the Forum launched its first publication Best Practice Guidelines for the Appointment of Directors The Directors Forum is currently working on its next publication an Ethics Guide for Boards which should be launched in September 2013 The Forum also has a sub-committee dedicated to the public sector We take this opportunity to thank all those who serve pro-bono on

the Directors Forum for their commitment to the cause of good corporate governance and better boards

The MIoD also undertook to measure its Ecological Footprint and as result will look at how we can reduce our footprint in the coming years In addition the Board as part of our strategy to be a model of corporate governance has decided that this yearrsquos Annual Report should be an Integrated Report with two new sections ndash a Sustainability Report and a Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Content Index We hope this will encourage other companies in Mauritius to follow this initiative In the medium to long term the objective is to positively influence all our stakeholders The Sustainability Report proposes concrete actions that will be carried out in the 2013-4 financial year demonstrating MIoDrsquos commitment to internalise sustainability practices in its operations and those of its valued stakeholders In order to support Mauritius as a regional leader the MIoD in collaboration with the Institute of Directors Southern Africa (IoDSA) has been spearheading the setting up of an African Corporate Governance Network (ACGN) With the current focus on growth and development in Africa good corporate governance and capacity building in this area is highly important 12 Institutes from across Africa have come together and the ACGN will be formally launched on 16 October 2013 in Mauritius

The year ahead brings some other exciting events and initiatives including our 2nd International Conference on 17 and 18 October 2013 this time in collaboration with IODSA on the theme ldquoAfricaRising Corporate Governance for Sustainability The Road Map for Value Creation rdquo We have invited a distinguished list of international speakers and we see this Conference as an opportunity to promote Mauritius as the gateway to Africa and as a regional leader in the global governance landscape

In the coming year we will also be launching the Audit Committee Forum recognising the key role that audit committees play in ensuring good Corporate Governance and as a way of providing audit committee members and other directors with a resource to help them to keep up-to-date on current and emerging issues

Continued GrowthThe MIoD remains a private independent not-for-profit membership organisation regulated by the Companies Act We depend on membership and our membership growth continues on target testifying to the interest in our activities The Institute is made up of individual members whom we are here to serve We thank you for your continued support

We have however been less successful this last year in attracting young professionals whom we see as the future directors of tomorrow and this will be a focus for us to work on in the coming year reviewing our image and benefits for this category of member

DIRECTORSrsquo REPORT

1 Our StrategyIn the light of the strategic planning sessions held by the Board in November 2012 the vision and mission of the MIoD were reviewed in line with our values and updated to take into account feedback from the stakeholders of the MIoD

New Vision and MissionOur Vision is to be the preferred professional organisation for directors and aspiring directors as well as business leaders and Our Mission is to champion best business practices and effective corporate governance supporting Mauritius as a regional leader and to be the voice of Directors through training and certification programmes workshops and networking events advocacy research and thought leadership reaching out to both private and public sector enterprises

The strategic objectives of the MIoD as developed in its new three year (2013-2016) strategic plan address the key challenges and critical issues which were identified asbull assuring the long term sustainability of the Institutebull establishing the legitimacy of the MIoDbull attracting non-Directors Associates and members from the Public Sector as well as seasoned Directors andbull maintaining existing Founders and Patrons and attracting new Patrons

2 Risk ManagementThe MIoD Risk Register is regularly updated and includes this year an ethics risk assessment completed in August 2012 a review of our members Code of Conduct and the introduction of a Whistleblowing Policy A Business Continuity Plan was also approved and now needs to be fully tested

Our current reliance on funding by Founders and Patrons was reviewed and a sector analysis undertaken to ensure we are not vulnerable to financial downturn in any one sector while continuing to seek new Patrons and assurances from current Founders and Patrons as to their continued support

Debtor management has been improved with the implementation last year of Pastel and by improved procedures this year

IT security is ensured by daily back up of accounts and key data and a full back up every 15 days is held off site

3 Integrated ReportThe Integrated Report produced for the first time this year is part of our objective to be a role model of good Corporate Governance and best practice The MIoD recognizes that it operates within a social and economic environment and that its long term interest is to conduct itself as a ldquoresponsible corporate citizenrdquo For its ecological footprint the MIoD has worked with ELIA - Ecological Living in Action the successful tenderer The approach used has been one of learning-by-doing to build the internal capacity of MIoD to develop its Integrated Report on an annual basis and to use it as a strategic tool for fostering leadership in corporate governance The Footprint Report for 20123 is available on our website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepage The MIoD is now working towards Level C GRI certification and will continue to improve its Integrated Reporting based on the feedback obtained from stakeholders and in line with best practice

5 Founders and Patrons

The generous contributions and support of our Founders and Patrons were publicly acknowledged by the MIoD during the 5th anniversary celebrations where commemorative certificates were presented to them

With that milestone came also the end of the 5 year agreement that was made with the original Founders and Patrons They have all been approached to seek their continuing support for the MIoDrsquos work and we are pleased to report that 90 have so far agreed to renew their support for another period of five years

The trust placed in the MIoD by our Founders and Patrons helps us to continue in our mission to champion best business practices and effective corporate governance supporting Mauritius as a regional leader and to be the voice of Directors through training and certification programmes workshops and networking events advocacy research and thought leadership reaching out to both private and public sector enterprises

Founders and patrons contributed 35 of our revenue

6 Membership

Membership has increased by 27 and is in line with our target We are forecasting continued growth with 200 new members per annum for the next 3 years We have not been as successful in attracting Associates compared to other categories of members and we are in the process of reviewing the benefits package for Associates as well as our communications strategy for this market segment

63 of our members are directors but we continue to focus on the recruitment and nurturing of aspiring directors and young professionals who will be the directors of tomorrow

Membership retention is 91 over the 5 year life of the MIoD 40 of the loss of membership is due to members moving overseas ill health or no longer being professionally active and 30 for non-payment of membership fees

New partners are added from time to time so please consult our website wwwmiodmu for updatesMembership fees and affinity revenues currently account for 15 of the total MIoD revenue

7 Directorsrsquo Register

The Directorsrsquo Register (the Register) was set up in 2011 to enable companies to find suitable independent directors for their boards It is made up of Members and Fellows of the MIoD who are senior executives or directors from cross sections of industries and professions This is a free service for members and allows them to promote themselves as a potential independent director to sit on the boards of other organisations There is a small fee for companies who wish to undertake a search but a free search is offered to our Founders or Patrons and to registered NGOs as part of our Corporate Social Responsibility

We currently have 136 members on the Register and are happy to report that the 21 director search requests were received during 2012-3 Since January 2013 the demand has increased substantially and we believe there will be a higher number of search requests in the future as boards diversify and continue to implement good governance best practices

As from 1 September 2013 all new Members and Fellows of the MIoD will automatically be added to the Register upon receiving their membership confirmation

8 Training and Education

Our recent membersrsquo survey shows that membersrsquo satisfaction is overall very high at 97 In our aim to be customer driven and responsive membersrsquo feedback is greatly valued and very useful for reviewing the services we offer

Our members have received a new Membership Card this year entitling them to discounts on products and services with a growing number of affinity partners which include

Training and education continues to be one of the key activities of the MIoD Our partnership with high profile international trainers coupled with local trainers and local experts has enabled us to deliver high quality training workshops with a very high satisfaction rate The MIoD has been approved as a Training Institute by the Mauritius Qualifications Authority All the MIoD workshops are MQA approved and qualify for HRDC refunds as well as Continuing Professional Development (CPD) units

We continue to work closely with the IFC Global Corporate Governance Forum (GCGF) and the Ethics Institute of South Africa whose materials we mainly use for all our workshops

During last year we have invited several high profile overseas guest speakers and facilitators including Prof Mervyn King Dr Teodorina Lessidrenska Linda de Beer Chris Pierce Phil Armstrong Mike Saunders Bert van Walbeek Maggie Gorse Guillermo Miranda Prof Deon Rossouw Alison Dillon Kibirige and Dr Graeme Codrington

We ran a 5 day Ethics Officer Certification Programme in collaboration with the Ethics Institute of South Africa for the 3rd consecutive year and have now trained over 30 Ethics Officers in Mauritius

Also this year in collaboration with the GCGF we ran a Training of Trainers workshop facilitated by Chris Pierce thus increasing our trainers and facilitators pool to 11

The MIoD also relies heavily on local expertise in all its workshops and again thanks are due to all those local presenters who have provided their collaboration the past year especially the members of the National Committee on Corporate Governance

9 Corporate Services

We have continued to diversify our activities and the MIoD is increasingly being asked to help with Board and Board Committee Appraisals Corporate Governance Reporting Corporate Governance Assessments Ethics Risk Assessments Code of Conduct Development and Ethics Management Consulting Our Information and Guidance services are also regularly consulted

The revenue derived from these activities has been incuded this year under training and education but will be accounted separately next year

10 Events

The MIoD held 4 members events in the last year including a networking event held at the Blue Penny Museum in Port Louis and another at the Maritim Hotel Balaclava

The Annual Membersrsquo Meeting was held on 26 September 2012 with Philip Armstrong Head of the IFC Global Corporate Governance Forum as guest speaker talking on the topic ldquoSelecting a Board ndash An Art or a Sciencerdquo

14 People Processes Technology

We have this year taken on two new team members bringing the team to 6 including the CEO Rizwana Eathally joined us as Membership amp Marketing Officer in October 2012 and Tioumitra (Ambrish) Maharahaje joined us as Executive Secretary in March 2013 taking over as the MIoD Company Secretary as well as Executive Secretary of the Directors Forum and the Audit Committee Forum managing the Directorsrsquo Register and leading future research projects

Last year we upgraded our accounts system with Pastel and this has proved an invaluable investment This year we have undertaken to build a new interactive website and integrated CRM Both are nearly finalised and should be fully operational in September 2013

All our processes at the MIoD are continually evolving and being reviewed as we grow We have reviewed this year our Accounting Membership and Training Procedures as well as the management of our Members and Directorsrsquo Registers

15 Finances

Although our membership has increased substantially and continues to grow and our training programme and corporate services have expanded the MIOD continues to rely on the contributions of its Founders and Patrons These contributions enable membership of the MIoD attendance at its events and use of its services to be accessible to the maximum number of people by keeping our fees at an affordable level

Accumulated funds have been placed on fixed deposits with the Mauritius Post and Cooperative Bank this being renegotiated at regular intervals

The MIoD has again this year made a small surplus of Rs 353508 for the year which is above targeted results

16 The Coming YearThe MIoD has a new three year business plan and will continue to focus on membership growth particularly for Associate members but also membership from the public sector and from more seasoned directors During the coming year we will

be undertaking a branding exercise to evaluate our image and encouraging greater stakeholder engagement to ensure excellent customer service and responsiveness through an Annual Members Forum and Survey and by establishing MOUs with key regulators

Ensuring high quality training and education remains a key objective by continuing to provide an innovative and interesting training programme with our team of 11 local trainers and consultants as well as high level overseas facilitators In 20134 this will include a Thought Leadership Programme and we hope to work more closely with the public sector We will also introduce information and consulting services and set up a Research unit to undertake research into directorsrsquo remuneration business ethics and board practices in Mauritius

The Audit Committee Forum will also start to operate and build capacity and the Directors Forum will continue to establish itself as the voice of Directors

As part of our Corporate Social Responsibility we will continue to offer pro-bono Directors Searches and Corporate Governance and Skills training for registered NGOs

We will follow up on the improvement of our Ecological Footprint by focusing on the reduction of our use of paper plastic and improving the quality of the food served at our workshops

Our new website will be launched shortly along with our new Customer Relationship Management system and our presence on LinkedIn Twitter and Facebook will be reinforced

The highlight of the coming year will undoubtedly be the launch of the African Corporate Governance Network on 16 October and our International Conference being organised in collaboration with the IoDSA on 17 and 18 October on the theme ldquoAfrica Rising Governance for Sustainability the Road Map for Value Creationrdquo with a big line up of distinguished speakers led by Baroness Lynda Chalker

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT

1Compliance StatementIn accordance with its mission statement the Mauritius Institute of Directors (lsquoMIoDrsquo or the lsquoCompanyrsquo) is committed to applying the principles of good corporate governance in its operations Rather than adopting a lsquotick the boxrsquo approach to complying with the Code the MIoD has embedded the principles of the Code in its day to day operations

During the year the MIoD has complied with all material aspects of the principles of the Code Given that it has only six employees the Board considers that it functions effectively with only one Executive Director namely the CEO

2Corporate Details and Holding StructureIncorporated in Mauritius as a public company limited by guarantee on 11 February 2008 the MIoD is a non-profit organization engaged in the promotion of good corporate governance in Mauritius and training and development

The rights powers duties and obligations of the Company the Board each director and the members of the Company are governed by the Constitution of the Company and the Companies Act 2001

The constitution of the MIoD provides that inter alia21 every member irrespective of his class of membership including a person who has been a member at any time within 12 months from the effective date of the winding up of the Institute shall in the event of the Company having a deficit in disposable assets over its liabilities contribute a maximum of one hundred (100) Mauritian Rupees to the assets of the Company in the event of it being wound up22 the monies collected shall be applied for the payment of the debts and liabilities of the Company and the payment of the costs charges and expenses associated with the winding up the Company and23 the Directors are prohibited from making any form of distribution including distributing dividends returns of capital income or profits of the Company to the Members However the Company shall use any surplus funds in any year to pursue the goals set out in Article 5 of this Constitution

The full version of the constitution is available on the MIoD website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepage

3 The BoardFrom 1 June 2012 to 7 February 2013 the Board of the MIoD was comprised of 12 directors (6 male and 6 female) of whom 11 were independent directors and one was classified as an Executive Director namely the Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

A vacancy arose on the Board on 7 February 2013 when Mrs Aruna Collendavelloo stepped down as director of the Company As there was no urgent need to appoint a replacement and on the recommendation of the Nominations and Membership Committee it was resolved that such vacancy would be filled at the Annual Meeting of Members (AMM) scheduled on 25 September 2013

The profiles of the directors are set out on pages 7 to 9 of the report

Mr Deva Armoogum was appointed as Chairman of the Board by his fellow directors following the AMM held on 26 September 2012

For the year under review the Board considered its composition as adequately balanced and that the directors had the appropriate range of skills expertise and experience required to carry out their duties properly in order to serve the interests of all the stakeholders and provide effective corporate governance

The Constitution of the Company provides that with the exception of the Chief Executive Officer every other director shall be eligible for reappointment for a maximum of five consecutive years

In line with the Code all directors who meet the eligibility criteria stand for re-election at the AMM on the recommendation of the Nominations and Membership Committee

Messrs Deva Armoogum Georges Leung Shing and Mrs Danielle Lagesse having reached their term of office will not stand for re-election at the next AMM Mr Vaughan Heberden has also indicated that he will be stepping down at the next AMM The Nominations and Membership Committee has thus reviewed the skills competencies and experience required to enable the Board to function efficiently as well as the profile of the directors eligible for re-election Their contribution to board and committee meetings were also considered

Pursuant to such review the Nominations and Membership Committee has recommended that the following directors be considered for re-election at the Annual Meeting

1 James Benoit2 Ravin Lama3 Heba Jangeerkhan4 Patricia Day-Hookoomsing5 Catherine Dvorak6 Richard Wooding

As regards the five remaining vacancies on the Board the Committee has recommended that candidates with a background in the legal and accounting fields as well as in corporate governance matters be considered for election as director of the Company

A notice inviting members to apply for consideration as director of the Company was issued on 21 May 2013

On appointment to the Board new directors receive a comprehensive induction pack from the Company Secretary and the CEO and have informal meetings with the Chairman fellow Board members Nominations and Membership Committee the CEO and the employees of the MIoD The functions and responsibilities of the Chairman and CEO are separate

The Chairman and the CEO in collaboration with the Company Secretary agreed on the Board meeting calendar for the year and the Board meeting agendas in advance to ensure adequate coverage of key issues throughout the year Board packs are usually sent to the directors five days in advance

All directors have access to the Company Secretary and CEO to discuss issues or to obtain information on specific areas or items to be considered at Board meetings or any other area they consider appropriate Directors attend Board meetings unless exceptional circumstances prevent them from so doing

1 Report Content and Reporting ParametersThis report marks two significant milestones for the MIoD It is the MIoDrsquos first Integrated Report and it also marks the first time that the GRI framework has been adopted for sustainability reporting by the MIoD These milestones are timely and are squarely aligned with MIoDrsquos position in the market to promote corporate sustainability and to lead by exampleThe integrated report has adopted the G31 guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative and it reflects MIoDrsquos commitment to provide a transparent and fair review of its strategy performance and activities in 2012-3 to its stakeholders The triple bottom line reporting has endeavoured to provide an open and honest summary of the social economic and environmental impacts stemming from our activities and commitments practices objectives and performance results regarding the management of our impacts The report contains a combination of quantitative and qualitative impactsMIoD has also adopted a learning-by-doing approach to internalise integrated sustainability reporting as a strategic management tool To reflect this approach we have realised this report in the GRI Level C application with the view that MIoD will graduate progressively to higher level reporting over time It is understood that the learning-by-doing approach implies that the processes tools and methodologies applied to identify prioritise and validate report content and reporting parameters will evolve over time Nevertheless the processes tools and methodologies are systemic and have been applied systematically to allow year-on-year comparisons of MIoDrsquos performance This is even more so because MIoD is a relatively young organisation that holds a unique position vis-agrave-vis its stakeholdersWe have used GRI Reporting Standard principles in determining the scope of the report content structure and quality and data calculation and disclosure techniques The content of this report discloses MIoDrsquos performance for the period starting July 1 2012 and ending June 30 2013

2 Report Scope amp BoundaryThe activities of MIoD cover the geographical area of the Republic of Mauritius and most of these activities take place in the island of Mauritius The report boundary is therefore the activities of MIoD in Mauritius In addition to GRIrsquos Sustainability Reporting Guidelines (GRI 31) the report also follows the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for financial reporting and the Code of Corporate Governance of Mauritius 2004 Boundaries for non-financial data collection are consistent with our financial reporting thus aligning financial environmental and social reporting Since stakeholder inclusiveness is a cross-cutting issue in determining the content and scope of reporting we have attempted to take into consideration the expectations of our stakeholders as well as to quantify or qualify the impacts of our activities on their well-being including present and future considerations and to take remedial actions Our stakeholder engagement processes are discussed below

3 Determining Report ContentGuided by the G31 reporting guidelines and principles and technical protocol the following criteria have been observed in preparing this reportStakeholder inclusivenessStakeholder identification and engagement have been carried out using a combination of three methods namely (1) market knowledge by virtue of being the main organization mandated to foster the development of corporate governance at the level of Boards and upper management in Mauritius (2) value-chain analysis to establish the entire supply chain of MIoDrsquos services including the enabling environment and business providers and (3) on-going surveys with existing and potential members

The stakeholders of the MIoD are set out below

MIoD appreciates the benefits derived from stakeholder engagement and endeavours to maintain close proximity with key stakeholders We carry out membership surveys ethics risk assessments and on-going evaluations of our training programmes to identify and address issues that are relevant to our stakeholders and also to engage our stakeholders in assessing MIoDrsquos performance risks and opportunities For instance the following examples are pertinent

Sustainability ContextAs a leading organization promoting corporate sustainability we consider sustainability as an integral aspect of our decision-making process and of the way we do business on the economic social and environmental fronts This is important on two counts namely (1) the increasing awareness in the Mauritian public and private sector for mainstreaming the three pillars of sustainable development and (2) the recognition that corporate sustainability can be a significant comparative advantage and differentiation strategy It is worth mentioning here that MIoDrsquos Integrated Report is squarely aligned with the newly adopted Maurice Ile Durable (MID) Policy Strategy and Action Plan of Mauritius especially concerning lsquoenhancing the corporate environment social responsibility and accountabilityrsquo (wwwmidmu ndash accessed 12 July 2013) The sectorial MID Strategy for employmenteconomy specifically refers to the use of GRI as a benchmark for developing a Sustainability Index for publicly listed companies

CompletenessWe have ensured that all the material topics and indicators covered in this report reflect completely the significant economic environmental and social impacts of our activities and enable our stakeholders to assess our performance in 2012-3 effectively

BalanceWe have attempted to present an unbiased picture of our performance by avoiding selections omissions or presentation formats that are reasonably likely to unduly or inappropriately influence the readerrsquos decision or judgment The report provides both favourable and unfavourable results as well as results that can influence the decisions of stakeholders in proportion to their materiality This is a commitment to MIoDrsquos transparency

ComparabilitySince this is the first integrated sustainability report results present the baseline data and information against which comparative performance analysis will be carried out in the future

AccuracyThe different data in this report have been presented both on a qualitative and quantitative basis In any case we have ensured openness in measurements and qualitative analyses while bearing in mind that data would need to be verifiable While the non-financial components of the present report have not been subject to an independent third party audit the processes methodologies and tools for generating and analysing quantitative and qualitative data were adopted because they lend themselves to such audits Where applicable such as in the case of Ecological Footprint analysis discussed below error analysis is provided to deal with uncertainties in measurements

TimelinessThis report will be issued for the purpose of the Annual Meeting of Members on 25 September 2013 It will enable all our stakeholders to assess this report and provide us with relevant feedback for future reporting This open review process forms an integral part of the learning-by-doing approach

ClarityThis report has been presented in a manner that is understandable accessible and usable by our stakeholders As far as practicable graphics and data tables have been used to present information

ReliabilityInformation and processes used in the preparation of this report have been consistently gathered recorded compiled analysed and disclosed in a way that has been subject to constant examination by a competent internal team together with the help of an external consultancy firm with experience in integrated sustainability reporting using the GRI G31 Reporting Guidelines and Principles

MaterialityAccording to the GRI G31 Guidelines materiality has to be determined by considering the economic environmental and social impacts that cross a threshold in affecting the ability to

meet the needs of the present without compromising the needs of future generations Since the identification of thresholds is not trivial especially when considering long-term impacts or impacts where root causes and their effects are delocalised geographically and across different time horizons the methodology applied by MIoD to gauge materiality is evolving as it strives to better integrate sustainability across its entire spectrum of operations and services The underlying approach is to identify and prioritise those impacts that have a propensity to create preserve or erode economic environmental and social value for itself and its stakeholders In order to be methodological and systematic a combination of approaches has been used to determine materiality and the contents of this reportbull ThelegalrequirementsoftheRepublicofMauritiusInmanyinstances the operating legal framework prescribes minimum or allowable socio-economic and environmental impacts and these thresholds are usually identified because of their materialitybull Adoptionofathoroughriskmanagementprocessthatallowsus to assess and mitigate the impacts of our operations (and vice versa) beyond the financial imperative The risk management process also makes visible opportunities to better serve our stakeholdersbull Bykeepingacloseproximitywithourstakeholdersasexplained above under lsquoStakeholder Inclusivenessrsquobull IdentificationofinternalissuesthroughmeetingswithMIoDteam members as well as subscribing to continuous learning to better adhere to our policies values strategies targets and risk management processes andbull CarryingoutanEcologicalFootprintanalysisofouroperationsthat cover the impacts of the following (1) food (mainly provided by third parties during delivery of MIoD training) (2) consumables (3) utilities buildings and transport and (4) waste The first Ecological Footprint analysis was carried out for the calendar year 2012 (a copy of the report can be obtained from our website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepage) and its results and recommendations were approved by the MIoDrsquos Board of Directors on 5 December 2012 The time period for the Ecological Footprint analysis has been revised to match the reporting period July 2012-June 2013 and the Footprint updated The analysis has been used to quantify impacts identify impacts of most significance and provide a basis for taking remedial actions across the value chain as discussed in this report Ecological Footprint analysis has been adopted as one way to deal with the difficulties in establishing thresholds for sustainability impacts The Ecological Footprint analysis also captures the ecological impacts of services delivered (except for electricity and primary energy consumption) by third party venues during MIoD training

MIoDrsquos materiality framework is evolving We are confident that the results presented here are sufficiently robust to instil confidence in the quality of the report The integrated Sustainability Report should be read in conjunction with our online resources

Validation is currently essentially an internally orientated process with authorisation by the CEO and Executive Secretary and ultimate approval of the Integrated Report by the Board of Directors

Performance indicators have been chosen for reporting purposes based on three main factors1 Results of the Ecological Footprint Analysis2 Our ability or maturity to respond and3 The opportunity for MIoD to grow and gain advantage from the impacts

The calculation of Performance Indicators has followed the GRI Indicator Protocols GHG emissions arising from the use of electricity has been calculated from the Grid Emission Factor of Mauritius using the methodological tool 07 ndash ie ldquoTool to calculate the emission factor for an electricity system (Version 0300) - proposed by the Clean Development Mechanism for calculating the operating margin (httpcdmunfcccintmethodologiesPAmethodologiestoolsam-tool-07-v300pdf )rdquo GHG emissions arising from business-related air travel have been calculated using the official ICAO online calculator (httpwww2icaointencarbonoffsetPagesdefaultaspx)

4 Market Position41 Range of Ratios of Standard Entry Level Wage by Gender The MIoD does not differentiate salaries on the basis of gender nor do we have a standard entry wage level for employees Entry salaries are based on industry and market benchmarks the entrantrsquos educational level and relevant experience The Board Nominations Committee is responsible for reviewing and recommending to the Board any changes to employeesrsquo remuneration Employees are rewarded for their contribution to the Companyrsquos performance based on their performance against annual KPIs and the companyrsquos financial position

The MIoD employs 5 staff excluding the CEO ndash 3 female and 2 male The lowest male basic salary is Rs 28618 and the lowest female basic monthly salary is Rs 14478 There is no official minimum wage in Mauritius in our sector However as per the Ministry of Labour and the National Remuneration Order for Travel Agents and Tour Operators Workers a similar service sector the minimum wages prescribed for comparable jobs are as follows

bull SeniorAccountsClerkRs10306bull AdministrativeClerkRs8717

Mauritius Institute of Directors - IntegratedReport Mauritius Institute of Directors - IntegratedReport32 33

Based on this methodology the ratio of entry level wage by gender compared to local minimum wage for comparable jobs is 126 for male staff and 117 for female staff The apparent difference between the two ratios does not imply gender bias at MIoD since for any specific position a male or female employee would receive the same remuneration all else being equal

The MIoD is focused on continually developing a workforce that is dedicated motivated and well trained in order to assure the Institutersquos future development and growth as well as providing long term employment for individual employees

To achieve this goal the MIoD provides competitive compensation and certain social benefits to all employees while maintaining a positive work environment The MIoD is committed to providing a total compensation package that enables the Institute to attract and retain skilled employees for all positions A competitive total compensation package includes an effective salary and a benefits plan which aims tobull payafairbasicsalaryforthejobbybenchmarkingagainst similar jobs and similar organisations in Mauritius and taking into consideration internal equity specific job requirements and the skills knowledge and abilities of the employeebull providebasicbenefitsandbull recogniseindividualcontributionthroughtheperformance bonus system

The total compensation package also includes payment of a 13th month salary in line with Mauritian legislation which is normally paid in December and is calculated proportionately to the time of service during the year All employees receive a pay slip and salaries are paid on 26th of each month by standing order

42 Suppliers The MIoD has adopted a lsquoProcurement Policyrsquo to ensure that all procurement activities carried out by the MIoDbull provide best possible valuebull are conducted in a fair objective and transparent mannerbull are compliant with all relevant legislation and any other related policiesbull use best practice in the application of ethical standards andbull are consistent with the MIoDrsquos Vision Mission and Values

The choice of suppliers is influenced by the above mentioned objectives Although environmental benefits are considered as part of the procurement process with due consideration given to all relevant aspects of whole life-cycle costs of products the MIoD does not have a specific policy of preferring locally based suppliers

For some events and where a local capacity gap exists the MIoD has recourse to overseas facilitators to bring best practice to Mauritius

The MIoD intends to assess the geographical spread of its

procurement practices and report on the percentage of procurement budget which is spent on local suppliers in its next financial year At the same time the need to amend the procurement policy to promote local suppliers will also be considered

43 Recruitment Policy Under the Equal Opportunities Act 2008 (lsquoEOArsquo) an employer cannot discriminate against an employeeprospective employee on the basis of the following

The EOA also specifies that employers should be exclusively merit-oriented in their approach when it comes to selecting recruiting employing appraising promoting or dismissing an employee

Although the guidelines are not of a mandatory nature for the MIoD as it employs less than 10 employees on a full-time basis the MIoD is committed to a policy of equal opportunities

Its HR Policies amp Guidelines provides that no unlawful discrimination occurs in the recruitment and selection process on the grounds of race religion or belief colour sex age national origin disability or sexual orientation The MIoDrsquos HR Policy and Guidelines can be found on the website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepageAll employees are hired from the local community although this is not explicitly stated in our HR Policy and Guidelines

5 Environmental Performance51 MaterialsThe main consumable materials used by the MIoD are shown in this chart

52 Energy Consumption The only direct energy consumption relates to fossil fuel used in transportation by MIoD staff for work purposes This amounted to 94113 MJ for the reporting period Also the indirect energy used by MIoD relates to the consumption of electricity derived from the national electricity grid This was 10386 kWh electric for the reporting year ndash ie 11217 GJ thermal MIoD is not a producer of direct or indirect energiesInitiatives to reduce indirect energy consumption need to be investigated in the coming year This could for example include more energy-efficient lighting technologies A key constraint for the implementation of energy efficiency measures in office spaces is attributed to the fact that MIoD is only a tenant and such changes will have to be carried out by the building owner or manager

53 Water The MIoDrsquos consumption of water includes water delivered by the Central Water Authority water consumed from water fountains and bottled water for training workshops This was 26 m3year for the reporting period

54 Greenhouse Gas Emissions The total CO2 emissions of the MIoD has been estimated at 206 tonnes for the reporting period with direct and indirect emissions contributing 57 and 149 tonnes of CO2 respectively as follows bull IndirectemissionsofCO2 arose from the consumption of electricity and air travel This amounted to 107 tonnes and 42 tonnes of CO2 respectivelybull TotaldirectCO2 emissions related to land transport has been estimated at 57 tonnes of CO2 The estimation is based on the total distance travelled (km) during the reporting year an average fuel efficiency of 12 kmlitre of gasoline and the emission factor of motor gasoline

55 Waste All waste produced by MIoD and related to MIoD activities were sent to the landfill during the reporting period The main sources of waste were paper (350 kg or 035 tonnes) and plastic (37 kg or 0037 tonnes) By virtue of its activities MIoD does not deal with hazardous wastes of any kind

56 Mitigation of Environmental Impacts Following the Ecological Footprint Report undertaken in 2012 three areas were highlighted that needed attention

(i) food (mainly provided by third parties during delivery of MIoD trainings) (ii) consumables and(iii) waste management

In this respect the MIoD has undertaken in the financial year 2013-4 to bull workwithourkeythirdpartyfoodsupplierstoimprovethequality of the food offered during our training sessions especially taking into account the health problems in Mauritian society such as diabetes and to reduce our ecological footprint in this respect We have also engaged the advice of a nutritionistbull reducetheamountofplasticthatwepurchasebothinourownoffice but also through our third party suppliers In this respect we now have a water dispenser delivered to each training venue on the day of our training workshop to avoid the use of plastic bottles for our training sessions The next step is to work with our suppliers to encourage them to adopt this practicebull reducetheamountofpaperandinthisrespectwehaveagreedwith our Board Directors that effective August 2013 that we will no longer use paper but instead adopt appropriate laptop or tablet software for board papers During this year we will also undertake a complete review of our use of paper especially the printing of training manuals and see if we can fully or partially adopt alternative solutions to reduce our footprint The objective over time must be to become paperless We also intend to meet with the Registrar of Companies to lobby for the reduction in printing of Annual Reports and to allow shareholders to receive a soft copy and opt for a hard copy by exceptionbull ensurethatallouroldelectronicgoodssuchasprintersorcomputers are properly recycled using genuine recyclers andbull workwithourlandlordstointroducerecyclingbinsforallthetenants in our building Raffles Tower

57 Total Environmental Protection Expenditure and InvestmentTo date the MIoD has invested in consultancy services to help it calculate its Ecological Footprint and produce its first Integrated Report at a total cost of Rs 150000 The Ecological Footprint calculation is the benchmark for reducing our footprint in the future

6 Social61 Risks Related to Corruption An ethics risk assessment which also covered corruption risks was undertaken in 2011-2 The assessment covered all the activities of the MIoD Thereafter the MIoD Code of Conduct was reviewed and revised to address ethical conduct within the Company and by its members A Whistleblowing Policy has also been implemented The Ethics Risk Assessment Report and the MIoD Whistleblowing Policy can be found on the MIoD website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepage

revision affects both current and future periods

Where applicable the notes to the financial statements set out areas where management has applied a higher degree of judgement

that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements or estimations and assumptions that have a

significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year

With regards to the nature of the Companyrsquos business there were no key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources

DIRECTORSrsquo REPORT

1 Our StrategyIn the light of the strategic planning sessions held by the Board in November 2012 the vision and mission of the MIoD were reviewed in line with our values and updated to take into account feedback from the stakeholders of the MIoD

New Vision and MissionOur Vision is to be the preferred professional organisation for directors and aspiring directors as well as business leaders and Our Mission is to champion best business practices and effective corporate governance supporting Mauritius as a regional leader and to be the voice of Directors through training and certification programmes workshops and networking events advocacy research and thought leadership reaching out to both private and public sector enterprises

The strategic objectives of the MIoD as developed in its new three year (2013-2016) strategic plan address the key challenges and critical issues which were identified asbull assuring the long term sustainability of the Institutebull establishing the legitimacy of the MIoDbull attracting non-Directors Associates and members from the Public Sector as well as seasoned Directors andbull maintaining existing Founders and Patrons and attracting new Patrons

2 Risk ManagementThe MIoD Risk Register is regularly updated and includes this year an ethics risk assessment completed in August 2012 a review of our members Code of Conduct and the introduction of a Whistleblowing Policy A Business Continuity Plan was also approved and now needs to be fully tested

Our current reliance on funding by Founders and Patrons was reviewed and a sector analysis undertaken to ensure we are not vulnerable to financial downturn in any one sector while continuing to seek new Patrons and assurances from current Founders and Patrons as to their continued support

Debtor management has been improved with the implementation last year of Pastel and by improved procedures this year

IT security is ensured by daily back up of accounts and key data and a full back up every 15 days is held off site

3 Integrated ReportThe Integrated Report produced for the first time this year is part of our objective to be a role model of good Corporate Governance and best practice The MIoD recognizes that it operates within a social and economic environment and that its long term interest is to conduct itself as a ldquoresponsible corporate citizenrdquo For its ecological footprint the MIoD has worked with ELIA - Ecological Living in Action the successful tenderer The approach used has been one of learning-by-doing to build the internal capacity of MIoD to develop its Integrated Report on an annual basis and to use it as a strategic tool for fostering leadership in corporate governance The Footprint Report for 20123 is available on our website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepage The MIoD is now working towards Level C GRI certification and will continue to improve its Integrated Reporting based on the feedback obtained from stakeholders and in line with best practice

5 Founders and Patrons

The generous contributions and support of our Founders and Patrons were publicly acknowledged by the MIoD during the 5th anniversary celebrations where commemorative certificates were presented to them

With that milestone came also the end of the 5 year agreement that was made with the original Founders and Patrons They have all been approached to seek their continuing support for the MIoDrsquos work and we are pleased to report that 90 have so far agreed to renew their support for another period of five years

The trust placed in the MIoD by our Founders and Patrons helps us to continue in our mission to champion best business practices and effective corporate governance supporting Mauritius as a regional leader and to be the voice of Directors through training and certification programmes workshops and networking events advocacy research and thought leadership reaching out to both private and public sector enterprises

Founders and patrons contributed 35 of our revenue

6 Membership

Membership has increased by 27 and is in line with our target We are forecasting continued growth with 200 new members per annum for the next 3 years We have not been as successful in attracting Associates compared to other categories of members and we are in the process of reviewing the benefits package for Associates as well as our communications strategy for this market segment

63 of our members are directors but we continue to focus on the recruitment and nurturing of aspiring directors and young professionals who will be the directors of tomorrow

Membership retention is 91 over the 5 year life of the MIoD 40 of the loss of membership is due to members moving overseas ill health or no longer being professionally active and 30 for non-payment of membership fees

New partners are added from time to time so please consult our website wwwmiodmu for updatesMembership fees and affinity revenues currently account for 15 of the total MIoD revenue

7 Directorsrsquo Register

The Directorsrsquo Register (the Register) was set up in 2011 to enable companies to find suitable independent directors for their boards It is made up of Members and Fellows of the MIoD who are senior executives or directors from cross sections of industries and professions This is a free service for members and allows them to promote themselves as a potential independent director to sit on the boards of other organisations There is a small fee for companies who wish to undertake a search but a free search is offered to our Founders or Patrons and to registered NGOs as part of our Corporate Social Responsibility

We currently have 136 members on the Register and are happy to report that the 21 director search requests were received during 2012-3 Since January 2013 the demand has increased substantially and we believe there will be a higher number of search requests in the future as boards diversify and continue to implement good governance best practices

As from 1 September 2013 all new Members and Fellows of the MIoD will automatically be added to the Register upon receiving their membership confirmation

8 Training and Education

Our recent membersrsquo survey shows that membersrsquo satisfaction is overall very high at 97 In our aim to be customer driven and responsive membersrsquo feedback is greatly valued and very useful for reviewing the services we offer

Our members have received a new Membership Card this year entitling them to discounts on products and services with a growing number of affinity partners which include

Training and education continues to be one of the key activities of the MIoD Our partnership with high profile international trainers coupled with local trainers and local experts has enabled us to deliver high quality training workshops with a very high satisfaction rate The MIoD has been approved as a Training Institute by the Mauritius Qualifications Authority All the MIoD workshops are MQA approved and qualify for HRDC refunds as well as Continuing Professional Development (CPD) units

We continue to work closely with the IFC Global Corporate Governance Forum (GCGF) and the Ethics Institute of South Africa whose materials we mainly use for all our workshops

During last year we have invited several high profile overseas guest speakers and facilitators including Prof Mervyn King Dr Teodorina Lessidrenska Linda de Beer Chris Pierce Phil Armstrong Mike Saunders Bert van Walbeek Maggie Gorse Guillermo Miranda Prof Deon Rossouw Alison Dillon Kibirige and Dr Graeme Codrington

We ran a 5 day Ethics Officer Certification Programme in collaboration with the Ethics Institute of South Africa for the 3rd consecutive year and have now trained over 30 Ethics Officers in Mauritius

Also this year in collaboration with the GCGF we ran a Training of Trainers workshop facilitated by Chris Pierce thus increasing our trainers and facilitators pool to 11

The MIoD also relies heavily on local expertise in all its workshops and again thanks are due to all those local presenters who have provided their collaboration the past year especially the members of the National Committee on Corporate Governance

9 Corporate Services

We have continued to diversify our activities and the MIoD is increasingly being asked to help with Board and Board Committee Appraisals Corporate Governance Reporting Corporate Governance Assessments Ethics Risk Assessments Code of Conduct Development and Ethics Management Consulting Our Information and Guidance services are also regularly consulted

The revenue derived from these activities has been incuded this year under training and education but will be accounted separately next year

10 Events

The MIoD held 4 members events in the last year including a networking event held at the Blue Penny Museum in Port Louis and another at the Maritim Hotel Balaclava

The Annual Membersrsquo Meeting was held on 26 September 2012 with Philip Armstrong Head of the IFC Global Corporate Governance Forum as guest speaker talking on the topic ldquoSelecting a Board ndash An Art or a Sciencerdquo

The MIoD also celebrated its 5th anniversary this year at Angsana Balaclava Mauritius The guest of honour for the event was the President of the Republic of Mauritius His Excellency Mr Rajkeswur Purryag GCSK GOSK The event was attended by over 125 members and guests

Our thanks go to Phoenix Beverages for their sponsorship of all these membersrsquo events

11 Communications Visibility and Brand Development

The MIoD continues to build our brand recognition and increase our visibility with regular PR and media coverage We have received extended coverage throughout the year of our workshops our overseas and local facilitators who have been

interviewed in the press as well as interviews with the Chairman and the CEO Retainer spend media coverage was above target at 16 as was Advertising Value Equivalency at 125

Our members have received regular communications from us on our workshops and events as well as our quarterly on line newsletters and our membersrsquo survey

During this year the MIoD has also increased its visibility and communications on social media especially LinkedIN Facebook and Twitter

12 Advocacy and Publications

The MIoD is more and more being recognised as a key stakeholder in the corporate governance arena both locally and regionally

On the international front the MIoD has spearheaded along with the IoDSA the setting up of an African Corporate Governance Network and is working with 12 Directors Organisations from various African countries (Kenya Malawi Morocco Mozambique Nigeria Senegal Tanzania Uganda Zambia Zimbabwe as well as Mauritius and South Africa) towards the official launch of the African Corporate Governance Network in Mauritius on 16 October 2013 2 meetings of the ACGN have been held so far the first in Johannesburg sponsored by Standard Bank and the second in Harare sponsored by ACCA and attended by the World Bank the IFC NEPAD Business Foundation and Ernst amp Young

Locally the Directors Forum launched in January 2012 acts as an Advisory Council and a Technical Committee to the MIoD and has issued its first publication entitled lsquoBest Practice Guidelines for Appointment of Directorsrsquo A copy of the guideline and the resource pack can be obtained from the MIoD website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepage The Directors Forum sponsored by Phoenix Beverages and PwC is now working on its second publication ldquoAn Ethics Guide for Boardsrdquo

14 People Processes Technology

We have this year taken on two new team members bringing the team to 6 including the CEO Rizwana Eathally joined us as Membership amp Marketing Officer in October 2012 and Tioumitra (Ambrish) Maharahaje joined us as Executive Secretary in March 2013 taking over as the MIoD Company Secretary as well as Executive Secretary of the Directors Forum and the Audit Committee Forum managing the Directorsrsquo Register and leading future research projects

Last year we upgraded our accounts system with Pastel and this has proved an invaluable investment This year we have undertaken to build a new interactive website and integrated CRM Both are nearly finalised and should be fully operational in September 2013

All our processes at the MIoD are continually evolving and being reviewed as we grow We have reviewed this year our Accounting Membership and Training Procedures as well as the management of our Members and Directorsrsquo Registers

15 Finances

Although our membership has increased substantially and continues to grow and our training programme and corporate services have expanded the MIOD continues to rely on the contributions of its Founders and Patrons These contributions enable membership of the MIoD attendance at its events and use of its services to be accessible to the maximum number of people by keeping our fees at an affordable level

Accumulated funds have been placed on fixed deposits with the Mauritius Post and Cooperative Bank this being renegotiated at regular intervals

The MIoD has again this year made a small surplus of Rs 353508 for the year which is above targeted results

16 The Coming YearThe MIoD has a new three year business plan and will continue to focus on membership growth particularly for Associate members but also membership from the public sector and from more seasoned directors During the coming year we will

be undertaking a branding exercise to evaluate our image and encouraging greater stakeholder engagement to ensure excellent customer service and responsiveness through an Annual Members Forum and Survey and by establishing MOUs with key regulators

Ensuring high quality training and education remains a key objective by continuing to provide an innovative and interesting training programme with our team of 11 local trainers and consultants as well as high level overseas facilitators In 20134 this will include a Thought Leadership Programme and we hope to work more closely with the public sector We will also introduce information and consulting services and set up a Research unit to undertake research into directorsrsquo remuneration business ethics and board practices in Mauritius

The Audit Committee Forum will also start to operate and build capacity and the Directors Forum will continue to establish itself as the voice of Directors

As part of our Corporate Social Responsibility we will continue to offer pro-bono Directors Searches and Corporate Governance and Skills training for registered NGOs

We will follow up on the improvement of our Ecological Footprint by focusing on the reduction of our use of paper plastic and improving the quality of the food served at our workshops

Our new website will be launched shortly along with our new Customer Relationship Management system and our presence on LinkedIn Twitter and Facebook will be reinforced

The highlight of the coming year will undoubtedly be the launch of the African Corporate Governance Network on 16 October and our International Conference being organised in collaboration with the IoDSA on 17 and 18 October on the theme ldquoAfrica Rising Governance for Sustainability the Road Map for Value Creationrdquo with a big line up of distinguished speakers led by Baroness Lynda Chalker

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT

1Compliance StatementIn accordance with its mission statement the Mauritius Institute of Directors (lsquoMIoDrsquo or the lsquoCompanyrsquo) is committed to applying the principles of good corporate governance in its operations Rather than adopting a lsquotick the boxrsquo approach to complying with the Code the MIoD has embedded the principles of the Code in its day to day operations

During the year the MIoD has complied with all material aspects of the principles of the Code Given that it has only six employees the Board considers that it functions effectively with only one Executive Director namely the CEO

2Corporate Details and Holding StructureIncorporated in Mauritius as a public company limited by guarantee on 11 February 2008 the MIoD is a non-profit organization engaged in the promotion of good corporate governance in Mauritius and training and development

The rights powers duties and obligations of the Company the Board each director and the members of the Company are governed by the Constitution of the Company and the Companies Act 2001

The constitution of the MIoD provides that inter alia21 every member irrespective of his class of membership including a person who has been a member at any time within 12 months from the effective date of the winding up of the Institute shall in the event of the Company having a deficit in disposable assets over its liabilities contribute a maximum of one hundred (100) Mauritian Rupees to the assets of the Company in the event of it being wound up22 the monies collected shall be applied for the payment of the debts and liabilities of the Company and the payment of the costs charges and expenses associated with the winding up the Company and23 the Directors are prohibited from making any form of distribution including distributing dividends returns of capital income or profits of the Company to the Members However the Company shall use any surplus funds in any year to pursue the goals set out in Article 5 of this Constitution

The full version of the constitution is available on the MIoD website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepage

3 The BoardFrom 1 June 2012 to 7 February 2013 the Board of the MIoD was comprised of 12 directors (6 male and 6 female) of whom 11 were independent directors and one was classified as an Executive Director namely the Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

A vacancy arose on the Board on 7 February 2013 when Mrs Aruna Collendavelloo stepped down as director of the Company As there was no urgent need to appoint a replacement and on the recommendation of the Nominations and Membership Committee it was resolved that such vacancy would be filled at the Annual Meeting of Members (AMM) scheduled on 25 September 2013

The profiles of the directors are set out on pages 7 to 9 of the report

Mr Deva Armoogum was appointed as Chairman of the Board by his fellow directors following the AMM held on 26 September 2012

For the year under review the Board considered its composition as adequately balanced and that the directors had the appropriate range of skills expertise and experience required to carry out their duties properly in order to serve the interests of all the stakeholders and provide effective corporate governance

The Constitution of the Company provides that with the exception of the Chief Executive Officer every other director shall be eligible for reappointment for a maximum of five consecutive years

In line with the Code all directors who meet the eligibility criteria stand for re-election at the AMM on the recommendation of the Nominations and Membership Committee

Messrs Deva Armoogum Georges Leung Shing and Mrs Danielle Lagesse having reached their term of office will not stand for re-election at the next AMM Mr Vaughan Heberden has also indicated that he will be stepping down at the next AMM The Nominations and Membership Committee has thus reviewed the skills competencies and experience required to enable the Board to function efficiently as well as the profile of the directors eligible for re-election Their contribution to board and committee meetings were also considered

Pursuant to such review the Nominations and Membership Committee has recommended that the following directors be considered for re-election at the Annual Meeting

1 James Benoit2 Ravin Lama3 Heba Jangeerkhan4 Patricia Day-Hookoomsing5 Catherine Dvorak6 Richard Wooding

As regards the five remaining vacancies on the Board the Committee has recommended that candidates with a background in the legal and accounting fields as well as in corporate governance matters be considered for election as director of the Company

A notice inviting members to apply for consideration as director of the Company was issued on 21 May 2013

On appointment to the Board new directors receive a comprehensive induction pack from the Company Secretary and the CEO and have informal meetings with the Chairman fellow Board members Nominations and Membership Committee the CEO and the employees of the MIoD The functions and responsibilities of the Chairman and CEO are separate

The Chairman and the CEO in collaboration with the Company Secretary agreed on the Board meeting calendar for the year and the Board meeting agendas in advance to ensure adequate coverage of key issues throughout the year Board packs are usually sent to the directors five days in advance

All directors have access to the Company Secretary and CEO to discuss issues or to obtain information on specific areas or items to be considered at Board meetings or any other area they consider appropriate Directors attend Board meetings unless exceptional circumstances prevent them from so doing

1 Report Content and Reporting ParametersThis report marks two significant milestones for the MIoD It is the MIoDrsquos first Integrated Report and it also marks the first time that the GRI framework has been adopted for sustainability reporting by the MIoD These milestones are timely and are squarely aligned with MIoDrsquos position in the market to promote corporate sustainability and to lead by exampleThe integrated report has adopted the G31 guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative and it reflects MIoDrsquos commitment to provide a transparent and fair review of its strategy performance and activities in 2012-3 to its stakeholders The triple bottom line reporting has endeavoured to provide an open and honest summary of the social economic and environmental impacts stemming from our activities and commitments practices objectives and performance results regarding the management of our impacts The report contains a combination of quantitative and qualitative impactsMIoD has also adopted a learning-by-doing approach to internalise integrated sustainability reporting as a strategic management tool To reflect this approach we have realised this report in the GRI Level C application with the view that MIoD will graduate progressively to higher level reporting over time It is understood that the learning-by-doing approach implies that the processes tools and methodologies applied to identify prioritise and validate report content and reporting parameters will evolve over time Nevertheless the processes tools and methodologies are systemic and have been applied systematically to allow year-on-year comparisons of MIoDrsquos performance This is even more so because MIoD is a relatively young organisation that holds a unique position vis-agrave-vis its stakeholdersWe have used GRI Reporting Standard principles in determining the scope of the report content structure and quality and data calculation and disclosure techniques The content of this report discloses MIoDrsquos performance for the period starting July 1 2012 and ending June 30 2013

2 Report Scope amp BoundaryThe activities of MIoD cover the geographical area of the Republic of Mauritius and most of these activities take place in the island of Mauritius The report boundary is therefore the activities of MIoD in Mauritius In addition to GRIrsquos Sustainability Reporting Guidelines (GRI 31) the report also follows the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for financial reporting and the Code of Corporate Governance of Mauritius 2004 Boundaries for non-financial data collection are consistent with our financial reporting thus aligning financial environmental and social reporting Since stakeholder inclusiveness is a cross-cutting issue in determining the content and scope of reporting we have attempted to take into consideration the expectations of our stakeholders as well as to quantify or qualify the impacts of our activities on their well-being including present and future considerations and to take remedial actions Our stakeholder engagement processes are discussed below

3 Determining Report ContentGuided by the G31 reporting guidelines and principles and technical protocol the following criteria have been observed in preparing this reportStakeholder inclusivenessStakeholder identification and engagement have been carried out using a combination of three methods namely (1) market knowledge by virtue of being the main organization mandated to foster the development of corporate governance at the level of Boards and upper management in Mauritius (2) value-chain analysis to establish the entire supply chain of MIoDrsquos services including the enabling environment and business providers and (3) on-going surveys with existing and potential members

The stakeholders of the MIoD are set out below

MIoD appreciates the benefits derived from stakeholder engagement and endeavours to maintain close proximity with key stakeholders We carry out membership surveys ethics risk assessments and on-going evaluations of our training programmes to identify and address issues that are relevant to our stakeholders and also to engage our stakeholders in assessing MIoDrsquos performance risks and opportunities For instance the following examples are pertinent

Sustainability ContextAs a leading organization promoting corporate sustainability we consider sustainability as an integral aspect of our decision-making process and of the way we do business on the economic social and environmental fronts This is important on two counts namely (1) the increasing awareness in the Mauritian public and private sector for mainstreaming the three pillars of sustainable development and (2) the recognition that corporate sustainability can be a significant comparative advantage and differentiation strategy It is worth mentioning here that MIoDrsquos Integrated Report is squarely aligned with the newly adopted Maurice Ile Durable (MID) Policy Strategy and Action Plan of Mauritius especially concerning lsquoenhancing the corporate environment social responsibility and accountabilityrsquo (wwwmidmu ndash accessed 12 July 2013) The sectorial MID Strategy for employmenteconomy specifically refers to the use of GRI as a benchmark for developing a Sustainability Index for publicly listed companies

CompletenessWe have ensured that all the material topics and indicators covered in this report reflect completely the significant economic environmental and social impacts of our activities and enable our stakeholders to assess our performance in 2012-3 effectively

BalanceWe have attempted to present an unbiased picture of our performance by avoiding selections omissions or presentation formats that are reasonably likely to unduly or inappropriately influence the readerrsquos decision or judgment The report provides both favourable and unfavourable results as well as results that can influence the decisions of stakeholders in proportion to their materiality This is a commitment to MIoDrsquos transparency

ComparabilitySince this is the first integrated sustainability report results present the baseline data and information against which comparative performance analysis will be carried out in the future

AccuracyThe different data in this report have been presented both on a qualitative and quantitative basis In any case we have ensured openness in measurements and qualitative analyses while bearing in mind that data would need to be verifiable While the non-financial components of the present report have not been subject to an independent third party audit the processes methodologies and tools for generating and analysing quantitative and qualitative data were adopted because they lend themselves to such audits Where applicable such as in the case of Ecological Footprint analysis discussed below error analysis is provided to deal with uncertainties in measurements

TimelinessThis report will be issued for the purpose of the Annual Meeting of Members on 25 September 2013 It will enable all our stakeholders to assess this report and provide us with relevant feedback for future reporting This open review process forms an integral part of the learning-by-doing approach

ClarityThis report has been presented in a manner that is understandable accessible and usable by our stakeholders As far as practicable graphics and data tables have been used to present information

ReliabilityInformation and processes used in the preparation of this report have been consistently gathered recorded compiled analysed and disclosed in a way that has been subject to constant examination by a competent internal team together with the help of an external consultancy firm with experience in integrated sustainability reporting using the GRI G31 Reporting Guidelines and Principles

MaterialityAccording to the GRI G31 Guidelines materiality has to be determined by considering the economic environmental and social impacts that cross a threshold in affecting the ability to

meet the needs of the present without compromising the needs of future generations Since the identification of thresholds is not trivial especially when considering long-term impacts or impacts where root causes and their effects are delocalised geographically and across different time horizons the methodology applied by MIoD to gauge materiality is evolving as it strives to better integrate sustainability across its entire spectrum of operations and services The underlying approach is to identify and prioritise those impacts that have a propensity to create preserve or erode economic environmental and social value for itself and its stakeholders In order to be methodological and systematic a combination of approaches has been used to determine materiality and the contents of this reportbull ThelegalrequirementsoftheRepublicofMauritiusInmanyinstances the operating legal framework prescribes minimum or allowable socio-economic and environmental impacts and these thresholds are usually identified because of their materialitybull Adoptionofathoroughriskmanagementprocessthatallowsus to assess and mitigate the impacts of our operations (and vice versa) beyond the financial imperative The risk management process also makes visible opportunities to better serve our stakeholdersbull Bykeepingacloseproximitywithourstakeholdersasexplained above under lsquoStakeholder Inclusivenessrsquobull IdentificationofinternalissuesthroughmeetingswithMIoDteam members as well as subscribing to continuous learning to better adhere to our policies values strategies targets and risk management processes andbull CarryingoutanEcologicalFootprintanalysisofouroperationsthat cover the impacts of the following (1) food (mainly provided by third parties during delivery of MIoD training) (2) consumables (3) utilities buildings and transport and (4) waste The first Ecological Footprint analysis was carried out for the calendar year 2012 (a copy of the report can be obtained from our website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepage) and its results and recommendations were approved by the MIoDrsquos Board of Directors on 5 December 2012 The time period for the Ecological Footprint analysis has been revised to match the reporting period July 2012-June 2013 and the Footprint updated The analysis has been used to quantify impacts identify impacts of most significance and provide a basis for taking remedial actions across the value chain as discussed in this report Ecological Footprint analysis has been adopted as one way to deal with the difficulties in establishing thresholds for sustainability impacts The Ecological Footprint analysis also captures the ecological impacts of services delivered (except for electricity and primary energy consumption) by third party venues during MIoD training

MIoDrsquos materiality framework is evolving We are confident that the results presented here are sufficiently robust to instil confidence in the quality of the report The integrated Sustainability Report should be read in conjunction with our online resources

Validation is currently essentially an internally orientated process with authorisation by the CEO and Executive Secretary and ultimate approval of the Integrated Report by the Board of Directors

Performance indicators have been chosen for reporting purposes based on three main factors1 Results of the Ecological Footprint Analysis2 Our ability or maturity to respond and3 The opportunity for MIoD to grow and gain advantage from the impacts

The calculation of Performance Indicators has followed the GRI Indicator Protocols GHG emissions arising from the use of electricity has been calculated from the Grid Emission Factor of Mauritius using the methodological tool 07 ndash ie ldquoTool to calculate the emission factor for an electricity system (Version 0300) - proposed by the Clean Development Mechanism for calculating the operating margin (httpcdmunfcccintmethodologiesPAmethodologiestoolsam-tool-07-v300pdf )rdquo GHG emissions arising from business-related air travel have been calculated using the official ICAO online calculator (httpwww2icaointencarbonoffsetPagesdefaultaspx)

Re-statements of information are not applicable to MIoDrsquos first Integrated Report

4 Market Position41 Range of Ratios of Standard Entry Level Wage by Gender The MIoD does not differentiate salaries on the basis of gender nor do we have a standard entry wage level for employees Entry salaries are based on industry and market benchmarks the entrantrsquos educational level and relevant experience The Board Nominations Committee is responsible for reviewing and recommending to the Board any changes to employeesrsquo remuneration Employees are rewarded for their contribution to the Companyrsquos performance based on their performance against annual KPIs and the companyrsquos financial position

The MIoD employs 5 staff excluding the CEO ndash 3 female and 2 male The lowest male basic salary is Rs 28618 and the lowest female basic monthly salary is Rs 14478 There is no official minimum wage in Mauritius in our sector However as per the Ministry of Labour and the National Remuneration Order for Travel Agents and Tour Operators Workers a similar service sector the minimum wages prescribed for comparable jobs are as follows

bull SeniorAccountsClerkRs10306bull AdministrativeClerkRs8717

Mauritius Institute of Directors - IntegratedReport Mauritius Institute of Directors - IntegratedReport32 33

Based on this methodology the ratio of entry level wage by gender compared to local minimum wage for comparable jobs is 126 for male staff and 117 for female staff The apparent difference between the two ratios does not imply gender bias at MIoD since for any specific position a male or female employee would receive the same remuneration all else being equal

The MIoD is focused on continually developing a workforce that is dedicated motivated and well trained in order to assure the Institutersquos future development and growth as well as providing long term employment for individual employees

To achieve this goal the MIoD provides competitive compensation and certain social benefits to all employees while maintaining a positive work environment The MIoD is committed to providing a total compensation package that enables the Institute to attract and retain skilled employees for all positions A competitive total compensation package includes an effective salary and a benefits plan which aims tobull payafairbasicsalaryforthejobbybenchmarkingagainst similar jobs and similar organisations in Mauritius and taking into consideration internal equity specific job requirements and the skills knowledge and abilities of the employeebull providebasicbenefitsandbull recogniseindividualcontributionthroughtheperformance bonus system

The total compensation package also includes payment of a 13th month salary in line with Mauritian legislation which is normally paid in December and is calculated proportionately to the time of service during the year All employees receive a pay slip and salaries are paid on 26th of each month by standing order

42 Suppliers The MIoD has adopted a lsquoProcurement Policyrsquo to ensure that all procurement activities carried out by the MIoDbull provide best possible valuebull are conducted in a fair objective and transparent mannerbull are compliant with all relevant legislation and any other related policiesbull use best practice in the application of ethical standards andbull are consistent with the MIoDrsquos Vision Mission and Values

The choice of suppliers is influenced by the above mentioned objectives Although environmental benefits are considered as part of the procurement process with due consideration given to all relevant aspects of whole life-cycle costs of products the MIoD does not have a specific policy of preferring locally based suppliers

For some events and where a local capacity gap exists the MIoD has recourse to overseas facilitators to bring best practice to Mauritius

The MIoD intends to assess the geographical spread of its

procurement practices and report on the percentage of procurement budget which is spent on local suppliers in its next financial year At the same time the need to amend the procurement policy to promote local suppliers will also be considered

43 Recruitment Policy Under the Equal Opportunities Act 2008 (lsquoEOArsquo) an employer cannot discriminate against an employeeprospective employee on the basis of the following

The EOA also specifies that employers should be exclusively merit-oriented in their approach when it comes to selecting recruiting employing appraising promoting or dismissing an employee

Although the guidelines are not of a mandatory nature for the MIoD as it employs less than 10 employees on a full-time basis the MIoD is committed to a policy of equal opportunities

Its HR Policies amp Guidelines provides that no unlawful discrimination occurs in the recruitment and selection process on the grounds of race religion or belief colour sex age national origin disability or sexual orientation The MIoDrsquos HR Policy and Guidelines can be found on the website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepageAll employees are hired from the local community although this is not explicitly stated in our HR Policy and Guidelines

5 Environmental Performance51 MaterialsThe main consumable materials used by the MIoD are shown in this chart

52 Energy Consumption The only direct energy consumption relates to fossil fuel used in transportation by MIoD staff for work purposes This amounted to 94113 MJ for the reporting period Also the indirect energy used by MIoD relates to the consumption of electricity derived from the national electricity grid This was 10386 kWh electric for the reporting year ndash ie 11217 GJ thermal MIoD is not a producer of direct or indirect energiesInitiatives to reduce indirect energy consumption need to be investigated in the coming year This could for example include more energy-efficient lighting technologies A key constraint for the implementation of energy efficiency measures in office spaces is attributed to the fact that MIoD is only a tenant and such changes will have to be carried out by the building owner or manager

53 Water The MIoDrsquos consumption of water includes water delivered by the Central Water Authority water consumed from water fountains and bottled water for training workshops This was 26 m3year for the reporting period

54 Greenhouse Gas Emissions The total CO2 emissions of the MIoD has been estimated at 206 tonnes for the reporting period with direct and indirect emissions contributing 57 and 149 tonnes of CO2 respectively as follows bull IndirectemissionsofCO2 arose from the consumption of electricity and air travel This amounted to 107 tonnes and 42 tonnes of CO2 respectivelybull TotaldirectCO2 emissions related to land transport has been estimated at 57 tonnes of CO2 The estimation is based on the total distance travelled (km) during the reporting year an average fuel efficiency of 12 kmlitre of gasoline and the emission factor of motor gasoline

55 Waste All waste produced by MIoD and related to MIoD activities were sent to the landfill during the reporting period The main sources of waste were paper (350 kg or 035 tonnes) and plastic (37 kg or 0037 tonnes) By virtue of its activities MIoD does not deal with hazardous wastes of any kind

56 Mitigation of Environmental Impacts Following the Ecological Footprint Report undertaken in 2012 three areas were highlighted that needed attention

(i) food (mainly provided by third parties during delivery of MIoD trainings) (ii) consumables and(iii) waste management

In this respect the MIoD has undertaken in the financial year 2013-4 to bull workwithourkeythirdpartyfoodsupplierstoimprovethequality of the food offered during our training sessions especially taking into account the health problems in Mauritian society such as diabetes and to reduce our ecological footprint in this respect We have also engaged the advice of a nutritionistbull reducetheamountofplasticthatwepurchasebothinourownoffice but also through our third party suppliers In this respect we now have a water dispenser delivered to each training venue on the day of our training workshop to avoid the use of plastic bottles for our training sessions The next step is to work with our suppliers to encourage them to adopt this practicebull reducetheamountofpaperandinthisrespectwehaveagreedwith our Board Directors that effective August 2013 that we will no longer use paper but instead adopt appropriate laptop or tablet software for board papers During this year we will also undertake a complete review of our use of paper especially the printing of training manuals and see if we can fully or partially adopt alternative solutions to reduce our footprint The objective over time must be to become paperless We also intend to meet with the Registrar of Companies to lobby for the reduction in printing of Annual Reports and to allow shareholders to receive a soft copy and opt for a hard copy by exceptionbull ensurethatallouroldelectronicgoodssuchasprintersorcomputers are properly recycled using genuine recyclers andbull workwithourlandlordstointroducerecyclingbinsforallthetenants in our building Raffles Tower

57 Total Environmental Protection Expenditure and InvestmentTo date the MIoD has invested in consultancy services to help it calculate its Ecological Footprint and produce its first Integrated Report at a total cost of Rs 150000 The Ecological Footprint calculation is the benchmark for reducing our footprint in the future

6 Social61 Risks Related to Corruption An ethics risk assessment which also covered corruption risks was undertaken in 2011-2 The assessment covered all the activities of the MIoD Thereafter the MIoD Code of Conduct was reviewed and revised to address ethical conduct within the Company and by its members A Whistleblowing Policy has also been implemented The Ethics Risk Assessment Report and the MIoD Whistleblowing Policy can be found on the MIoD website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepage

be relevant Actual results may differ from these estimates

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in

revision affects both current and future periods

Where applicable the notes to the financial statements set out areas where management has applied a higher degree of judgement

that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements or estimations and assumptions that have a

significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year

With regards to the nature of the Companyrsquos business there were no key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources

of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting year that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the

the reporting date For floating rate assets the analysis is prepared assuming the amount of assets at the reporting date was owned

for the whole year A 50 basis point increase or decrease represents managementrsquos assessment of the reasonably possible change in

interest rates

If interest rates had been 50 basis points higherlower and all other variables were held constant the companyrsquos surplus for the year

ended30June2013wouldincreasedecreasebyRs44543(yearended30June2012increasedecreasebyRs33311)Thisismainly

attributable to the companyrsquos exposure to interest rates on its floating rate interest bearing asset The company does not have any

significant variable rate borrowings outstanding at year end

Liquidity risk management

The company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash and borrowing facilities by continuously monitoring forecast

and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities

DIRECTORSrsquo REPORT

1 Our StrategyIn the light of the strategic planning sessions held by the Board in November 2012 the vision and mission of the MIoD were reviewed in line with our values and updated to take into account feedback from the stakeholders of the MIoD

New Vision and MissionOur Vision is to be the preferred professional organisation for directors and aspiring directors as well as business leaders and Our Mission is to champion best business practices and effective corporate governance supporting Mauritius as a regional leader and to be the voice of Directors through training and certification programmes workshops and networking events advocacy research and thought leadership reaching out to both private and public sector enterprises

The strategic objectives of the MIoD as developed in its new three year (2013-2016) strategic plan address the key challenges and critical issues which were identified asbull assuring the long term sustainability of the Institutebull establishing the legitimacy of the MIoDbull attracting non-Directors Associates and members from the Public Sector as well as seasoned Directors andbull maintaining existing Founders and Patrons and attracting new Patrons

2 Risk ManagementThe MIoD Risk Register is regularly updated and includes this year an ethics risk assessment completed in August 2012 a review of our members Code of Conduct and the introduction of a Whistleblowing Policy A Business Continuity Plan was also approved and now needs to be fully tested

Our current reliance on funding by Founders and Patrons was reviewed and a sector analysis undertaken to ensure we are not vulnerable to financial downturn in any one sector while continuing to seek new Patrons and assurances from current Founders and Patrons as to their continued support

Debtor management has been improved with the implementation last year of Pastel and by improved procedures this year

IT security is ensured by daily back up of accounts and key data and a full back up every 15 days is held off site

3 Integrated ReportThe Integrated Report produced for the first time this year is part of our objective to be a role model of good Corporate Governance and best practice The MIoD recognizes that it operates within a social and economic environment and that its long term interest is to conduct itself as a ldquoresponsible corporate citizenrdquo For its ecological footprint the MIoD has worked with ELIA - Ecological Living in Action the successful tenderer The approach used has been one of learning-by-doing to build the internal capacity of MIoD to develop its Integrated Report on an annual basis and to use it as a strategic tool for fostering leadership in corporate governance The Footprint Report for 20123 is available on our website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepage The MIoD is now working towards Level C GRI certification and will continue to improve its Integrated Reporting based on the feedback obtained from stakeholders and in line with best practice

4 Key Performance Indicators The strategic objectives are translated into Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) which are regularly monitored by the Board to ensure that the objectives of the MIoD are met The KPIs for 2012-3 were

5 Founders and Patrons

The generous contributions and support of our Founders and Patrons were publicly acknowledged by the MIoD during the 5th anniversary celebrations where commemorative certificates were presented to them

With that milestone came also the end of the 5 year agreement that was made with the original Founders and Patrons They have all been approached to seek their continuing support for the MIoDrsquos work and we are pleased to report that 90 have so far agreed to renew their support for another period of five years

The trust placed in the MIoD by our Founders and Patrons helps us to continue in our mission to champion best business practices and effective corporate governance supporting Mauritius as a regional leader and to be the voice of Directors through training and certification programmes workshops and networking events advocacy research and thought leadership reaching out to both private and public sector enterprises

Founders and patrons contributed 35 of our revenue

6 Membership

Membership has increased by 27 and is in line with our target We are forecasting continued growth with 200 new members per annum for the next 3 years We have not been as successful in attracting Associates compared to other categories of members and we are in the process of reviewing the benefits package for Associates as well as our communications strategy for this market segment

63 of our members are directors but we continue to focus on the recruitment and nurturing of aspiring directors and young professionals who will be the directors of tomorrow

Membership retention is 91 over the 5 year life of the MIoD 40 of the loss of membership is due to members moving overseas ill health or no longer being professionally active and 30 for non-payment of membership fees

New partners are added from time to time so please consult our website wwwmiodmu for updatesMembership fees and affinity revenues currently account for 15 of the total MIoD revenue

7 Directorsrsquo Register

The Directorsrsquo Register (the Register) was set up in 2011 to enable companies to find suitable independent directors for their boards It is made up of Members and Fellows of the MIoD who are senior executives or directors from cross sections of industries and professions This is a free service for members and allows them to promote themselves as a potential independent director to sit on the boards of other organisations There is a small fee for companies who wish to undertake a search but a free search is offered to our Founders or Patrons and to registered NGOs as part of our Corporate Social Responsibility

We currently have 136 members on the Register and are happy to report that the 21 director search requests were received during 2012-3 Since January 2013 the demand has increased substantially and we believe there will be a higher number of search requests in the future as boards diversify and continue to implement good governance best practices

As from 1 September 2013 all new Members and Fellows of the MIoD will automatically be added to the Register upon receiving their membership confirmation

8 Training and Education

Our recent membersrsquo survey shows that membersrsquo satisfaction is overall very high at 97 In our aim to be customer driven and responsive membersrsquo feedback is greatly valued and very useful for reviewing the services we offer

Our members have received a new Membership Card this year entitling them to discounts on products and services with a growing number of affinity partners which include

Training and education continues to be one of the key activities of the MIoD Our partnership with high profile international trainers coupled with local trainers and local experts has enabled us to deliver high quality training workshops with a very high satisfaction rate The MIoD has been approved as a Training Institute by the Mauritius Qualifications Authority All the MIoD workshops are MQA approved and qualify for HRDC refunds as well as Continuing Professional Development (CPD) units

We continue to work closely with the IFC Global Corporate Governance Forum (GCGF) and the Ethics Institute of South Africa whose materials we mainly use for all our workshops

During last year we have invited several high profile overseas guest speakers and facilitators including Prof Mervyn King Dr Teodorina Lessidrenska Linda de Beer Chris Pierce Phil Armstrong Mike Saunders Bert van Walbeek Maggie Gorse Guillermo Miranda Prof Deon Rossouw Alison Dillon Kibirige and Dr Graeme Codrington

We ran a 5 day Ethics Officer Certification Programme in collaboration with the Ethics Institute of South Africa for the 3rd consecutive year and have now trained over 30 Ethics Officers in Mauritius

Also this year in collaboration with the GCGF we ran a Training of Trainers workshop facilitated by Chris Pierce thus increasing our trainers and facilitators pool to 11

The MIoD also relies heavily on local expertise in all its workshops and again thanks are due to all those local presenters who have provided their collaboration the past year especially the members of the National Committee on Corporate Governance

9 Corporate Services

We have continued to diversify our activities and the MIoD is increasingly being asked to help with Board and Board Committee Appraisals Corporate Governance Reporting Corporate Governance Assessments Ethics Risk Assessments Code of Conduct Development and Ethics Management Consulting Our Information and Guidance services are also regularly consulted

The revenue derived from these activities has been incuded this year under training and education but will be accounted separately next year

10 Events

The MIoD held 4 members events in the last year including a networking event held at the Blue Penny Museum in Port Louis and another at the Maritim Hotel Balaclava

The Annual Membersrsquo Meeting was held on 26 September 2012 with Philip Armstrong Head of the IFC Global Corporate Governance Forum as guest speaker talking on the topic ldquoSelecting a Board ndash An Art or a Sciencerdquo

The MIoD also celebrated its 5th anniversary this year at Angsana Balaclava Mauritius The guest of honour for the event was the President of the Republic of Mauritius His Excellency Mr Rajkeswur Purryag GCSK GOSK The event was attended by over 125 members and guests

Our thanks go to Phoenix Beverages for their sponsorship of all these membersrsquo events

11 Communications Visibility and Brand Development

The MIoD continues to build our brand recognition and increase our visibility with regular PR and media coverage We have received extended coverage throughout the year of our workshops our overseas and local facilitators who have been

interviewed in the press as well as interviews with the Chairman and the CEO Retainer spend media coverage was above target at 16 as was Advertising Value Equivalency at 125

Our members have received regular communications from us on our workshops and events as well as our quarterly on line newsletters and our membersrsquo survey

During this year the MIoD has also increased its visibility and communications on social media especially LinkedIN Facebook and Twitter

12 Advocacy and Publications

The MIoD is more and more being recognised as a key stakeholder in the corporate governance arena both locally and regionally

On the international front the MIoD has spearheaded along with the IoDSA the setting up of an African Corporate Governance Network and is working with 12 Directors Organisations from various African countries (Kenya Malawi Morocco Mozambique Nigeria Senegal Tanzania Uganda Zambia Zimbabwe as well as Mauritius and South Africa) towards the official launch of the African Corporate Governance Network in Mauritius on 16 October 2013 2 meetings of the ACGN have been held so far the first in Johannesburg sponsored by Standard Bank and the second in Harare sponsored by ACCA and attended by the World Bank the IFC NEPAD Business Foundation and Ernst amp Young

14 People Processes Technology

We have this year taken on two new team members bringing the team to 6 including the CEO Rizwana Eathally joined us as Membership amp Marketing Officer in October 2012 and Tioumitra (Ambrish) Maharahaje joined us as Executive Secretary in March 2013 taking over as the MIoD Company Secretary as well as Executive Secretary of the Directors Forum and the Audit Committee Forum managing the Directorsrsquo Register and leading future research projects

Last year we upgraded our accounts system with Pastel and this has proved an invaluable investment This year we have undertaken to build a new interactive website and integrated CRM Both are nearly finalised and should be fully operational in September 2013

All our processes at the MIoD are continually evolving and being reviewed as we grow We have reviewed this year our Accounting Membership and Training Procedures as well as the management of our Members and Directorsrsquo Registers

15 Finances

Although our membership has increased substantially and continues to grow and our training programme and corporate services have expanded the MIOD continues to rely on the contributions of its Founders and Patrons These contributions enable membership of the MIoD attendance at its events and use of its services to be accessible to the maximum number of people by keeping our fees at an affordable level

Accumulated funds have been placed on fixed deposits with the Mauritius Post and Cooperative Bank this being renegotiated at regular intervals

The MIoD has again this year made a small surplus of Rs 353508 for the year which is above targeted results

16 The Coming YearThe MIoD has a new three year business plan and will continue to focus on membership growth particularly for Associate members but also membership from the public sector and from more seasoned directors During the coming year we will

be undertaking a branding exercise to evaluate our image and encouraging greater stakeholder engagement to ensure excellent customer service and responsiveness through an Annual Members Forum and Survey and by establishing MOUs with key regulators

Ensuring high quality training and education remains a key objective by continuing to provide an innovative and interesting training programme with our team of 11 local trainers and consultants as well as high level overseas facilitators In 20134 this will include a Thought Leadership Programme and we hope to work more closely with the public sector We will also introduce information and consulting services and set up a Research unit to undertake research into directorsrsquo remuneration business ethics and board practices in Mauritius

The Audit Committee Forum will also start to operate and build capacity and the Directors Forum will continue to establish itself as the voice of Directors

As part of our Corporate Social Responsibility we will continue to offer pro-bono Directors Searches and Corporate Governance and Skills training for registered NGOs

We will follow up on the improvement of our Ecological Footprint by focusing on the reduction of our use of paper plastic and improving the quality of the food served at our workshops

Our new website will be launched shortly along with our new Customer Relationship Management system and our presence on LinkedIn Twitter and Facebook will be reinforced

The highlight of the coming year will undoubtedly be the launch of the African Corporate Governance Network on 16 October and our International Conference being organised in collaboration with the IoDSA on 17 and 18 October on the theme ldquoAfrica Rising Governance for Sustainability the Road Map for Value Creationrdquo with a big line up of distinguished speakers led by Baroness Lynda Chalker

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT

1Compliance StatementIn accordance with its mission statement the Mauritius Institute of Directors (lsquoMIoDrsquo or the lsquoCompanyrsquo) is committed to applying the principles of good corporate governance in its operations Rather than adopting a lsquotick the boxrsquo approach to complying with the Code the MIoD has embedded the principles of the Code in its day to day operations

During the year the MIoD has complied with all material aspects of the principles of the Code Given that it has only six employees the Board considers that it functions effectively with only one Executive Director namely the CEO

2Corporate Details and Holding StructureIncorporated in Mauritius as a public company limited by guarantee on 11 February 2008 the MIoD is a non-profit organization engaged in the promotion of good corporate governance in Mauritius and training and development

The rights powers duties and obligations of the Company the Board each director and the members of the Company are governed by the Constitution of the Company and the Companies Act 2001

The constitution of the MIoD provides that inter alia21 every member irrespective of his class of membership including a person who has been a member at any time within 12 months from the effective date of the winding up of the Institute shall in the event of the Company having a deficit in disposable assets over its liabilities contribute a maximum of one hundred (100) Mauritian Rupees to the assets of the Company in the event of it being wound up22 the monies collected shall be applied for the payment of the debts and liabilities of the Company and the payment of the costs charges and expenses associated with the winding up the Company and23 the Directors are prohibited from making any form of distribution including distributing dividends returns of capital income or profits of the Company to the Members However the Company shall use any surplus funds in any year to pursue the goals set out in Article 5 of this Constitution

The full version of the constitution is available on the MIoD website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepage

3 The BoardFrom 1 June 2012 to 7 February 2013 the Board of the MIoD was comprised of 12 directors (6 male and 6 female) of whom 11 were independent directors and one was classified as an Executive Director namely the Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

A vacancy arose on the Board on 7 February 2013 when Mrs Aruna Collendavelloo stepped down as director of the Company As there was no urgent need to appoint a replacement and on the recommendation of the Nominations and Membership Committee it was resolved that such vacancy would be filled at the Annual Meeting of Members (AMM) scheduled on 25 September 2013

The profiles of the directors are set out on pages 7 to 9 of the report

Mr Deva Armoogum was appointed as Chairman of the Board by his fellow directors following the AMM held on 26 September 2012

For the year under review the Board considered its composition as adequately balanced and that the directors had the appropriate range of skills expertise and experience required to carry out their duties properly in order to serve the interests of all the stakeholders and provide effective corporate governance

The Constitution of the Company provides that with the exception of the Chief Executive Officer every other director shall be eligible for reappointment for a maximum of five consecutive years

In line with the Code all directors who meet the eligibility criteria stand for re-election at the AMM on the recommendation of the Nominations and Membership Committee

Messrs Deva Armoogum Georges Leung Shing and Mrs Danielle Lagesse having reached their term of office will not stand for re-election at the next AMM Mr Vaughan Heberden has also indicated that he will be stepping down at the next AMM The Nominations and Membership Committee has thus reviewed the skills competencies and experience required to enable the Board to function efficiently as well as the profile of the directors eligible for re-election Their contribution to board and committee meetings were also considered

Pursuant to such review the Nominations and Membership Committee has recommended that the following directors be considered for re-election at the Annual Meeting

1 James Benoit2 Ravin Lama3 Heba Jangeerkhan4 Patricia Day-Hookoomsing5 Catherine Dvorak6 Richard Wooding

As regards the five remaining vacancies on the Board the Committee has recommended that candidates with a background in the legal and accounting fields as well as in corporate governance matters be considered for election as director of the Company

A notice inviting members to apply for consideration as director of the Company was issued on 21 May 2013

On appointment to the Board new directors receive a comprehensive induction pack from the Company Secretary and the CEO and have informal meetings with the Chairman fellow Board members Nominations and Membership Committee the CEO and the employees of the MIoD The functions and responsibilities of the Chairman and CEO are separate

The Chairman and the CEO in collaboration with the Company Secretary agreed on the Board meeting calendar for the year and the Board meeting agendas in advance to ensure adequate coverage of key issues throughout the year Board packs are usually sent to the directors five days in advance

All directors have access to the Company Secretary and CEO to discuss issues or to obtain information on specific areas or items to be considered at Board meetings or any other area they consider appropriate Directors attend Board meetings unless exceptional circumstances prevent them from so doing

Furthermore the directors have the right to request independent professional advice at the expense of the Company The Board also invites third parties with relevant experience and expertise to attend board meetings as and when required

Besides Board meetings decisions are also taken through written Board resolutions as and when required

The attendance of directors at board and committee meetings is set out in the table on page 26

The profiles of the senior management team are set out at page 9 of the report

1 Report Content and Reporting ParametersThis report marks two significant milestones for the MIoD It is the MIoDrsquos first Integrated Report and it also marks the first time that the GRI framework has been adopted for sustainability reporting by the MIoD These milestones are timely and are squarely aligned with MIoDrsquos position in the market to promote corporate sustainability and to lead by exampleThe integrated report has adopted the G31 guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative and it reflects MIoDrsquos commitment to provide a transparent and fair review of its strategy performance and activities in 2012-3 to its stakeholders The triple bottom line reporting has endeavoured to provide an open and honest summary of the social economic and environmental impacts stemming from our activities and commitments practices objectives and performance results regarding the management of our impacts The report contains a combination of quantitative and qualitative impactsMIoD has also adopted a learning-by-doing approach to internalise integrated sustainability reporting as a strategic management tool To reflect this approach we have realised this report in the GRI Level C application with the view that MIoD will graduate progressively to higher level reporting over time It is understood that the learning-by-doing approach implies that the processes tools and methodologies applied to identify prioritise and validate report content and reporting parameters will evolve over time Nevertheless the processes tools and methodologies are systemic and have been applied systematically to allow year-on-year comparisons of MIoDrsquos performance This is even more so because MIoD is a relatively young organisation that holds a unique position vis-agrave-vis its stakeholdersWe have used GRI Reporting Standard principles in determining the scope of the report content structure and quality and data calculation and disclosure techniques The content of this report discloses MIoDrsquos performance for the period starting July 1 2012 and ending June 30 2013

2 Report Scope amp BoundaryThe activities of MIoD cover the geographical area of the Republic of Mauritius and most of these activities take place in the island of Mauritius The report boundary is therefore the activities of MIoD in Mauritius In addition to GRIrsquos Sustainability Reporting Guidelines (GRI 31) the report also follows the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for financial reporting and the Code of Corporate Governance of Mauritius 2004 Boundaries for non-financial data collection are consistent with our financial reporting thus aligning financial environmental and social reporting Since stakeholder inclusiveness is a cross-cutting issue in determining the content and scope of reporting we have attempted to take into consideration the expectations of our stakeholders as well as to quantify or qualify the impacts of our activities on their well-being including present and future considerations and to take remedial actions Our stakeholder engagement processes are discussed below

3 Determining Report ContentGuided by the G31 reporting guidelines and principles and technical protocol the following criteria have been observed in preparing this reportStakeholder inclusivenessStakeholder identification and engagement have been carried out using a combination of three methods namely (1) market knowledge by virtue of being the main organization mandated to foster the development of corporate governance at the level of Boards and upper management in Mauritius (2) value-chain analysis to establish the entire supply chain of MIoDrsquos services including the enabling environment and business providers and (3) on-going surveys with existing and potential members

The stakeholders of the MIoD are set out below

MIoD appreciates the benefits derived from stakeholder engagement and endeavours to maintain close proximity with key stakeholders We carry out membership surveys ethics risk assessments and on-going evaluations of our training programmes to identify and address issues that are relevant to our stakeholders and also to engage our stakeholders in assessing MIoDrsquos performance risks and opportunities For instance the following examples are pertinent

Sustainability ContextAs a leading organization promoting corporate sustainability we consider sustainability as an integral aspect of our decision-making process and of the way we do business on the economic social and environmental fronts This is important on two counts namely (1) the increasing awareness in the Mauritian public and private sector for mainstreaming the three pillars of sustainable development and (2) the recognition that corporate sustainability can be a significant comparative advantage and differentiation strategy It is worth mentioning here that MIoDrsquos Integrated Report is squarely aligned with the newly adopted Maurice Ile Durable (MID) Policy Strategy and Action Plan of Mauritius especially concerning lsquoenhancing the corporate environment social responsibility and accountabilityrsquo (wwwmidmu ndash accessed 12 July 2013) The sectorial MID Strategy for employmenteconomy specifically refers to the use of GRI as a benchmark for developing a Sustainability Index for publicly listed companies

CompletenessWe have ensured that all the material topics and indicators covered in this report reflect completely the significant economic environmental and social impacts of our activities and enable our stakeholders to assess our performance in 2012-3 effectively

BalanceWe have attempted to present an unbiased picture of our performance by avoiding selections omissions or presentation formats that are reasonably likely to unduly or inappropriately influence the readerrsquos decision or judgment The report provides both favourable and unfavourable results as well as results that can influence the decisions of stakeholders in proportion to their materiality This is a commitment to MIoDrsquos transparency

ComparabilitySince this is the first integrated sustainability report results present the baseline data and information against which comparative performance analysis will be carried out in the future

AccuracyThe different data in this report have been presented both on a qualitative and quantitative basis In any case we have ensured openness in measurements and qualitative analyses while bearing in mind that data would need to be verifiable While the non-financial components of the present report have not been subject to an independent third party audit the processes methodologies and tools for generating and analysing quantitative and qualitative data were adopted because they lend themselves to such audits Where applicable such as in the case of Ecological Footprint analysis discussed below error analysis is provided to deal with uncertainties in measurements

TimelinessThis report will be issued for the purpose of the Annual Meeting of Members on 25 September 2013 It will enable all our stakeholders to assess this report and provide us with relevant feedback for future reporting This open review process forms an integral part of the learning-by-doing approach

ClarityThis report has been presented in a manner that is understandable accessible and usable by our stakeholders As far as practicable graphics and data tables have been used to present information

ReliabilityInformation and processes used in the preparation of this report have been consistently gathered recorded compiled analysed and disclosed in a way that has been subject to constant examination by a competent internal team together with the help of an external consultancy firm with experience in integrated sustainability reporting using the GRI G31 Reporting Guidelines and Principles

MaterialityAccording to the GRI G31 Guidelines materiality has to be determined by considering the economic environmental and social impacts that cross a threshold in affecting the ability to

meet the needs of the present without compromising the needs of future generations Since the identification of thresholds is not trivial especially when considering long-term impacts or impacts where root causes and their effects are delocalised geographically and across different time horizons the methodology applied by MIoD to gauge materiality is evolving as it strives to better integrate sustainability across its entire spectrum of operations and services The underlying approach is to identify and prioritise those impacts that have a propensity to create preserve or erode economic environmental and social value for itself and its stakeholders In order to be methodological and systematic a combination of approaches has been used to determine materiality and the contents of this reportbull ThelegalrequirementsoftheRepublicofMauritiusInmanyinstances the operating legal framework prescribes minimum or allowable socio-economic and environmental impacts and these thresholds are usually identified because of their materialitybull Adoptionofathoroughriskmanagementprocessthatallowsus to assess and mitigate the impacts of our operations (and vice versa) beyond the financial imperative The risk management process also makes visible opportunities to better serve our stakeholdersbull Bykeepingacloseproximitywithourstakeholdersasexplained above under lsquoStakeholder Inclusivenessrsquobull IdentificationofinternalissuesthroughmeetingswithMIoDteam members as well as subscribing to continuous learning to better adhere to our policies values strategies targets and risk management processes andbull CarryingoutanEcologicalFootprintanalysisofouroperationsthat cover the impacts of the following (1) food (mainly provided by third parties during delivery of MIoD training) (2) consumables (3) utilities buildings and transport and (4) waste The first Ecological Footprint analysis was carried out for the calendar year 2012 (a copy of the report can be obtained from our website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepage) and its results and recommendations were approved by the MIoDrsquos Board of Directors on 5 December 2012 The time period for the Ecological Footprint analysis has been revised to match the reporting period July 2012-June 2013 and the Footprint updated The analysis has been used to quantify impacts identify impacts of most significance and provide a basis for taking remedial actions across the value chain as discussed in this report Ecological Footprint analysis has been adopted as one way to deal with the difficulties in establishing thresholds for sustainability impacts The Ecological Footprint analysis also captures the ecological impacts of services delivered (except for electricity and primary energy consumption) by third party venues during MIoD training

MIoDrsquos materiality framework is evolving We are confident that the results presented here are sufficiently robust to instil confidence in the quality of the report The integrated Sustainability Report should be read in conjunction with our online resources

Validation is currently essentially an internally orientated process with authorisation by the CEO and Executive Secretary and ultimate approval of the Integrated Report by the Board of Directors

Performance indicators have been chosen for reporting purposes based on three main factors1 Results of the Ecological Footprint Analysis2 Our ability or maturity to respond and3 The opportunity for MIoD to grow and gain advantage from the impacts

The calculation of Performance Indicators has followed the GRI Indicator Protocols GHG emissions arising from the use of electricity has been calculated from the Grid Emission Factor of Mauritius using the methodological tool 07 ndash ie ldquoTool to calculate the emission factor for an electricity system (Version 0300) - proposed by the Clean Development Mechanism for calculating the operating margin (httpcdmunfcccintmethodologiesPAmethodologiestoolsam-tool-07-v300pdf )rdquo GHG emissions arising from business-related air travel have been calculated using the official ICAO online calculator (httpwww2icaointencarbonoffsetPagesdefaultaspx)

4 Market Position41 Range of Ratios of Standard Entry Level Wage by Gender The MIoD does not differentiate salaries on the basis of gender nor do we have a standard entry wage level for employees Entry salaries are based on industry and market benchmarks the entrantrsquos educational level and relevant experience The Board Nominations Committee is responsible for reviewing and recommending to the Board any changes to employeesrsquo remuneration Employees are rewarded for their contribution to the Companyrsquos performance based on their performance against annual KPIs and the companyrsquos financial position

The MIoD employs 5 staff excluding the CEO ndash 3 female and 2 male The lowest male basic salary is Rs 28618 and the lowest female basic monthly salary is Rs 14478 There is no official minimum wage in Mauritius in our sector However as per the Ministry of Labour and the National Remuneration Order for Travel Agents and Tour Operators Workers a similar service sector the minimum wages prescribed for comparable jobs are as follows

bull SeniorAccountsClerkRs10306bull AdministrativeClerkRs8717

Mauritius Institute of Directors - IntegratedReport Mauritius Institute of Directors - IntegratedReport32 33

Based on this methodology the ratio of entry level wage by gender compared to local minimum wage for comparable jobs is 126 for male staff and 117 for female staff The apparent difference between the two ratios does not imply gender bias at MIoD since for any specific position a male or female employee would receive the same remuneration all else being equal

The MIoD is focused on continually developing a workforce that is dedicated motivated and well trained in order to assure the Institutersquos future development and growth as well as providing long term employment for individual employees

To achieve this goal the MIoD provides competitive compensation and certain social benefits to all employees while maintaining a positive work environment The MIoD is committed to providing a total compensation package that enables the Institute to attract and retain skilled employees for all positions A competitive total compensation package includes an effective salary and a benefits plan which aims tobull payafairbasicsalaryforthejobbybenchmarkingagainst similar jobs and similar organisations in Mauritius and taking into consideration internal equity specific job requirements and the skills knowledge and abilities of the employeebull providebasicbenefitsandbull recogniseindividualcontributionthroughtheperformance bonus system

The total compensation package also includes payment of a 13th month salary in line with Mauritian legislation which is normally paid in December and is calculated proportionately to the time of service during the year All employees receive a pay slip and salaries are paid on 26th of each month by standing order

42 Suppliers The MIoD has adopted a lsquoProcurement Policyrsquo to ensure that all procurement activities carried out by the MIoDbull provide best possible valuebull are conducted in a fair objective and transparent mannerbull are compliant with all relevant legislation and any other related policiesbull use best practice in the application of ethical standards andbull are consistent with the MIoDrsquos Vision Mission and Values

The choice of suppliers is influenced by the above mentioned objectives Although environmental benefits are considered as part of the procurement process with due consideration given to all relevant aspects of whole life-cycle costs of products the MIoD does not have a specific policy of preferring locally based suppliers

For some events and where a local capacity gap exists the MIoD has recourse to overseas facilitators to bring best practice to Mauritius

The MIoD intends to assess the geographical spread of its

procurement practices and report on the percentage of procurement budget which is spent on local suppliers in its next financial year At the same time the need to amend the procurement policy to promote local suppliers will also be considered

43 Recruitment Policy Under the Equal Opportunities Act 2008 (lsquoEOArsquo) an employer cannot discriminate against an employeeprospective employee on the basis of the following

The EOA also specifies that employers should be exclusively merit-oriented in their approach when it comes to selecting recruiting employing appraising promoting or dismissing an employee

Although the guidelines are not of a mandatory nature for the MIoD as it employs less than 10 employees on a full-time basis the MIoD is committed to a policy of equal opportunities

Its HR Policies amp Guidelines provides that no unlawful discrimination occurs in the recruitment and selection process on the grounds of race religion or belief colour sex age national origin disability or sexual orientation The MIoDrsquos HR Policy and Guidelines can be found on the website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepageAll employees are hired from the local community although this is not explicitly stated in our HR Policy and Guidelines

5 Environmental Performance51 MaterialsThe main consumable materials used by the MIoD are shown in this chart

52 Energy Consumption The only direct energy consumption relates to fossil fuel used in transportation by MIoD staff for work purposes This amounted to 94113 MJ for the reporting period Also the indirect energy used by MIoD relates to the consumption of electricity derived from the national electricity grid This was 10386 kWh electric for the reporting year ndash ie 11217 GJ thermal MIoD is not a producer of direct or indirect energiesInitiatives to reduce indirect energy consumption need to be investigated in the coming year This could for example include more energy-efficient lighting technologies A key constraint for the implementation of energy efficiency measures in office spaces is attributed to the fact that MIoD is only a tenant and such changes will have to be carried out by the building owner or manager

53 Water The MIoDrsquos consumption of water includes water delivered by the Central Water Authority water consumed from water fountains and bottled water for training workshops This was 26 m3year for the reporting period

54 Greenhouse Gas Emissions The total CO2 emissions of the MIoD has been estimated at 206 tonnes for the reporting period with direct and indirect emissions contributing 57 and 149 tonnes of CO2 respectively as follows bull IndirectemissionsofCO2 arose from the consumption of electricity and air travel This amounted to 107 tonnes and 42 tonnes of CO2 respectivelybull TotaldirectCO2 emissions related to land transport has been estimated at 57 tonnes of CO2 The estimation is based on the total distance travelled (km) during the reporting year an average fuel efficiency of 12 kmlitre of gasoline and the emission factor of motor gasoline

55 Waste All waste produced by MIoD and related to MIoD activities were sent to the landfill during the reporting period The main sources of waste were paper (350 kg or 035 tonnes) and plastic (37 kg or 0037 tonnes) By virtue of its activities MIoD does not deal with hazardous wastes of any kind

Provisions are recognised when the company has a present or constructive obligation as a result of past events which it is probable

will result in an outflow of economic benefits that can be reasonably estimated

(m) Impairment of assets

At the end of each reporting year the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangibles assets to determine

whether there is any indication of impairment If such indication exists the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to

determine the extent of the impairment loss An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the carrying amount of the

asset exceeds its recoverable amount which is the higher of an assetrsquos net selling price and value in use

3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(n) Plant and equipment

All plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost

Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost or revalued amount of the assets on a straight line basis over the expected useful

lives as follows-

Rate per annum

Leasehold improvement 25

Computer equipment 3333

Office furniture 25

Where assets have been acquired during the year charges to the statement of comprehensive income have been pro-rated

4 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Companyrsquos accounting policies which are described in note 3 the directors are required to make

judgements estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from

other sources The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to

be relevant Actual results may differ from these estimates

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in

the year in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that year or in the period of the revision and future periods if the

revision affects both current and future periods

Where applicable the notes to the financial statements set out areas where management has applied a higher degree of judgement

that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements or estimations and assumptions that have a

significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year

41 Key sources of estimation uncertainty

With regards to the nature of the Companyrsquos business there were no key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources

of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting year that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the

carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year

15 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

Interest rate sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for the non-derivative instruments at

the reporting date For floating rate assets the analysis is prepared assuming the amount of assets at the reporting date was owned

for the whole year A 50 basis point increase or decrease represents managementrsquos assessment of the reasonably possible change in

interest rates

If interest rates had been 50 basis points higherlower and all other variables were held constant the companyrsquos surplus for the year

ended30June2013wouldincreasedecreasebyRs44543(yearended30June2012increasedecreasebyRs33311)Thisismainly

attributable to the companyrsquos exposure to interest rates on its floating rate interest bearing asset The company does not have any

significant variable rate borrowings outstanding at year end

Liquidity risk management

The company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash and borrowing facilities by continuously monitoring forecast

and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities

The maturity profile of the financial instruments is summarised as follows

5 Founders and Patrons

The generous contributions and support of our Founders and Patrons were publicly acknowledged by the MIoD during the 5th anniversary celebrations where commemorative certificates were presented to them

With that milestone came also the end of the 5 year agreement that was made with the original Founders and Patrons They have all been approached to seek their continuing support for the MIoDrsquos work and we are pleased to report that 90 have so far agreed to renew their support for another period of five years

The trust placed in the MIoD by our Founders and Patrons helps us to continue in our mission to champion best business practices and effective corporate governance supporting Mauritius as a regional leader and to be the voice of Directors through training and certification programmes workshops and networking events advocacy research and thought leadership reaching out to both private and public sector enterprises

Founders and patrons contributed 35 of our revenue

6 Membership

Membership has increased by 27 and is in line with our target We are forecasting continued growth with 200 new members per annum for the next 3 years We have not been as successful in attracting Associates compared to other categories of members and we are in the process of reviewing the benefits package for Associates as well as our communications strategy for this market segment

63 of our members are directors but we continue to focus on the recruitment and nurturing of aspiring directors and young professionals who will be the directors of tomorrow

Membership retention is 91 over the 5 year life of the MIoD 40 of the loss of membership is due to members moving overseas ill health or no longer being professionally active and 30 for non-payment of membership fees

New partners are added from time to time so please consult our website wwwmiodmu for updatesMembership fees and affinity revenues currently account for 15 of the total MIoD revenue

7 Directorsrsquo Register

The Directorsrsquo Register (the Register) was set up in 2011 to enable companies to find suitable independent directors for their boards It is made up of Members and Fellows of the MIoD who are senior executives or directors from cross sections of industries and professions This is a free service for members and allows them to promote themselves as a potential independent director to sit on the boards of other organisations There is a small fee for companies who wish to undertake a search but a free search is offered to our Founders or Patrons and to registered NGOs as part of our Corporate Social Responsibility

We currently have 136 members on the Register and are happy to report that the 21 director search requests were received during 2012-3 Since January 2013 the demand has increased substantially and we believe there will be a higher number of search requests in the future as boards diversify and continue to implement good governance best practices

As from 1 September 2013 all new Members and Fellows of the MIoD will automatically be added to the Register upon receiving their membership confirmation

8 Training and Education

Our recent membersrsquo survey shows that membersrsquo satisfaction is overall very high at 97 In our aim to be customer driven and responsive membersrsquo feedback is greatly valued and very useful for reviewing the services we offer

Our members have received a new Membership Card this year entitling them to discounts on products and services with a growing number of affinity partners which include

Training and education continues to be one of the key activities of the MIoD Our partnership with high profile international trainers coupled with local trainers and local experts has enabled us to deliver high quality training workshops with a very high satisfaction rate The MIoD has been approved as a Training Institute by the Mauritius Qualifications Authority All the MIoD workshops are MQA approved and qualify for HRDC refunds as well as Continuing Professional Development (CPD) units

We continue to work closely with the IFC Global Corporate Governance Forum (GCGF) and the Ethics Institute of South Africa whose materials we mainly use for all our workshops

During last year we have invited several high profile overseas guest speakers and facilitators including Prof Mervyn King Dr Teodorina Lessidrenska Linda de Beer Chris Pierce Phil Armstrong Mike Saunders Bert van Walbeek Maggie Gorse Guillermo Miranda Prof Deon Rossouw Alison Dillon Kibirige and Dr Graeme Codrington

We ran a 5 day Ethics Officer Certification Programme in collaboration with the Ethics Institute of South Africa for the 3rd consecutive year and have now trained over 30 Ethics Officers in Mauritius

Also this year in collaboration with the GCGF we ran a Training of Trainers workshop facilitated by Chris Pierce thus increasing our trainers and facilitators pool to 11

The MIoD also relies heavily on local expertise in all its workshops and again thanks are due to all those local presenters who have provided their collaboration the past year especially the members of the National Committee on Corporate Governance

9 Corporate Services

We have continued to diversify our activities and the MIoD is increasingly being asked to help with Board and Board Committee Appraisals Corporate Governance Reporting Corporate Governance Assessments Ethics Risk Assessments Code of Conduct Development and Ethics Management Consulting Our Information and Guidance services are also regularly consulted

The revenue derived from these activities has been incuded this year under training and education but will be accounted separately next year

10 Events

The MIoD held 4 members events in the last year including a networking event held at the Blue Penny Museum in Port Louis and another at the Maritim Hotel Balaclava

The Annual Membersrsquo Meeting was held on 26 September 2012 with Philip Armstrong Head of the IFC Global Corporate Governance Forum as guest speaker talking on the topic ldquoSelecting a Board ndash An Art or a Sciencerdquo

The MIoD also celebrated its 5th anniversary this year at Angsana Balaclava Mauritius The guest of honour for the event was the President of the Republic of Mauritius His Excellency Mr Rajkeswur Purryag GCSK GOSK The event was attended by over 125 members and guests

Our thanks go to Phoenix Beverages for their sponsorship of all these membersrsquo events

11 Communications Visibility and Brand Development

The MIoD continues to build our brand recognition and increase our visibility with regular PR and media coverage We have received extended coverage throughout the year of our workshops our overseas and local facilitators who have been

interviewed in the press as well as interviews with the Chairman and the CEO Retainer spend media coverage was above target at 16 as was Advertising Value Equivalency at 125

Our members have received regular communications from us on our workshops and events as well as our quarterly on line newsletters and our membersrsquo survey

During this year the MIoD has also increased its visibility and communications on social media especially LinkedIN Facebook and Twitter

12 Advocacy and Publications

The MIoD is more and more being recognised as a key stakeholder in the corporate governance arena both locally and regionally

On the international front the MIoD has spearheaded along with the IoDSA the setting up of an African Corporate Governance Network and is working with 12 Directors Organisations from various African countries (Kenya Malawi Morocco Mozambique Nigeria Senegal Tanzania Uganda Zambia Zimbabwe as well as Mauritius and South Africa) towards the official launch of the African Corporate Governance Network in Mauritius on 16 October 2013 2 meetings of the ACGN have been held so far the first in Johannesburg sponsored by Standard Bank and the second in Harare sponsored by ACCA and attended by the World Bank the IFC NEPAD Business Foundation and Ernst amp Young

Locally the Directors Forum launched in January 2012 acts as an Advisory Council and a Technical Committee to the MIoD and has issued its first publication entitled lsquoBest Practice Guidelines for Appointment of Directorsrsquo A copy of the guideline and the resource pack can be obtained from the MIoD website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepage The Directors Forum sponsored by Phoenix Beverages and PwC is now working on its second publication ldquoAn Ethics Guide for Boardsrdquo

14 People Processes Technology

We have this year taken on two new team members bringing the team to 6 including the CEO Rizwana Eathally joined us as Membership amp Marketing Officer in October 2012 and Tioumitra (Ambrish) Maharahaje joined us as Executive Secretary in March 2013 taking over as the MIoD Company Secretary as well as Executive Secretary of the Directors Forum and the Audit Committee Forum managing the Directorsrsquo Register and leading future research projects

Last year we upgraded our accounts system with Pastel and this has proved an invaluable investment This year we have undertaken to build a new interactive website and integrated CRM Both are nearly finalised and should be fully operational in September 2013

All our processes at the MIoD are continually evolving and being reviewed as we grow We have reviewed this year our Accounting Membership and Training Procedures as well as the management of our Members and Directorsrsquo Registers

15 Finances

Although our membership has increased substantially and continues to grow and our training programme and corporate services have expanded the MIOD continues to rely on the contributions of its Founders and Patrons These contributions enable membership of the MIoD attendance at its events and use of its services to be accessible to the maximum number of people by keeping our fees at an affordable level

Accumulated funds have been placed on fixed deposits with the Mauritius Post and Cooperative Bank this being renegotiated at regular intervals

The MIoD has again this year made a small surplus of Rs 353508 for the year which is above targeted results

16 The Coming YearThe MIoD has a new three year business plan and will continue to focus on membership growth particularly for Associate members but also membership from the public sector and from more seasoned directors During the coming year we will

be undertaking a branding exercise to evaluate our image and encouraging greater stakeholder engagement to ensure excellent customer service and responsiveness through an Annual Members Forum and Survey and by establishing MOUs with key regulators

Ensuring high quality training and education remains a key objective by continuing to provide an innovative and interesting training programme with our team of 11 local trainers and consultants as well as high level overseas facilitators In 20134 this will include a Thought Leadership Programme and we hope to work more closely with the public sector We will also introduce information and consulting services and set up a Research unit to undertake research into directorsrsquo remuneration business ethics and board practices in Mauritius

The Audit Committee Forum will also start to operate and build capacity and the Directors Forum will continue to establish itself as the voice of Directors

As part of our Corporate Social Responsibility we will continue to offer pro-bono Directors Searches and Corporate Governance and Skills training for registered NGOs

We will follow up on the improvement of our Ecological Footprint by focusing on the reduction of our use of paper plastic and improving the quality of the food served at our workshops

Our new website will be launched shortly along with our new Customer Relationship Management system and our presence on LinkedIn Twitter and Facebook will be reinforced

The highlight of the coming year will undoubtedly be the launch of the African Corporate Governance Network on 16 October and our International Conference being organised in collaboration with the IoDSA on 17 and 18 October on the theme ldquoAfrica Rising Governance for Sustainability the Road Map for Value Creationrdquo with a big line up of distinguished speakers led by Baroness Lynda Chalker

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT

1Compliance StatementIn accordance with its mission statement the Mauritius Institute of Directors (lsquoMIoDrsquo or the lsquoCompanyrsquo) is committed to applying the principles of good corporate governance in its operations Rather than adopting a lsquotick the boxrsquo approach to complying with the Code the MIoD has embedded the principles of the Code in its day to day operations

During the year the MIoD has complied with all material aspects of the principles of the Code Given that it has only six employees the Board considers that it functions effectively with only one Executive Director namely the CEO

2Corporate Details and Holding StructureIncorporated in Mauritius as a public company limited by guarantee on 11 February 2008 the MIoD is a non-profit organization engaged in the promotion of good corporate governance in Mauritius and training and development

The rights powers duties and obligations of the Company the Board each director and the members of the Company are governed by the Constitution of the Company and the Companies Act 2001

The constitution of the MIoD provides that inter alia21 every member irrespective of his class of membership including a person who has been a member at any time within 12 months from the effective date of the winding up of the Institute shall in the event of the Company having a deficit in disposable assets over its liabilities contribute a maximum of one hundred (100) Mauritian Rupees to the assets of the Company in the event of it being wound up22 the monies collected shall be applied for the payment of the debts and liabilities of the Company and the payment of the costs charges and expenses associated with the winding up the Company and23 the Directors are prohibited from making any form of distribution including distributing dividends returns of capital income or profits of the Company to the Members However the Company shall use any surplus funds in any year to pursue the goals set out in Article 5 of this Constitution

The full version of the constitution is available on the MIoD website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepage

3 The BoardFrom 1 June 2012 to 7 February 2013 the Board of the MIoD was comprised of 12 directors (6 male and 6 female) of whom 11 were independent directors and one was classified as an Executive Director namely the Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

A vacancy arose on the Board on 7 February 2013 when Mrs Aruna Collendavelloo stepped down as director of the Company As there was no urgent need to appoint a replacement and on the recommendation of the Nominations and Membership Committee it was resolved that such vacancy would be filled at the Annual Meeting of Members (AMM) scheduled on 25 September 2013

The profiles of the directors are set out on pages 7 to 9 of the report

Mr Deva Armoogum was appointed as Chairman of the Board by his fellow directors following the AMM held on 26 September 2012

For the year under review the Board considered its composition as adequately balanced and that the directors had the appropriate range of skills expertise and experience required to carry out their duties properly in order to serve the interests of all the stakeholders and provide effective corporate governance

The Constitution of the Company provides that with the exception of the Chief Executive Officer every other director shall be eligible for reappointment for a maximum of five consecutive years

In line with the Code all directors who meet the eligibility criteria stand for re-election at the AMM on the recommendation of the Nominations and Membership Committee

Messrs Deva Armoogum Georges Leung Shing and Mrs Danielle Lagesse having reached their term of office will not stand for re-election at the next AMM Mr Vaughan Heberden has also indicated that he will be stepping down at the next AMM The Nominations and Membership Committee has thus reviewed the skills competencies and experience required to enable the Board to function efficiently as well as the profile of the directors eligible for re-election Their contribution to board and committee meetings were also considered

Pursuant to such review the Nominations and Membership Committee has recommended that the following directors be considered for re-election at the Annual Meeting

1 James Benoit2 Ravin Lama3 Heba Jangeerkhan4 Patricia Day-Hookoomsing5 Catherine Dvorak6 Richard Wooding

As regards the five remaining vacancies on the Board the Committee has recommended that candidates with a background in the legal and accounting fields as well as in corporate governance matters be considered for election as director of the Company

A notice inviting members to apply for consideration as director of the Company was issued on 21 May 2013

On appointment to the Board new directors receive a comprehensive induction pack from the Company Secretary and the CEO and have informal meetings with the Chairman fellow Board members Nominations and Membership Committee the CEO and the employees of the MIoD The functions and responsibilities of the Chairman and CEO are separate

The Chairman and the CEO in collaboration with the Company Secretary agreed on the Board meeting calendar for the year and the Board meeting agendas in advance to ensure adequate coverage of key issues throughout the year Board packs are usually sent to the directors five days in advance

All directors have access to the Company Secretary and CEO to discuss issues or to obtain information on specific areas or items to be considered at Board meetings or any other area they consider appropriate Directors attend Board meetings unless exceptional circumstances prevent them from so doing

1 Report Content and Reporting ParametersThis report marks two significant milestones for the MIoD It is the MIoDrsquos first Integrated Report and it also marks the first time that the GRI framework has been adopted for sustainability reporting by the MIoD These milestones are timely and are squarely aligned with MIoDrsquos position in the market to promote corporate sustainability and to lead by exampleThe integrated report has adopted the G31 guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative and it reflects MIoDrsquos commitment to provide a transparent and fair review of its strategy performance and activities in 2012-3 to its stakeholders The triple bottom line reporting has endeavoured to provide an open and honest summary of the social economic and environmental impacts stemming from our activities and commitments practices objectives and performance results regarding the management of our impacts The report contains a combination of quantitative and qualitative impactsMIoD has also adopted a learning-by-doing approach to internalise integrated sustainability reporting as a strategic management tool To reflect this approach we have realised this report in the GRI Level C application with the view that MIoD will graduate progressively to higher level reporting over time It is understood that the learning-by-doing approach implies that the processes tools and methodologies applied to identify prioritise and validate report content and reporting parameters will evolve over time Nevertheless the processes tools and methodologies are systemic and have been applied systematically to allow year-on-year comparisons of MIoDrsquos performance This is even more so because MIoD is a relatively young organisation that holds a unique position vis-agrave-vis its stakeholdersWe have used GRI Reporting Standard principles in determining the scope of the report content structure and quality and data calculation and disclosure techniques The content of this report discloses MIoDrsquos performance for the period starting July 1 2012 and ending June 30 2013

2 Report Scope amp BoundaryThe activities of MIoD cover the geographical area of the Republic of Mauritius and most of these activities take place in the island of Mauritius The report boundary is therefore the activities of MIoD in Mauritius In addition to GRIrsquos Sustainability Reporting Guidelines (GRI 31) the report also follows the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for financial reporting and the Code of Corporate Governance of Mauritius 2004 Boundaries for non-financial data collection are consistent with our financial reporting thus aligning financial environmental and social reporting Since stakeholder inclusiveness is a cross-cutting issue in determining the content and scope of reporting we have attempted to take into consideration the expectations of our stakeholders as well as to quantify or qualify the impacts of our activities on their well-being including present and future considerations and to take remedial actions Our stakeholder engagement processes are discussed below

3 Determining Report ContentGuided by the G31 reporting guidelines and principles and technical protocol the following criteria have been observed in preparing this reportStakeholder inclusivenessStakeholder identification and engagement have been carried out using a combination of three methods namely (1) market knowledge by virtue of being the main organization mandated to foster the development of corporate governance at the level of Boards and upper management in Mauritius (2) value-chain analysis to establish the entire supply chain of MIoDrsquos services including the enabling environment and business providers and (3) on-going surveys with existing and potential members

The stakeholders of the MIoD are set out below

MIoD appreciates the benefits derived from stakeholder engagement and endeavours to maintain close proximity with key stakeholders We carry out membership surveys ethics risk assessments and on-going evaluations of our training programmes to identify and address issues that are relevant to our stakeholders and also to engage our stakeholders in assessing MIoDrsquos performance risks and opportunities For instance the following examples are pertinent

Sustainability ContextAs a leading organization promoting corporate sustainability we consider sustainability as an integral aspect of our decision-making process and of the way we do business on the economic social and environmental fronts This is important on two counts namely (1) the increasing awareness in the Mauritian public and private sector for mainstreaming the three pillars of sustainable development and (2) the recognition that corporate sustainability can be a significant comparative advantage and differentiation strategy It is worth mentioning here that MIoDrsquos Integrated Report is squarely aligned with the newly adopted Maurice Ile Durable (MID) Policy Strategy and Action Plan of Mauritius especially concerning lsquoenhancing the corporate environment social responsibility and accountabilityrsquo (wwwmidmu ndash accessed 12 July 2013) The sectorial MID Strategy for employmenteconomy specifically refers to the use of GRI as a benchmark for developing a Sustainability Index for publicly listed companies

CompletenessWe have ensured that all the material topics and indicators covered in this report reflect completely the significant economic environmental and social impacts of our activities and enable our stakeholders to assess our performance in 2012-3 effectively

BalanceWe have attempted to present an unbiased picture of our performance by avoiding selections omissions or presentation formats that are reasonably likely to unduly or inappropriately influence the readerrsquos decision or judgment The report provides both favourable and unfavourable results as well as results that can influence the decisions of stakeholders in proportion to their materiality This is a commitment to MIoDrsquos transparency

ComparabilitySince this is the first integrated sustainability report results present the baseline data and information against which comparative performance analysis will be carried out in the future

AccuracyThe different data in this report have been presented both on a qualitative and quantitative basis In any case we have ensured openness in measurements and qualitative analyses while bearing in mind that data would need to be verifiable While the non-financial components of the present report have not been subject to an independent third party audit the processes methodologies and tools for generating and analysing quantitative and qualitative data were adopted because they lend themselves to such audits Where applicable such as in the case of Ecological Footprint analysis discussed below error analysis is provided to deal with uncertainties in measurements

TimelinessThis report will be issued for the purpose of the Annual Meeting of Members on 25 September 2013 It will enable all our stakeholders to assess this report and provide us with relevant feedback for future reporting This open review process forms an integral part of the learning-by-doing approach

ClarityThis report has been presented in a manner that is understandable accessible and usable by our stakeholders As far as practicable graphics and data tables have been used to present information

ReliabilityInformation and processes used in the preparation of this report have been consistently gathered recorded compiled analysed and disclosed in a way that has been subject to constant examination by a competent internal team together with the help of an external consultancy firm with experience in integrated sustainability reporting using the GRI G31 Reporting Guidelines and Principles

MaterialityAccording to the GRI G31 Guidelines materiality has to be determined by considering the economic environmental and social impacts that cross a threshold in affecting the ability to

meet the needs of the present without compromising the needs of future generations Since the identification of thresholds is not trivial especially when considering long-term impacts or impacts where root causes and their effects are delocalised geographically and across different time horizons the methodology applied by MIoD to gauge materiality is evolving as it strives to better integrate sustainability across its entire spectrum of operations and services The underlying approach is to identify and prioritise those impacts that have a propensity to create preserve or erode economic environmental and social value for itself and its stakeholders In order to be methodological and systematic a combination of approaches has been used to determine materiality and the contents of this reportbull ThelegalrequirementsoftheRepublicofMauritiusInmanyinstances the operating legal framework prescribes minimum or allowable socio-economic and environmental impacts and these thresholds are usually identified because of their materialitybull Adoptionofathoroughriskmanagementprocessthatallowsus to assess and mitigate the impacts of our operations (and vice versa) beyond the financial imperative The risk management process also makes visible opportunities to better serve our stakeholdersbull Bykeepingacloseproximitywithourstakeholdersasexplained above under lsquoStakeholder Inclusivenessrsquobull IdentificationofinternalissuesthroughmeetingswithMIoDteam members as well as subscribing to continuous learning to better adhere to our policies values strategies targets and risk management processes andbull CarryingoutanEcologicalFootprintanalysisofouroperationsthat cover the impacts of the following (1) food (mainly provided by third parties during delivery of MIoD training) (2) consumables (3) utilities buildings and transport and (4) waste The first Ecological Footprint analysis was carried out for the calendar year 2012 (a copy of the report can be obtained from our website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepage) and its results and recommendations were approved by the MIoDrsquos Board of Directors on 5 December 2012 The time period for the Ecological Footprint analysis has been revised to match the reporting period July 2012-June 2013 and the Footprint updated The analysis has been used to quantify impacts identify impacts of most significance and provide a basis for taking remedial actions across the value chain as discussed in this report Ecological Footprint analysis has been adopted as one way to deal with the difficulties in establishing thresholds for sustainability impacts The Ecological Footprint analysis also captures the ecological impacts of services delivered (except for electricity and primary energy consumption) by third party venues during MIoD training

MIoDrsquos materiality framework is evolving We are confident that the results presented here are sufficiently robust to instil confidence in the quality of the report The integrated Sustainability Report should be read in conjunction with our online resources

Validation is currently essentially an internally orientated process with authorisation by the CEO and Executive Secretary and ultimate approval of the Integrated Report by the Board of Directors

Performance indicators have been chosen for reporting purposes based on three main factors1 Results of the Ecological Footprint Analysis2 Our ability or maturity to respond and3 The opportunity for MIoD to grow and gain advantage from the impacts

The calculation of Performance Indicators has followed the GRI Indicator Protocols GHG emissions arising from the use of electricity has been calculated from the Grid Emission Factor of Mauritius using the methodological tool 07 ndash ie ldquoTool to calculate the emission factor for an electricity system (Version 0300) - proposed by the Clean Development Mechanism for calculating the operating margin (httpcdmunfcccintmethodologiesPAmethodologiestoolsam-tool-07-v300pdf )rdquo GHG emissions arising from business-related air travel have been calculated using the official ICAO online calculator (httpwww2icaointencarbonoffsetPagesdefaultaspx)

Re-statements of information are not applicable to MIoDrsquos first Integrated Report

4 Market Position41 Range of Ratios of Standard Entry Level Wage by Gender The MIoD does not differentiate salaries on the basis of gender nor do we have a standard entry wage level for employees Entry salaries are based on industry and market benchmarks the entrantrsquos educational level and relevant experience The Board Nominations Committee is responsible for reviewing and recommending to the Board any changes to employeesrsquo remuneration Employees are rewarded for their contribution to the Companyrsquos performance based on their performance against annual KPIs and the companyrsquos financial position

The MIoD employs 5 staff excluding the CEO ndash 3 female and 2 male The lowest male basic salary is Rs 28618 and the lowest female basic monthly salary is Rs 14478 There is no official minimum wage in Mauritius in our sector However as per the Ministry of Labour and the National Remuneration Order for Travel Agents and Tour Operators Workers a similar service sector the minimum wages prescribed for comparable jobs are as follows

bull SeniorAccountsClerkRs10306bull AdministrativeClerkRs8717

Mauritius Institute of Directors - IntegratedReport Mauritius Institute of Directors - IntegratedReport32 33

Based on this methodology the ratio of entry level wage by gender compared to local minimum wage for comparable jobs is 126 for male staff and 117 for female staff The apparent difference between the two ratios does not imply gender bias at MIoD since for any specific position a male or female employee would receive the same remuneration all else being equal

The MIoD is focused on continually developing a workforce that is dedicated motivated and well trained in order to assure the Institutersquos future development and growth as well as providing long term employment for individual employees

To achieve this goal the MIoD provides competitive compensation and certain social benefits to all employees while maintaining a positive work environment The MIoD is committed to providing a total compensation package that enables the Institute to attract and retain skilled employees for all positions A competitive total compensation package includes an effective salary and a benefits plan which aims tobull payafairbasicsalaryforthejobbybenchmarkingagainst similar jobs and similar organisations in Mauritius and taking into consideration internal equity specific job requirements and the skills knowledge and abilities of the employeebull providebasicbenefitsandbull recogniseindividualcontributionthroughtheperformance bonus system

The total compensation package also includes payment of a 13th month salary in line with Mauritian legislation which is normally paid in December and is calculated proportionately to the time of service during the year All employees receive a pay slip and salaries are paid on 26th of each month by standing order

42 Suppliers The MIoD has adopted a lsquoProcurement Policyrsquo to ensure that all procurement activities carried out by the MIoDbull provide best possible valuebull are conducted in a fair objective and transparent mannerbull are compliant with all relevant legislation and any other related policiesbull use best practice in the application of ethical standards andbull are consistent with the MIoDrsquos Vision Mission and Values

The choice of suppliers is influenced by the above mentioned objectives Although environmental benefits are considered as part of the procurement process with due consideration given to all relevant aspects of whole life-cycle costs of products the MIoD does not have a specific policy of preferring locally based suppliers

For some events and where a local capacity gap exists the MIoD has recourse to overseas facilitators to bring best practice to Mauritius

The MIoD intends to assess the geographical spread of its

procurement practices and report on the percentage of procurement budget which is spent on local suppliers in its next financial year At the same time the need to amend the procurement policy to promote local suppliers will also be considered

43 Recruitment Policy Under the Equal Opportunities Act 2008 (lsquoEOArsquo) an employer cannot discriminate against an employeeprospective employee on the basis of the following

The EOA also specifies that employers should be exclusively merit-oriented in their approach when it comes to selecting recruiting employing appraising promoting or dismissing an employee

Although the guidelines are not of a mandatory nature for the MIoD as it employs less than 10 employees on a full-time basis the MIoD is committed to a policy of equal opportunities

Its HR Policies amp Guidelines provides that no unlawful discrimination occurs in the recruitment and selection process on the grounds of race religion or belief colour sex age national origin disability or sexual orientation The MIoDrsquos HR Policy and Guidelines can be found on the website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepageAll employees are hired from the local community although this is not explicitly stated in our HR Policy and Guidelines

5 Environmental Performance51 MaterialsThe main consumable materials used by the MIoD are shown in this chart

52 Energy Consumption The only direct energy consumption relates to fossil fuel used in transportation by MIoD staff for work purposes This amounted to 94113 MJ for the reporting period Also the indirect energy used by MIoD relates to the consumption of electricity derived from the national electricity grid This was 10386 kWh electric for the reporting year ndash ie 11217 GJ thermal MIoD is not a producer of direct or indirect energiesInitiatives to reduce indirect energy consumption need to be investigated in the coming year This could for example include more energy-efficient lighting technologies A key constraint for the implementation of energy efficiency measures in office spaces is attributed to the fact that MIoD is only a tenant and such changes will have to be carried out by the building owner or manager

53 Water The MIoDrsquos consumption of water includes water delivered by the Central Water Authority water consumed from water fountains and bottled water for training workshops This was 26 m3year for the reporting period

54 Greenhouse Gas Emissions The total CO2 emissions of the MIoD has been estimated at 206 tonnes for the reporting period with direct and indirect emissions contributing 57 and 149 tonnes of CO2 respectively as follows bull IndirectemissionsofCO2 arose from the consumption of electricity and air travel This amounted to 107 tonnes and 42 tonnes of CO2 respectivelybull TotaldirectCO2 emissions related to land transport has been estimated at 57 tonnes of CO2 The estimation is based on the total distance travelled (km) during the reporting year an average fuel efficiency of 12 kmlitre of gasoline and the emission factor of motor gasoline

55 Waste All waste produced by MIoD and related to MIoD activities were sent to the landfill during the reporting period The main sources of waste were paper (350 kg or 035 tonnes) and plastic (37 kg or 0037 tonnes) By virtue of its activities MIoD does not deal with hazardous wastes of any kind

56 Mitigation of Environmental Impacts Following the Ecological Footprint Report undertaken in 2012 three areas were highlighted that needed attention

(i) food (mainly provided by third parties during delivery of MIoD trainings) (ii) consumables and(iii) waste management

In this respect the MIoD has undertaken in the financial year 2013-4 to bull workwithourkeythirdpartyfoodsupplierstoimprovethequality of the food offered during our training sessions especially taking into account the health problems in Mauritian society such as diabetes and to reduce our ecological footprint in this respect We have also engaged the advice of a nutritionistbull reducetheamountofplasticthatwepurchasebothinourownoffice but also through our third party suppliers In this respect we now have a water dispenser delivered to each training venue on the day of our training workshop to avoid the use of plastic bottles for our training sessions The next step is to work with our suppliers to encourage them to adopt this practicebull reducetheamountofpaperandinthisrespectwehaveagreedwith our Board Directors that effective August 2013 that we will no longer use paper but instead adopt appropriate laptop or tablet software for board papers During this year we will also undertake a complete review of our use of paper especially the printing of training manuals and see if we can fully or partially adopt alternative solutions to reduce our footprint The objective over time must be to become paperless We also intend to meet with the Registrar of Companies to lobby for the reduction in printing of Annual Reports and to allow shareholders to receive a soft copy and opt for a hard copy by exceptionbull ensurethatallouroldelectronicgoodssuchasprintersorcomputers are properly recycled using genuine recyclers andbull workwithourlandlordstointroducerecyclingbinsforallthetenants in our building Raffles Tower

57 Total Environmental Protection Expenditure and InvestmentTo date the MIoD has invested in consultancy services to help it calculate its Ecological Footprint and produce its first Integrated Report at a total cost of Rs 150000 The Ecological Footprint calculation is the benchmark for reducing our footprint in the future

6 Social61 Risks Related to Corruption An ethics risk assessment which also covered corruption risks was undertaken in 2011-2 The assessment covered all the activities of the MIoD Thereafter the MIoD Code of Conduct was reviewed and revised to address ethical conduct within the Company and by its members A Whistleblowing Policy has also been implemented The Ethics Risk Assessment Report and the MIoD Whistleblowing Policy can be found on the MIoD website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepage

be relevant Actual results may differ from these estimates

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in

revision affects both current and future periods

Where applicable the notes to the financial statements set out areas where management has applied a higher degree of judgement

that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements or estimations and assumptions that have a

significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year

With regards to the nature of the Companyrsquos business there were no key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources

of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting year that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the

the reporting date For floating rate assets the analysis is prepared assuming the amount of assets at the reporting date was owned

for the whole year A 50 basis point increase or decrease represents managementrsquos assessment of the reasonably possible change in

interest rates

If interest rates had been 50 basis points higherlower and all other variables were held constant the companyrsquos surplus for the year

ended30June2013wouldincreasedecreasebyRs44543(yearended30June2012increasedecreasebyRs33311)Thisismainly

attributable to the companyrsquos exposure to interest rates on its floating rate interest bearing asset The company does not have any

significant variable rate borrowings outstanding at year end

Liquidity risk management

The company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash and borrowing facilities by continuously monitoring forecast

and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities

14 People Processes Technology

We have this year taken on two new team members bringing the team to 6 including the CEO Rizwana Eathally joined us as Membership amp Marketing Officer in October 2012 and Tioumitra (Ambrish) Maharahaje joined us as Executive Secretary in March 2013 taking over as the MIoD Company Secretary as well as Executive Secretary of the Directors Forum and the Audit Committee Forum managing the Directorsrsquo Register and leading future research projects

Last year we upgraded our accounts system with Pastel and this has proved an invaluable investment This year we have undertaken to build a new interactive website and integrated CRM Both are nearly finalised and should be fully operational in September 2013

All our processes at the MIoD are continually evolving and being reviewed as we grow We have reviewed this year our Accounting Membership and Training Procedures as well as the management of our Members and Directorsrsquo Registers

15 Finances

Although our membership has increased substantially and continues to grow and our training programme and corporate services have expanded the MIOD continues to rely on the contributions of its Founders and Patrons These contributions enable membership of the MIoD attendance at its events and use of its services to be accessible to the maximum number of people by keeping our fees at an affordable level

Accumulated funds have been placed on fixed deposits with the Mauritius Post and Cooperative Bank this being renegotiated at regular intervals

The MIoD has again this year made a small surplus of Rs 353508 for the year which is above targeted results

16 The Coming YearThe MIoD has a new three year business plan and will continue to focus on membership growth particularly for Associate members but also membership from the public sector and from more seasoned directors During the coming year we will

be undertaking a branding exercise to evaluate our image and encouraging greater stakeholder engagement to ensure excellent customer service and responsiveness through an Annual Members Forum and Survey and by establishing MOUs with key regulators

Ensuring high quality training and education remains a key objective by continuing to provide an innovative and interesting training programme with our team of 11 local trainers and consultants as well as high level overseas facilitators In 20134 this will include a Thought Leadership Programme and we hope to work more closely with the public sector We will also introduce information and consulting services and set up a Research unit to undertake research into directorsrsquo remuneration business ethics and board practices in Mauritius

The Audit Committee Forum will also start to operate and build capacity and the Directors Forum will continue to establish itself as the voice of Directors

As part of our Corporate Social Responsibility we will continue to offer pro-bono Directors Searches and Corporate Governance and Skills training for registered NGOs

We will follow up on the improvement of our Ecological Footprint by focusing on the reduction of our use of paper plastic and improving the quality of the food served at our workshops

Our new website will be launched shortly along with our new Customer Relationship Management system and our presence on LinkedIn Twitter and Facebook will be reinforced

The highlight of the coming year will undoubtedly be the launch of the African Corporate Governance Network on 16 October and our International Conference being organised in collaboration with the IoDSA on 17 and 18 October on the theme ldquoAfrica Rising Governance for Sustainability the Road Map for Value Creationrdquo with a big line up of distinguished speakers led by Baroness Lynda Chalker

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT

1Compliance StatementIn accordance with its mission statement the Mauritius Institute of Directors (lsquoMIoDrsquo or the lsquoCompanyrsquo) is committed to applying the principles of good corporate governance in its operations Rather than adopting a lsquotick the boxrsquo approach to complying with the Code the MIoD has embedded the principles of the Code in its day to day operations

During the year the MIoD has complied with all material aspects of the principles of the Code Given that it has only six employees the Board considers that it functions effectively with only one Executive Director namely the CEO

2Corporate Details and Holding StructureIncorporated in Mauritius as a public company limited by guarantee on 11 February 2008 the MIoD is a non-profit organization engaged in the promotion of good corporate governance in Mauritius and training and development

The rights powers duties and obligations of the Company the Board each director and the members of the Company are governed by the Constitution of the Company and the Companies Act 2001

The constitution of the MIoD provides that inter alia21 every member irrespective of his class of membership including a person who has been a member at any time within 12 months from the effective date of the winding up of the Institute shall in the event of the Company having a deficit in disposable assets over its liabilities contribute a maximum of one hundred (100) Mauritian Rupees to the assets of the Company in the event of it being wound up22 the monies collected shall be applied for the payment of the debts and liabilities of the Company and the payment of the costs charges and expenses associated with the winding up the Company and23 the Directors are prohibited from making any form of distribution including distributing dividends returns of capital income or profits of the Company to the Members However the Company shall use any surplus funds in any year to pursue the goals set out in Article 5 of this Constitution

The full version of the constitution is available on the MIoD website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepage

3 The BoardFrom 1 June 2012 to 7 February 2013 the Board of the MIoD was comprised of 12 directors (6 male and 6 female) of whom 11 were independent directors and one was classified as an Executive Director namely the Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

A vacancy arose on the Board on 7 February 2013 when Mrs Aruna Collendavelloo stepped down as director of the Company As there was no urgent need to appoint a replacement and on the recommendation of the Nominations and Membership Committee it was resolved that such vacancy would be filled at the Annual Meeting of Members (AMM) scheduled on 25 September 2013

The profiles of the directors are set out on pages 7 to 9 of the report

Mr Deva Armoogum was appointed as Chairman of the Board by his fellow directors following the AMM held on 26 September 2012

For the year under review the Board considered its composition as adequately balanced and that the directors had the appropriate range of skills expertise and experience required to carry out their duties properly in order to serve the interests of all the stakeholders and provide effective corporate governance

The Constitution of the Company provides that with the exception of the Chief Executive Officer every other director shall be eligible for reappointment for a maximum of five consecutive years

In line with the Code all directors who meet the eligibility criteria stand for re-election at the AMM on the recommendation of the Nominations and Membership Committee

Messrs Deva Armoogum Georges Leung Shing and Mrs Danielle Lagesse having reached their term of office will not stand for re-election at the next AMM Mr Vaughan Heberden has also indicated that he will be stepping down at the next AMM The Nominations and Membership Committee has thus reviewed the skills competencies and experience required to enable the Board to function efficiently as well as the profile of the directors eligible for re-election Their contribution to board and committee meetings were also considered

Pursuant to such review the Nominations and Membership Committee has recommended that the following directors be considered for re-election at the Annual Meeting

1 James Benoit2 Ravin Lama3 Heba Jangeerkhan4 Patricia Day-Hookoomsing5 Catherine Dvorak6 Richard Wooding

As regards the five remaining vacancies on the Board the Committee has recommended that candidates with a background in the legal and accounting fields as well as in corporate governance matters be considered for election as director of the Company

A notice inviting members to apply for consideration as director of the Company was issued on 21 May 2013

On appointment to the Board new directors receive a comprehensive induction pack from the Company Secretary and the CEO and have informal meetings with the Chairman fellow Board members Nominations and Membership Committee the CEO and the employees of the MIoD The functions and responsibilities of the Chairman and CEO are separate

The Chairman and the CEO in collaboration with the Company Secretary agreed on the Board meeting calendar for the year and the Board meeting agendas in advance to ensure adequate coverage of key issues throughout the year Board packs are usually sent to the directors five days in advance

All directors have access to the Company Secretary and CEO to discuss issues or to obtain information on specific areas or items to be considered at Board meetings or any other area they consider appropriate Directors attend Board meetings unless exceptional circumstances prevent them from so doing

1 Report Content and Reporting ParametersThis report marks two significant milestones for the MIoD It is the MIoDrsquos first Integrated Report and it also marks the first time that the GRI framework has been adopted for sustainability reporting by the MIoD These milestones are timely and are squarely aligned with MIoDrsquos position in the market to promote corporate sustainability and to lead by exampleThe integrated report has adopted the G31 guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative and it reflects MIoDrsquos commitment to provide a transparent and fair review of its strategy performance and activities in 2012-3 to its stakeholders The triple bottom line reporting has endeavoured to provide an open and honest summary of the social economic and environmental impacts stemming from our activities and commitments practices objectives and performance results regarding the management of our impacts The report contains a combination of quantitative and qualitative impactsMIoD has also adopted a learning-by-doing approach to internalise integrated sustainability reporting as a strategic management tool To reflect this approach we have realised this report in the GRI Level C application with the view that MIoD will graduate progressively to higher level reporting over time It is understood that the learning-by-doing approach implies that the processes tools and methodologies applied to identify prioritise and validate report content and reporting parameters will evolve over time Nevertheless the processes tools and methodologies are systemic and have been applied systematically to allow year-on-year comparisons of MIoDrsquos performance This is even more so because MIoD is a relatively young organisation that holds a unique position vis-agrave-vis its stakeholdersWe have used GRI Reporting Standard principles in determining the scope of the report content structure and quality and data calculation and disclosure techniques The content of this report discloses MIoDrsquos performance for the period starting July 1 2012 and ending June 30 2013

2 Report Scope amp BoundaryThe activities of MIoD cover the geographical area of the Republic of Mauritius and most of these activities take place in the island of Mauritius The report boundary is therefore the activities of MIoD in Mauritius In addition to GRIrsquos Sustainability Reporting Guidelines (GRI 31) the report also follows the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for financial reporting and the Code of Corporate Governance of Mauritius 2004 Boundaries for non-financial data collection are consistent with our financial reporting thus aligning financial environmental and social reporting Since stakeholder inclusiveness is a cross-cutting issue in determining the content and scope of reporting we have attempted to take into consideration the expectations of our stakeholders as well as to quantify or qualify the impacts of our activities on their well-being including present and future considerations and to take remedial actions Our stakeholder engagement processes are discussed below

3 Determining Report ContentGuided by the G31 reporting guidelines and principles and technical protocol the following criteria have been observed in preparing this reportStakeholder inclusivenessStakeholder identification and engagement have been carried out using a combination of three methods namely (1) market knowledge by virtue of being the main organization mandated to foster the development of corporate governance at the level of Boards and upper management in Mauritius (2) value-chain analysis to establish the entire supply chain of MIoDrsquos services including the enabling environment and business providers and (3) on-going surveys with existing and potential members

The stakeholders of the MIoD are set out below

MIoD appreciates the benefits derived from stakeholder engagement and endeavours to maintain close proximity with key stakeholders We carry out membership surveys ethics risk assessments and on-going evaluations of our training programmes to identify and address issues that are relevant to our stakeholders and also to engage our stakeholders in assessing MIoDrsquos performance risks and opportunities For instance the following examples are pertinent

Sustainability ContextAs a leading organization promoting corporate sustainability we consider sustainability as an integral aspect of our decision-making process and of the way we do business on the economic social and environmental fronts This is important on two counts namely (1) the increasing awareness in the Mauritian public and private sector for mainstreaming the three pillars of sustainable development and (2) the recognition that corporate sustainability can be a significant comparative advantage and differentiation strategy It is worth mentioning here that MIoDrsquos Integrated Report is squarely aligned with the newly adopted Maurice Ile Durable (MID) Policy Strategy and Action Plan of Mauritius especially concerning lsquoenhancing the corporate environment social responsibility and accountabilityrsquo (wwwmidmu ndash accessed 12 July 2013) The sectorial MID Strategy for employmenteconomy specifically refers to the use of GRI as a benchmark for developing a Sustainability Index for publicly listed companies

CompletenessWe have ensured that all the material topics and indicators covered in this report reflect completely the significant economic environmental and social impacts of our activities and enable our stakeholders to assess our performance in 2012-3 effectively

BalanceWe have attempted to present an unbiased picture of our performance by avoiding selections omissions or presentation formats that are reasonably likely to unduly or inappropriately influence the readerrsquos decision or judgment The report provides both favourable and unfavourable results as well as results that can influence the decisions of stakeholders in proportion to their materiality This is a commitment to MIoDrsquos transparency

ComparabilitySince this is the first integrated sustainability report results present the baseline data and information against which comparative performance analysis will be carried out in the future

AccuracyThe different data in this report have been presented both on a qualitative and quantitative basis In any case we have ensured openness in measurements and qualitative analyses while bearing in mind that data would need to be verifiable While the non-financial components of the present report have not been subject to an independent third party audit the processes methodologies and tools for generating and analysing quantitative and qualitative data were adopted because they lend themselves to such audits Where applicable such as in the case of Ecological Footprint analysis discussed below error analysis is provided to deal with uncertainties in measurements

TimelinessThis report will be issued for the purpose of the Annual Meeting of Members on 25 September 2013 It will enable all our stakeholders to assess this report and provide us with relevant feedback for future reporting This open review process forms an integral part of the learning-by-doing approach

ClarityThis report has been presented in a manner that is understandable accessible and usable by our stakeholders As far as practicable graphics and data tables have been used to present information

ReliabilityInformation and processes used in the preparation of this report have been consistently gathered recorded compiled analysed and disclosed in a way that has been subject to constant examination by a competent internal team together with the help of an external consultancy firm with experience in integrated sustainability reporting using the GRI G31 Reporting Guidelines and Principles

MaterialityAccording to the GRI G31 Guidelines materiality has to be determined by considering the economic environmental and social impacts that cross a threshold in affecting the ability to

meet the needs of the present without compromising the needs of future generations Since the identification of thresholds is not trivial especially when considering long-term impacts or impacts where root causes and their effects are delocalised geographically and across different time horizons the methodology applied by MIoD to gauge materiality is evolving as it strives to better integrate sustainability across its entire spectrum of operations and services The underlying approach is to identify and prioritise those impacts that have a propensity to create preserve or erode economic environmental and social value for itself and its stakeholders In order to be methodological and systematic a combination of approaches has been used to determine materiality and the contents of this reportbull ThelegalrequirementsoftheRepublicofMauritiusInmanyinstances the operating legal framework prescribes minimum or allowable socio-economic and environmental impacts and these thresholds are usually identified because of their materialitybull Adoptionofathoroughriskmanagementprocessthatallowsus to assess and mitigate the impacts of our operations (and vice versa) beyond the financial imperative The risk management process also makes visible opportunities to better serve our stakeholdersbull Bykeepingacloseproximitywithourstakeholdersasexplained above under lsquoStakeholder Inclusivenessrsquobull IdentificationofinternalissuesthroughmeetingswithMIoDteam members as well as subscribing to continuous learning to better adhere to our policies values strategies targets and risk management processes andbull CarryingoutanEcologicalFootprintanalysisofouroperationsthat cover the impacts of the following (1) food (mainly provided by third parties during delivery of MIoD training) (2) consumables (3) utilities buildings and transport and (4) waste The first Ecological Footprint analysis was carried out for the calendar year 2012 (a copy of the report can be obtained from our website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepage) and its results and recommendations were approved by the MIoDrsquos Board of Directors on 5 December 2012 The time period for the Ecological Footprint analysis has been revised to match the reporting period July 2012-June 2013 and the Footprint updated The analysis has been used to quantify impacts identify impacts of most significance and provide a basis for taking remedial actions across the value chain as discussed in this report Ecological Footprint analysis has been adopted as one way to deal with the difficulties in establishing thresholds for sustainability impacts The Ecological Footprint analysis also captures the ecological impacts of services delivered (except for electricity and primary energy consumption) by third party venues during MIoD training

MIoDrsquos materiality framework is evolving We are confident that the results presented here are sufficiently robust to instil confidence in the quality of the report The integrated Sustainability Report should be read in conjunction with our online resources

Validation is currently essentially an internally orientated process with authorisation by the CEO and Executive Secretary and ultimate approval of the Integrated Report by the Board of Directors

Performance indicators have been chosen for reporting purposes based on three main factors1 Results of the Ecological Footprint Analysis2 Our ability or maturity to respond and3 The opportunity for MIoD to grow and gain advantage from the impacts

The calculation of Performance Indicators has followed the GRI Indicator Protocols GHG emissions arising from the use of electricity has been calculated from the Grid Emission Factor of Mauritius using the methodological tool 07 ndash ie ldquoTool to calculate the emission factor for an electricity system (Version 0300) - proposed by the Clean Development Mechanism for calculating the operating margin (httpcdmunfcccintmethodologiesPAmethodologiestoolsam-tool-07-v300pdf )rdquo GHG emissions arising from business-related air travel have been calculated using the official ICAO online calculator (httpwww2icaointencarbonoffsetPagesdefaultaspx)

4 Market Position41 Range of Ratios of Standard Entry Level Wage by Gender The MIoD does not differentiate salaries on the basis of gender nor do we have a standard entry wage level for employees Entry salaries are based on industry and market benchmarks the entrantrsquos educational level and relevant experience The Board Nominations Committee is responsible for reviewing and recommending to the Board any changes to employeesrsquo remuneration Employees are rewarded for their contribution to the Companyrsquos performance based on their performance against annual KPIs and the companyrsquos financial position

The MIoD employs 5 staff excluding the CEO ndash 3 female and 2 male The lowest male basic salary is Rs 28618 and the lowest female basic monthly salary is Rs 14478 There is no official minimum wage in Mauritius in our sector However as per the Ministry of Labour and the National Remuneration Order for Travel Agents and Tour Operators Workers a similar service sector the minimum wages prescribed for comparable jobs are as follows

bull SeniorAccountsClerkRs10306bull AdministrativeClerkRs8717

Mauritius Institute of Directors - IntegratedReport Mauritius Institute of Directors - IntegratedReport32 33

Based on this methodology the ratio of entry level wage by gender compared to local minimum wage for comparable jobs is 126 for male staff and 117 for female staff The apparent difference between the two ratios does not imply gender bias at MIoD since for any specific position a male or female employee would receive the same remuneration all else being equal

The MIoD is focused on continually developing a workforce that is dedicated motivated and well trained in order to assure the Institutersquos future development and growth as well as providing long term employment for individual employees

To achieve this goal the MIoD provides competitive compensation and certain social benefits to all employees while maintaining a positive work environment The MIoD is committed to providing a total compensation package that enables the Institute to attract and retain skilled employees for all positions A competitive total compensation package includes an effective salary and a benefits plan which aims tobull payafairbasicsalaryforthejobbybenchmarkingagainst similar jobs and similar organisations in Mauritius and taking into consideration internal equity specific job requirements and the skills knowledge and abilities of the employeebull providebasicbenefitsandbull recogniseindividualcontributionthroughtheperformance bonus system

The total compensation package also includes payment of a 13th month salary in line with Mauritian legislation which is normally paid in December and is calculated proportionately to the time of service during the year All employees receive a pay slip and salaries are paid on 26th of each month by standing order

42 Suppliers The MIoD has adopted a lsquoProcurement Policyrsquo to ensure that all procurement activities carried out by the MIoDbull provide best possible valuebull are conducted in a fair objective and transparent mannerbull are compliant with all relevant legislation and any other related policiesbull use best practice in the application of ethical standards andbull are consistent with the MIoDrsquos Vision Mission and Values

The choice of suppliers is influenced by the above mentioned objectives Although environmental benefits are considered as part of the procurement process with due consideration given to all relevant aspects of whole life-cycle costs of products the MIoD does not have a specific policy of preferring locally based suppliers

For some events and where a local capacity gap exists the MIoD has recourse to overseas facilitators to bring best practice to Mauritius

The MIoD intends to assess the geographical spread of its

procurement practices and report on the percentage of procurement budget which is spent on local suppliers in its next financial year At the same time the need to amend the procurement policy to promote local suppliers will also be considered

43 Recruitment Policy Under the Equal Opportunities Act 2008 (lsquoEOArsquo) an employer cannot discriminate against an employeeprospective employee on the basis of the following

The EOA also specifies that employers should be exclusively merit-oriented in their approach when it comes to selecting recruiting employing appraising promoting or dismissing an employee

Although the guidelines are not of a mandatory nature for the MIoD as it employs less than 10 employees on a full-time basis the MIoD is committed to a policy of equal opportunities

Its HR Policies amp Guidelines provides that no unlawful discrimination occurs in the recruitment and selection process on the grounds of race religion or belief colour sex age national origin disability or sexual orientation The MIoDrsquos HR Policy and Guidelines can be found on the website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepageAll employees are hired from the local community although this is not explicitly stated in our HR Policy and Guidelines

5 Environmental Performance51 MaterialsThe main consumable materials used by the MIoD are shown in this chart

52 Energy Consumption The only direct energy consumption relates to fossil fuel used in transportation by MIoD staff for work purposes This amounted to 94113 MJ for the reporting period Also the indirect energy used by MIoD relates to the consumption of electricity derived from the national electricity grid This was 10386 kWh electric for the reporting year ndash ie 11217 GJ thermal MIoD is not a producer of direct or indirect energiesInitiatives to reduce indirect energy consumption need to be investigated in the coming year This could for example include more energy-efficient lighting technologies A key constraint for the implementation of energy efficiency measures in office spaces is attributed to the fact that MIoD is only a tenant and such changes will have to be carried out by the building owner or manager

53 Water The MIoDrsquos consumption of water includes water delivered by the Central Water Authority water consumed from water fountains and bottled water for training workshops This was 26 m3year for the reporting period

54 Greenhouse Gas Emissions The total CO2 emissions of the MIoD has been estimated at 206 tonnes for the reporting period with direct and indirect emissions contributing 57 and 149 tonnes of CO2 respectively as follows bull IndirectemissionsofCO2 arose from the consumption of electricity and air travel This amounted to 107 tonnes and 42 tonnes of CO2 respectivelybull TotaldirectCO2 emissions related to land transport has been estimated at 57 tonnes of CO2 The estimation is based on the total distance travelled (km) during the reporting year an average fuel efficiency of 12 kmlitre of gasoline and the emission factor of motor gasoline

55 Waste All waste produced by MIoD and related to MIoD activities were sent to the landfill during the reporting period The main sources of waste were paper (350 kg or 035 tonnes) and plastic (37 kg or 0037 tonnes) By virtue of its activities MIoD does not deal with hazardous wastes of any kind

56 Mitigation of Environmental Impacts Following the Ecological Footprint Report undertaken in 2012 three areas were highlighted that needed attention

(i) food (mainly provided by third parties during delivery of MIoD trainings) (ii) consumables and(iii) waste management

In this respect the MIoD has undertaken in the financial year 2013-4 to bull workwithourkeythirdpartyfoodsupplierstoimprovethequality of the food offered during our training sessions especially taking into account the health problems in Mauritian society such as diabetes and to reduce our ecological footprint in this respect We have also engaged the advice of a nutritionistbull reducetheamountofplasticthatwepurchasebothinourownoffice but also through our third party suppliers In this respect we now have a water dispenser delivered to each training venue on the day of our training workshop to avoid the use of plastic bottles for our training sessions The next step is to work with our suppliers to encourage them to adopt this practicebull reducetheamountofpaperandinthisrespectwehaveagreedwith our Board Directors that effective August 2013 that we will no longer use paper but instead adopt appropriate laptop or tablet software for board papers During this year we will also undertake a complete review of our use of paper especially the printing of training manuals and see if we can fully or partially adopt alternative solutions to reduce our footprint The objective over time must be to become paperless We also intend to meet with the Registrar of Companies to lobby for the reduction in printing of Annual Reports and to allow shareholders to receive a soft copy and opt for a hard copy by exceptionbull ensurethatallouroldelectronicgoodssuchasprintersorcomputers are properly recycled using genuine recyclers andbull workwithourlandlordstointroducerecyclingbinsforallthetenants in our building Raffles Tower

57 Total Environmental Protection Expenditure and InvestmentTo date the MIoD has invested in consultancy services to help it calculate its Ecological Footprint and produce its first Integrated Report at a total cost of Rs 150000 The Ecological Footprint calculation is the benchmark for reducing our footprint in the future

6 Social61 Risks Related to Corruption An ethics risk assessment which also covered corruption risks was undertaken in 2011-2 The assessment covered all the activities of the MIoD Thereafter the MIoD Code of Conduct was reviewed and revised to address ethical conduct within the Company and by its members A Whistleblowing Policy has also been implemented The Ethics Risk Assessment Report and the MIoD Whistleblowing Policy can be found on the MIoD website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepage

be relevant Actual results may differ from these estimates

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in

revision affects both current and future periods

Where applicable the notes to the financial statements set out areas where management has applied a higher degree of judgement

that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements or estimations and assumptions that have a

significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year

14 People Processes Technology

We have this year taken on two new team members bringing the team to 6 including the CEO Rizwana Eathally joined us as Membership amp Marketing Officer in October 2012 and Tioumitra (Ambrish) Maharahaje joined us as Executive Secretary in March 2013 taking over as the MIoD Company Secretary as well as Executive Secretary of the Directors Forum and the Audit Committee Forum managing the Directorsrsquo Register and leading future research projects

Last year we upgraded our accounts system with Pastel and this has proved an invaluable investment This year we have undertaken to build a new interactive website and integrated CRM Both are nearly finalised and should be fully operational in September 2013

All our processes at the MIoD are continually evolving and being reviewed as we grow We have reviewed this year our Accounting Membership and Training Procedures as well as the management of our Members and Directorsrsquo Registers

15 Finances

Although our membership has increased substantially and continues to grow and our training programme and corporate services have expanded the MIOD continues to rely on the contributions of its Founders and Patrons These contributions enable membership of the MIoD attendance at its events and use of its services to be accessible to the maximum number of people by keeping our fees at an affordable level

Accumulated funds have been placed on fixed deposits with the Mauritius Post and Cooperative Bank this being renegotiated at regular intervals

The MIoD has again this year made a small surplus of Rs 353508 for the year which is above targeted results

16 The Coming YearThe MIoD has a new three year business plan and will continue to focus on membership growth particularly for Associate members but also membership from the public sector and from more seasoned directors During the coming year we will

be undertaking a branding exercise to evaluate our image and encouraging greater stakeholder engagement to ensure excellent customer service and responsiveness through an Annual Members Forum and Survey and by establishing MOUs with key regulators

Ensuring high quality training and education remains a key objective by continuing to provide an innovative and interesting training programme with our team of 11 local trainers and consultants as well as high level overseas facilitators In 20134 this will include a Thought Leadership Programme and we hope to work more closely with the public sector We will also introduce information and consulting services and set up a Research unit to undertake research into directorsrsquo remuneration business ethics and board practices in Mauritius

The Audit Committee Forum will also start to operate and build capacity and the Directors Forum will continue to establish itself as the voice of Directors

As part of our Corporate Social Responsibility we will continue to offer pro-bono Directors Searches and Corporate Governance and Skills training for registered NGOs

We will follow up on the improvement of our Ecological Footprint by focusing on the reduction of our use of paper plastic and improving the quality of the food served at our workshops

Our new website will be launched shortly along with our new Customer Relationship Management system and our presence on LinkedIn Twitter and Facebook will be reinforced

The highlight of the coming year will undoubtedly be the launch of the African Corporate Governance Network on 16 October and our International Conference being organised in collaboration with the IoDSA on 17 and 18 October on the theme ldquoAfrica Rising Governance for Sustainability the Road Map for Value Creationrdquo with a big line up of distinguished speakers led by Baroness Lynda Chalker

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT

1Compliance StatementIn accordance with its mission statement the Mauritius Institute of Directors (lsquoMIoDrsquo or the lsquoCompanyrsquo) is committed to applying the principles of good corporate governance in its operations Rather than adopting a lsquotick the boxrsquo approach to complying with the Code the MIoD has embedded the principles of the Code in its day to day operations

During the year the MIoD has complied with all material aspects of the principles of the Code Given that it has only six employees the Board considers that it functions effectively with only one Executive Director namely the CEO

2Corporate Details and Holding StructureIncorporated in Mauritius as a public company limited by guarantee on 11 February 2008 the MIoD is a non-profit organization engaged in the promotion of good corporate governance in Mauritius and training and development

The rights powers duties and obligations of the Company the Board each director and the members of the Company are governed by the Constitution of the Company and the Companies Act 2001

The constitution of the MIoD provides that inter alia21 every member irrespective of his class of membership including a person who has been a member at any time within 12 months from the effective date of the winding up of the Institute shall in the event of the Company having a deficit in disposable assets over its liabilities contribute a maximum of one hundred (100) Mauritian Rupees to the assets of the Company in the event of it being wound up22 the monies collected shall be applied for the payment of the debts and liabilities of the Company and the payment of the costs charges and expenses associated with the winding up the Company and23 the Directors are prohibited from making any form of distribution including distributing dividends returns of capital income or profits of the Company to the Members However the Company shall use any surplus funds in any year to pursue the goals set out in Article 5 of this Constitution

The full version of the constitution is available on the MIoD website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepage

3 The BoardFrom 1 June 2012 to 7 February 2013 the Board of the MIoD was comprised of 12 directors (6 male and 6 female) of whom 11 were independent directors and one was classified as an Executive Director namely the Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

A vacancy arose on the Board on 7 February 2013 when Mrs Aruna Collendavelloo stepped down as director of the Company As there was no urgent need to appoint a replacement and on the recommendation of the Nominations and Membership Committee it was resolved that such vacancy would be filled at the Annual Meeting of Members (AMM) scheduled on 25 September 2013

The profiles of the directors are set out on pages 7 to 9 of the report

Mr Deva Armoogum was appointed as Chairman of the Board by his fellow directors following the AMM held on 26 September 2012

For the year under review the Board considered its composition as adequately balanced and that the directors had the appropriate range of skills expertise and experience required to carry out their duties properly in order to serve the interests of all the stakeholders and provide effective corporate governance

The Constitution of the Company provides that with the exception of the Chief Executive Officer every other director shall be eligible for reappointment for a maximum of five consecutive years

In line with the Code all directors who meet the eligibility criteria stand for re-election at the AMM on the recommendation of the Nominations and Membership Committee

Messrs Deva Armoogum Georges Leung Shing and Mrs Danielle Lagesse having reached their term of office will not stand for re-election at the next AMM Mr Vaughan Heberden has also indicated that he will be stepping down at the next AMM The Nominations and Membership Committee has thus reviewed the skills competencies and experience required to enable the Board to function efficiently as well as the profile of the directors eligible for re-election Their contribution to board and committee meetings were also considered

Pursuant to such review the Nominations and Membership Committee has recommended that the following directors be considered for re-election at the Annual Meeting

1 James Benoit2 Ravin Lama3 Heba Jangeerkhan4 Patricia Day-Hookoomsing5 Catherine Dvorak6 Richard Wooding

As regards the five remaining vacancies on the Board the Committee has recommended that candidates with a background in the legal and accounting fields as well as in corporate governance matters be considered for election as director of the Company

A notice inviting members to apply for consideration as director of the Company was issued on 21 May 2013

On appointment to the Board new directors receive a comprehensive induction pack from the Company Secretary and the CEO and have informal meetings with the Chairman fellow Board members Nominations and Membership Committee the CEO and the employees of the MIoD The functions and responsibilities of the Chairman and CEO are separate

The Chairman and the CEO in collaboration with the Company Secretary agreed on the Board meeting calendar for the year and the Board meeting agendas in advance to ensure adequate coverage of key issues throughout the year Board packs are usually sent to the directors five days in advance

All directors have access to the Company Secretary and CEO to discuss issues or to obtain information on specific areas or items to be considered at Board meetings or any other area they consider appropriate Directors attend Board meetings unless exceptional circumstances prevent them from so doing

1 Report Content and Reporting ParametersThis report marks two significant milestones for the MIoD It is the MIoDrsquos first Integrated Report and it also marks the first time that the GRI framework has been adopted for sustainability reporting by the MIoD These milestones are timely and are squarely aligned with MIoDrsquos position in the market to promote corporate sustainability and to lead by exampleThe integrated report has adopted the G31 guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative and it reflects MIoDrsquos commitment to provide a transparent and fair review of its strategy performance and activities in 2012-3 to its stakeholders The triple bottom line reporting has endeavoured to provide an open and honest summary of the social economic and environmental impacts stemming from our activities and commitments practices objectives and performance results regarding the management of our impacts The report contains a combination of quantitative and qualitative impactsMIoD has also adopted a learning-by-doing approach to internalise integrated sustainability reporting as a strategic management tool To reflect this approach we have realised this report in the GRI Level C application with the view that MIoD will graduate progressively to higher level reporting over time It is understood that the learning-by-doing approach implies that the processes tools and methodologies applied to identify prioritise and validate report content and reporting parameters will evolve over time Nevertheless the processes tools and methodologies are systemic and have been applied systematically to allow year-on-year comparisons of MIoDrsquos performance This is even more so because MIoD is a relatively young organisation that holds a unique position vis-agrave-vis its stakeholdersWe have used GRI Reporting Standard principles in determining the scope of the report content structure and quality and data calculation and disclosure techniques The content of this report discloses MIoDrsquos performance for the period starting July 1 2012 and ending June 30 2013

2 Report Scope amp BoundaryThe activities of MIoD cover the geographical area of the Republic of Mauritius and most of these activities take place in the island of Mauritius The report boundary is therefore the activities of MIoD in Mauritius In addition to GRIrsquos Sustainability Reporting Guidelines (GRI 31) the report also follows the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for financial reporting and the Code of Corporate Governance of Mauritius 2004 Boundaries for non-financial data collection are consistent with our financial reporting thus aligning financial environmental and social reporting Since stakeholder inclusiveness is a cross-cutting issue in determining the content and scope of reporting we have attempted to take into consideration the expectations of our stakeholders as well as to quantify or qualify the impacts of our activities on their well-being including present and future considerations and to take remedial actions Our stakeholder engagement processes are discussed below

3 Determining Report ContentGuided by the G31 reporting guidelines and principles and technical protocol the following criteria have been observed in preparing this reportStakeholder inclusivenessStakeholder identification and engagement have been carried out using a combination of three methods namely (1) market knowledge by virtue of being the main organization mandated to foster the development of corporate governance at the level of Boards and upper management in Mauritius (2) value-chain analysis to establish the entire supply chain of MIoDrsquos services including the enabling environment and business providers and (3) on-going surveys with existing and potential members

The stakeholders of the MIoD are set out below

MIoD appreciates the benefits derived from stakeholder engagement and endeavours to maintain close proximity with key stakeholders We carry out membership surveys ethics risk assessments and on-going evaluations of our training programmes to identify and address issues that are relevant to our stakeholders and also to engage our stakeholders in assessing MIoDrsquos performance risks and opportunities For instance the following examples are pertinent

Sustainability ContextAs a leading organization promoting corporate sustainability we consider sustainability as an integral aspect of our decision-making process and of the way we do business on the economic social and environmental fronts This is important on two counts namely (1) the increasing awareness in the Mauritian public and private sector for mainstreaming the three pillars of sustainable development and (2) the recognition that corporate sustainability can be a significant comparative advantage and differentiation strategy It is worth mentioning here that MIoDrsquos Integrated Report is squarely aligned with the newly adopted Maurice Ile Durable (MID) Policy Strategy and Action Plan of Mauritius especially concerning lsquoenhancing the corporate environment social responsibility and accountabilityrsquo (wwwmidmu ndash accessed 12 July 2013) The sectorial MID Strategy for employmenteconomy specifically refers to the use of GRI as a benchmark for developing a Sustainability Index for publicly listed companies

CompletenessWe have ensured that all the material topics and indicators covered in this report reflect completely the significant economic environmental and social impacts of our activities and enable our stakeholders to assess our performance in 2012-3 effectively

BalanceWe have attempted to present an unbiased picture of our performance by avoiding selections omissions or presentation formats that are reasonably likely to unduly or inappropriately influence the readerrsquos decision or judgment The report provides both favourable and unfavourable results as well as results that can influence the decisions of stakeholders in proportion to their materiality This is a commitment to MIoDrsquos transparency

ComparabilitySince this is the first integrated sustainability report results present the baseline data and information against which comparative performance analysis will be carried out in the future

AccuracyThe different data in this report have been presented both on a qualitative and quantitative basis In any case we have ensured openness in measurements and qualitative analyses while bearing in mind that data would need to be verifiable While the non-financial components of the present report have not been subject to an independent third party audit the processes methodologies and tools for generating and analysing quantitative and qualitative data were adopted because they lend themselves to such audits Where applicable such as in the case of Ecological Footprint analysis discussed below error analysis is provided to deal with uncertainties in measurements

TimelinessThis report will be issued for the purpose of the Annual Meeting of Members on 25 September 2013 It will enable all our stakeholders to assess this report and provide us with relevant feedback for future reporting This open review process forms an integral part of the learning-by-doing approach

ClarityThis report has been presented in a manner that is understandable accessible and usable by our stakeholders As far as practicable graphics and data tables have been used to present information

ReliabilityInformation and processes used in the preparation of this report have been consistently gathered recorded compiled analysed and disclosed in a way that has been subject to constant examination by a competent internal team together with the help of an external consultancy firm with experience in integrated sustainability reporting using the GRI G31 Reporting Guidelines and Principles

MaterialityAccording to the GRI G31 Guidelines materiality has to be determined by considering the economic environmental and social impacts that cross a threshold in affecting the ability to

meet the needs of the present without compromising the needs of future generations Since the identification of thresholds is not trivial especially when considering long-term impacts or impacts where root causes and their effects are delocalised geographically and across different time horizons the methodology applied by MIoD to gauge materiality is evolving as it strives to better integrate sustainability across its entire spectrum of operations and services The underlying approach is to identify and prioritise those impacts that have a propensity to create preserve or erode economic environmental and social value for itself and its stakeholders In order to be methodological and systematic a combination of approaches has been used to determine materiality and the contents of this reportbull ThelegalrequirementsoftheRepublicofMauritiusInmanyinstances the operating legal framework prescribes minimum or allowable socio-economic and environmental impacts and these thresholds are usually identified because of their materialitybull Adoptionofathoroughriskmanagementprocessthatallowsus to assess and mitigate the impacts of our operations (and vice versa) beyond the financial imperative The risk management process also makes visible opportunities to better serve our stakeholdersbull Bykeepingacloseproximitywithourstakeholdersasexplained above under lsquoStakeholder Inclusivenessrsquobull IdentificationofinternalissuesthroughmeetingswithMIoDteam members as well as subscribing to continuous learning to better adhere to our policies values strategies targets and risk management processes andbull CarryingoutanEcologicalFootprintanalysisofouroperationsthat cover the impacts of the following (1) food (mainly provided by third parties during delivery of MIoD training) (2) consumables (3) utilities buildings and transport and (4) waste The first Ecological Footprint analysis was carried out for the calendar year 2012 (a copy of the report can be obtained from our website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepage) and its results and recommendations were approved by the MIoDrsquos Board of Directors on 5 December 2012 The time period for the Ecological Footprint analysis has been revised to match the reporting period July 2012-June 2013 and the Footprint updated The analysis has been used to quantify impacts identify impacts of most significance and provide a basis for taking remedial actions across the value chain as discussed in this report Ecological Footprint analysis has been adopted as one way to deal with the difficulties in establishing thresholds for sustainability impacts The Ecological Footprint analysis also captures the ecological impacts of services delivered (except for electricity and primary energy consumption) by third party venues during MIoD training

MIoDrsquos materiality framework is evolving We are confident that the results presented here are sufficiently robust to instil confidence in the quality of the report The integrated Sustainability Report should be read in conjunction with our online resources

Validation is currently essentially an internally orientated process with authorisation by the CEO and Executive Secretary and ultimate approval of the Integrated Report by the Board of Directors

Performance indicators have been chosen for reporting purposes based on three main factors1 Results of the Ecological Footprint Analysis2 Our ability or maturity to respond and3 The opportunity for MIoD to grow and gain advantage from the impacts

The calculation of Performance Indicators has followed the GRI Indicator Protocols GHG emissions arising from the use of electricity has been calculated from the Grid Emission Factor of Mauritius using the methodological tool 07 ndash ie ldquoTool to calculate the emission factor for an electricity system (Version 0300) - proposed by the Clean Development Mechanism for calculating the operating margin (httpcdmunfcccintmethodologiesPAmethodologiestoolsam-tool-07-v300pdf )rdquo GHG emissions arising from business-related air travel have been calculated using the official ICAO online calculator (httpwww2icaointencarbonoffsetPagesdefaultaspx)

4 Market Position41 Range of Ratios of Standard Entry Level Wage by Gender The MIoD does not differentiate salaries on the basis of gender nor do we have a standard entry wage level for employees Entry salaries are based on industry and market benchmarks the entrantrsquos educational level and relevant experience The Board Nominations Committee is responsible for reviewing and recommending to the Board any changes to employeesrsquo remuneration Employees are rewarded for their contribution to the Companyrsquos performance based on their performance against annual KPIs and the companyrsquos financial position

The MIoD employs 5 staff excluding the CEO ndash 3 female and 2 male The lowest male basic salary is Rs 28618 and the lowest female basic monthly salary is Rs 14478 There is no official minimum wage in Mauritius in our sector However as per the Ministry of Labour and the National Remuneration Order for Travel Agents and Tour Operators Workers a similar service sector the minimum wages prescribed for comparable jobs are as follows

bull SeniorAccountsClerkRs10306bull AdministrativeClerkRs8717

Mauritius Institute of Directors - IntegratedReport Mauritius Institute of Directors - IntegratedReport32 33

Based on this methodology the ratio of entry level wage by gender compared to local minimum wage for comparable jobs is 126 for male staff and 117 for female staff The apparent difference between the two ratios does not imply gender bias at MIoD since for any specific position a male or female employee would receive the same remuneration all else being equal

The MIoD is focused on continually developing a workforce that is dedicated motivated and well trained in order to assure the Institutersquos future development and growth as well as providing long term employment for individual employees

To achieve this goal the MIoD provides competitive compensation and certain social benefits to all employees while maintaining a positive work environment The MIoD is committed to providing a total compensation package that enables the Institute to attract and retain skilled employees for all positions A competitive total compensation package includes an effective salary and a benefits plan which aims tobull payafairbasicsalaryforthejobbybenchmarkingagainst similar jobs and similar organisations in Mauritius and taking into consideration internal equity specific job requirements and the skills knowledge and abilities of the employeebull providebasicbenefitsandbull recogniseindividualcontributionthroughtheperformance bonus system

The total compensation package also includes payment of a 13th month salary in line with Mauritian legislation which is normally paid in December and is calculated proportionately to the time of service during the year All employees receive a pay slip and salaries are paid on 26th of each month by standing order

42 Suppliers The MIoD has adopted a lsquoProcurement Policyrsquo to ensure that all procurement activities carried out by the MIoDbull provide best possible valuebull are conducted in a fair objective and transparent mannerbull are compliant with all relevant legislation and any other related policiesbull use best practice in the application of ethical standards andbull are consistent with the MIoDrsquos Vision Mission and Values

The choice of suppliers is influenced by the above mentioned objectives Although environmental benefits are considered as part of the procurement process with due consideration given to all relevant aspects of whole life-cycle costs of products the MIoD does not have a specific policy of preferring locally based suppliers

For some events and where a local capacity gap exists the MIoD has recourse to overseas facilitators to bring best practice to Mauritius

The MIoD intends to assess the geographical spread of its

procurement practices and report on the percentage of procurement budget which is spent on local suppliers in its next financial year At the same time the need to amend the procurement policy to promote local suppliers will also be considered

43 Recruitment Policy Under the Equal Opportunities Act 2008 (lsquoEOArsquo) an employer cannot discriminate against an employeeprospective employee on the basis of the following

The EOA also specifies that employers should be exclusively merit-oriented in their approach when it comes to selecting recruiting employing appraising promoting or dismissing an employee

Although the guidelines are not of a mandatory nature for the MIoD as it employs less than 10 employees on a full-time basis the MIoD is committed to a policy of equal opportunities

Its HR Policies amp Guidelines provides that no unlawful discrimination occurs in the recruitment and selection process on the grounds of race religion or belief colour sex age national origin disability or sexual orientation The MIoDrsquos HR Policy and Guidelines can be found on the website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepageAll employees are hired from the local community although this is not explicitly stated in our HR Policy and Guidelines

5 Environmental Performance51 MaterialsThe main consumable materials used by the MIoD are shown in this chart

52 Energy Consumption The only direct energy consumption relates to fossil fuel used in transportation by MIoD staff for work purposes This amounted to 94113 MJ for the reporting period Also the indirect energy used by MIoD relates to the consumption of electricity derived from the national electricity grid This was 10386 kWh electric for the reporting year ndash ie 11217 GJ thermal MIoD is not a producer of direct or indirect energiesInitiatives to reduce indirect energy consumption need to be investigated in the coming year This could for example include more energy-efficient lighting technologies A key constraint for the implementation of energy efficiency measures in office spaces is attributed to the fact that MIoD is only a tenant and such changes will have to be carried out by the building owner or manager

53 Water The MIoDrsquos consumption of water includes water delivered by the Central Water Authority water consumed from water fountains and bottled water for training workshops This was 26 m3year for the reporting period

54 Greenhouse Gas Emissions The total CO2 emissions of the MIoD has been estimated at 206 tonnes for the reporting period with direct and indirect emissions contributing 57 and 149 tonnes of CO2 respectively as follows bull IndirectemissionsofCO2 arose from the consumption of electricity and air travel This amounted to 107 tonnes and 42 tonnes of CO2 respectivelybull TotaldirectCO2 emissions related to land transport has been estimated at 57 tonnes of CO2 The estimation is based on the total distance travelled (km) during the reporting year an average fuel efficiency of 12 kmlitre of gasoline and the emission factor of motor gasoline

55 Waste All waste produced by MIoD and related to MIoD activities were sent to the landfill during the reporting period The main sources of waste were paper (350 kg or 035 tonnes) and plastic (37 kg or 0037 tonnes) By virtue of its activities MIoD does not deal with hazardous wastes of any kind

56 Mitigation of Environmental Impacts Following the Ecological Footprint Report undertaken in 2012 three areas were highlighted that needed attention

(i) food (mainly provided by third parties during delivery of MIoD trainings) (ii) consumables and(iii) waste management

In this respect the MIoD has undertaken in the financial year 2013-4 to bull workwithourkeythirdpartyfoodsupplierstoimprovethequality of the food offered during our training sessions especially taking into account the health problems in Mauritian society such as diabetes and to reduce our ecological footprint in this respect We have also engaged the advice of a nutritionistbull reducetheamountofplasticthatwepurchasebothinourownoffice but also through our third party suppliers In this respect we now have a water dispenser delivered to each training venue on the day of our training workshop to avoid the use of plastic bottles for our training sessions The next step is to work with our suppliers to encourage them to adopt this practicebull reducetheamountofpaperandinthisrespectwehaveagreedwith our Board Directors that effective August 2013 that we will no longer use paper but instead adopt appropriate laptop or tablet software for board papers During this year we will also undertake a complete review of our use of paper especially the printing of training manuals and see if we can fully or partially adopt alternative solutions to reduce our footprint The objective over time must be to become paperless We also intend to meet with the Registrar of Companies to lobby for the reduction in printing of Annual Reports and to allow shareholders to receive a soft copy and opt for a hard copy by exceptionbull ensurethatallouroldelectronicgoodssuchasprintersorcomputers are properly recycled using genuine recyclers andbull workwithourlandlordstointroducerecyclingbinsforallthetenants in our building Raffles Tower

57 Total Environmental Protection Expenditure and InvestmentTo date the MIoD has invested in consultancy services to help it calculate its Ecological Footprint and produce its first Integrated Report at a total cost of Rs 150000 The Ecological Footprint calculation is the benchmark for reducing our footprint in the future

6 Social61 Risks Related to Corruption An ethics risk assessment which also covered corruption risks was undertaken in 2011-2 The assessment covered all the activities of the MIoD Thereafter the MIoD Code of Conduct was reviewed and revised to address ethical conduct within the Company and by its members A Whistleblowing Policy has also been implemented The Ethics Risk Assessment Report and the MIoD Whistleblowing Policy can be found on the MIoD website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepage

be relevant Actual results may differ from these estimates

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in

the year in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that year or in the period of the revision and future periods if the

revision affects both current and future periods

Where applicable the notes to the financial statements set out areas where management has applied a higher degree of judgement

that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements or estimations and assumptions that have a

significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year

With regards to the nature of the Companyrsquos business there were no key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources

of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting year that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT

1Compliance StatementIn accordance with its mission statement the Mauritius Institute of Directors (lsquoMIoDrsquo or the lsquoCompanyrsquo) is committed to applying the principles of good corporate governance in its operations Rather than adopting a lsquotick the boxrsquo approach to complying with the Code the MIoD has embedded the principles of the Code in its day to day operations

During the year the MIoD has complied with all material aspects of the principles of the Code Given that it has only six employees the Board considers that it functions effectively with only one Executive Director namely the CEO

2Corporate Details and Holding StructureIncorporated in Mauritius as a public company limited by guarantee on 11 February 2008 the MIoD is a non-profit organization engaged in the promotion of good corporate governance in Mauritius and training and development

The rights powers duties and obligations of the Company the Board each director and the members of the Company are governed by the Constitution of the Company and the Companies Act 2001

The constitution of the MIoD provides that inter alia21 every member irrespective of his class of membership including a person who has been a member at any time within 12 months from the effective date of the winding up of the Institute shall in the event of the Company having a deficit in disposable assets over its liabilities contribute a maximum of one hundred (100) Mauritian Rupees to the assets of the Company in the event of it being wound up22 the monies collected shall be applied for the payment of the debts and liabilities of the Company and the payment of the costs charges and expenses associated with the winding up the Company and23 the Directors are prohibited from making any form of distribution including distributing dividends returns of capital income or profits of the Company to the Members However the Company shall use any surplus funds in any year to pursue the goals set out in Article 5 of this Constitution

The full version of the constitution is available on the MIoD website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepage

3 The BoardFrom 1 June 2012 to 7 February 2013 the Board of the MIoD was comprised of 12 directors (6 male and 6 female) of whom 11 were independent directors and one was classified as an Executive Director namely the Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

A vacancy arose on the Board on 7 February 2013 when Mrs Aruna Collendavelloo stepped down as director of the Company As there was no urgent need to appoint a replacement and on the recommendation of the Nominations and Membership Committee it was resolved that such vacancy would be filled at the Annual Meeting of Members (AMM) scheduled on 25 September 2013

The profiles of the directors are set out on pages 7 to 9 of the report

Mr Deva Armoogum was appointed as Chairman of the Board by his fellow directors following the AMM held on 26 September 2012

For the year under review the Board considered its composition as adequately balanced and that the directors had the appropriate range of skills expertise and experience required to carry out their duties properly in order to serve the interests of all the stakeholders and provide effective corporate governance

The Constitution of the Company provides that with the exception of the Chief Executive Officer every other director shall be eligible for reappointment for a maximum of five consecutive years

In line with the Code all directors who meet the eligibility criteria stand for re-election at the AMM on the recommendation of the Nominations and Membership Committee

Messrs Deva Armoogum Georges Leung Shing and Mrs Danielle Lagesse having reached their term of office will not stand for re-election at the next AMM Mr Vaughan Heberden has also indicated that he will be stepping down at the next AMM The Nominations and Membership Committee has thus reviewed the skills competencies and experience required to enable the Board to function efficiently as well as the profile of the directors eligible for re-election Their contribution to board and committee meetings were also considered

Pursuant to such review the Nominations and Membership Committee has recommended that the following directors be considered for re-election at the Annual Meeting

1 James Benoit2 Ravin Lama3 Heba Jangeerkhan4 Patricia Day-Hookoomsing5 Catherine Dvorak6 Richard Wooding

As regards the five remaining vacancies on the Board the Committee has recommended that candidates with a background in the legal and accounting fields as well as in corporate governance matters be considered for election as director of the Company

A notice inviting members to apply for consideration as director of the Company was issued on 21 May 2013

On appointment to the Board new directors receive a comprehensive induction pack from the Company Secretary and the CEO and have informal meetings with the Chairman fellow Board members Nominations and Membership Committee the CEO and the employees of the MIoD The functions and responsibilities of the Chairman and CEO are separate

The Chairman and the CEO in collaboration with the Company Secretary agreed on the Board meeting calendar for the year and the Board meeting agendas in advance to ensure adequate coverage of key issues throughout the year Board packs are usually sent to the directors five days in advance

All directors have access to the Company Secretary and CEO to discuss issues or to obtain information on specific areas or items to be considered at Board meetings or any other area they consider appropriate Directors attend Board meetings unless exceptional circumstances prevent them from so doing

1 Report Content and Reporting ParametersThis report marks two significant milestones for the MIoD It is the MIoDrsquos first Integrated Report and it also marks the first time that the GRI framework has been adopted for sustainability reporting by the MIoD These milestones are timely and are squarely aligned with MIoDrsquos position in the market to promote corporate sustainability and to lead by exampleThe integrated report has adopted the G31 guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative and it reflects MIoDrsquos commitment to provide a transparent and fair review of its strategy performance and activities in 2012-3 to its stakeholders The triple bottom line reporting has endeavoured to provide an open and honest summary of the social economic and environmental impacts stemming from our activities and commitments practices objectives and performance results regarding the management of our impacts The report contains a combination of quantitative and qualitative impactsMIoD has also adopted a learning-by-doing approach to internalise integrated sustainability reporting as a strategic management tool To reflect this approach we have realised this report in the GRI Level C application with the view that MIoD will graduate progressively to higher level reporting over time It is understood that the learning-by-doing approach implies that the processes tools and methodologies applied to identify prioritise and validate report content and reporting parameters will evolve over time Nevertheless the processes tools and methodologies are systemic and have been applied systematically to allow year-on-year comparisons of MIoDrsquos performance This is even more so because MIoD is a relatively young organisation that holds a unique position vis-agrave-vis its stakeholdersWe have used GRI Reporting Standard principles in determining the scope of the report content structure and quality and data calculation and disclosure techniques The content of this report discloses MIoDrsquos performance for the period starting July 1 2012 and ending June 30 2013

2 Report Scope amp BoundaryThe activities of MIoD cover the geographical area of the Republic of Mauritius and most of these activities take place in the island of Mauritius The report boundary is therefore the activities of MIoD in Mauritius In addition to GRIrsquos Sustainability Reporting Guidelines (GRI 31) the report also follows the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for financial reporting and the Code of Corporate Governance of Mauritius 2004 Boundaries for non-financial data collection are consistent with our financial reporting thus aligning financial environmental and social reporting Since stakeholder inclusiveness is a cross-cutting issue in determining the content and scope of reporting we have attempted to take into consideration the expectations of our stakeholders as well as to quantify or qualify the impacts of our activities on their well-being including present and future considerations and to take remedial actions Our stakeholder engagement processes are discussed below

3 Determining Report ContentGuided by the G31 reporting guidelines and principles and technical protocol the following criteria have been observed in preparing this reportStakeholder inclusivenessStakeholder identification and engagement have been carried out using a combination of three methods namely (1) market knowledge by virtue of being the main organization mandated to foster the development of corporate governance at the level of Boards and upper management in Mauritius (2) value-chain analysis to establish the entire supply chain of MIoDrsquos services including the enabling environment and business providers and (3) on-going surveys with existing and potential members

The stakeholders of the MIoD are set out below

MIoD appreciates the benefits derived from stakeholder engagement and endeavours to maintain close proximity with key stakeholders We carry out membership surveys ethics risk assessments and on-going evaluations of our training programmes to identify and address issues that are relevant to our stakeholders and also to engage our stakeholders in assessing MIoDrsquos performance risks and opportunities For instance the following examples are pertinent

Sustainability ContextAs a leading organization promoting corporate sustainability we consider sustainability as an integral aspect of our decision-making process and of the way we do business on the economic social and environmental fronts This is important on two counts namely (1) the increasing awareness in the Mauritian public and private sector for mainstreaming the three pillars of sustainable development and (2) the recognition that corporate sustainability can be a significant comparative advantage and differentiation strategy It is worth mentioning here that MIoDrsquos Integrated Report is squarely aligned with the newly adopted Maurice Ile Durable (MID) Policy Strategy and Action Plan of Mauritius especially concerning lsquoenhancing the corporate environment social responsibility and accountabilityrsquo (wwwmidmu ndash accessed 12 July 2013) The sectorial MID Strategy for employmenteconomy specifically refers to the use of GRI as a benchmark for developing a Sustainability Index for publicly listed companies

CompletenessWe have ensured that all the material topics and indicators covered in this report reflect completely the significant economic environmental and social impacts of our activities and enable our stakeholders to assess our performance in 2012-3 effectively

BalanceWe have attempted to present an unbiased picture of our performance by avoiding selections omissions or presentation formats that are reasonably likely to unduly or inappropriately influence the readerrsquos decision or judgment The report provides both favourable and unfavourable results as well as results that can influence the decisions of stakeholders in proportion to their materiality This is a commitment to MIoDrsquos transparency

ComparabilitySince this is the first integrated sustainability report results present the baseline data and information against which comparative performance analysis will be carried out in the future

AccuracyThe different data in this report have been presented both on a qualitative and quantitative basis In any case we have ensured openness in measurements and qualitative analyses while bearing in mind that data would need to be verifiable While the non-financial components of the present report have not been subject to an independent third party audit the processes methodologies and tools for generating and analysing quantitative and qualitative data were adopted because they lend themselves to such audits Where applicable such as in the case of Ecological Footprint analysis discussed below error analysis is provided to deal with uncertainties in measurements

TimelinessThis report will be issued for the purpose of the Annual Meeting of Members on 25 September 2013 It will enable all our stakeholders to assess this report and provide us with relevant feedback for future reporting This open review process forms an integral part of the learning-by-doing approach

ClarityThis report has been presented in a manner that is understandable accessible and usable by our stakeholders As far as practicable graphics and data tables have been used to present information

ReliabilityInformation and processes used in the preparation of this report have been consistently gathered recorded compiled analysed and disclosed in a way that has been subject to constant examination by a competent internal team together with the help of an external consultancy firm with experience in integrated sustainability reporting using the GRI G31 Reporting Guidelines and Principles

MaterialityAccording to the GRI G31 Guidelines materiality has to be determined by considering the economic environmental and social impacts that cross a threshold in affecting the ability to

meet the needs of the present without compromising the needs of future generations Since the identification of thresholds is not trivial especially when considering long-term impacts or impacts where root causes and their effects are delocalised geographically and across different time horizons the methodology applied by MIoD to gauge materiality is evolving as it strives to better integrate sustainability across its entire spectrum of operations and services The underlying approach is to identify and prioritise those impacts that have a propensity to create preserve or erode economic environmental and social value for itself and its stakeholders In order to be methodological and systematic a combination of approaches has been used to determine materiality and the contents of this reportbull ThelegalrequirementsoftheRepublicofMauritiusInmanyinstances the operating legal framework prescribes minimum or allowable socio-economic and environmental impacts and these thresholds are usually identified because of their materialitybull Adoptionofathoroughriskmanagementprocessthatallowsus to assess and mitigate the impacts of our operations (and vice versa) beyond the financial imperative The risk management process also makes visible opportunities to better serve our stakeholdersbull Bykeepingacloseproximitywithourstakeholdersasexplained above under lsquoStakeholder Inclusivenessrsquobull IdentificationofinternalissuesthroughmeetingswithMIoDteam members as well as subscribing to continuous learning to better adhere to our policies values strategies targets and risk management processes andbull CarryingoutanEcologicalFootprintanalysisofouroperationsthat cover the impacts of the following (1) food (mainly provided by third parties during delivery of MIoD training) (2) consumables (3) utilities buildings and transport and (4) waste The first Ecological Footprint analysis was carried out for the calendar year 2012 (a copy of the report can be obtained from our website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepage) and its results and recommendations were approved by the MIoDrsquos Board of Directors on 5 December 2012 The time period for the Ecological Footprint analysis has been revised to match the reporting period July 2012-June 2013 and the Footprint updated The analysis has been used to quantify impacts identify impacts of most significance and provide a basis for taking remedial actions across the value chain as discussed in this report Ecological Footprint analysis has been adopted as one way to deal with the difficulties in establishing thresholds for sustainability impacts The Ecological Footprint analysis also captures the ecological impacts of services delivered (except for electricity and primary energy consumption) by third party venues during MIoD training

MIoDrsquos materiality framework is evolving We are confident that the results presented here are sufficiently robust to instil confidence in the quality of the report The integrated Sustainability Report should be read in conjunction with our online resources

Validation is currently essentially an internally orientated process with authorisation by the CEO and Executive Secretary and ultimate approval of the Integrated Report by the Board of Directors

Performance indicators have been chosen for reporting purposes based on three main factors1 Results of the Ecological Footprint Analysis2 Our ability or maturity to respond and3 The opportunity for MIoD to grow and gain advantage from the impacts

The calculation of Performance Indicators has followed the GRI Indicator Protocols GHG emissions arising from the use of electricity has been calculated from the Grid Emission Factor of Mauritius using the methodological tool 07 ndash ie ldquoTool to calculate the emission factor for an electricity system (Version 0300) - proposed by the Clean Development Mechanism for calculating the operating margin (httpcdmunfcccintmethodologiesPAmethodologiestoolsam-tool-07-v300pdf )rdquo GHG emissions arising from business-related air travel have been calculated using the official ICAO online calculator (httpwww2icaointencarbonoffsetPagesdefaultaspx)

4 Market Position41 Range of Ratios of Standard Entry Level Wage by Gender The MIoD does not differentiate salaries on the basis of gender nor do we have a standard entry wage level for employees Entry salaries are based on industry and market benchmarks the entrantrsquos educational level and relevant experience The Board Nominations Committee is responsible for reviewing and recommending to the Board any changes to employeesrsquo remuneration Employees are rewarded for their contribution to the Companyrsquos performance based on their performance against annual KPIs and the companyrsquos financial position

The MIoD employs 5 staff excluding the CEO ndash 3 female and 2 male The lowest male basic salary is Rs 28618 and the lowest female basic monthly salary is Rs 14478 There is no official minimum wage in Mauritius in our sector However as per the Ministry of Labour and the National Remuneration Order for Travel Agents and Tour Operators Workers a similar service sector the minimum wages prescribed for comparable jobs are as follows

bull SeniorAccountsClerkRs10306bull AdministrativeClerkRs8717

Mauritius Institute of Directors - IntegratedReport Mauritius Institute of Directors - IntegratedReport32 33

Based on this methodology the ratio of entry level wage by gender compared to local minimum wage for comparable jobs is 126 for male staff and 117 for female staff The apparent difference between the two ratios does not imply gender bias at MIoD since for any specific position a male or female employee would receive the same remuneration all else being equal

The MIoD is focused on continually developing a workforce that is dedicated motivated and well trained in order to assure the Institutersquos future development and growth as well as providing long term employment for individual employees

To achieve this goal the MIoD provides competitive compensation and certain social benefits to all employees while maintaining a positive work environment The MIoD is committed to providing a total compensation package that enables the Institute to attract and retain skilled employees for all positions A competitive total compensation package includes an effective salary and a benefits plan which aims tobull payafairbasicsalaryforthejobbybenchmarkingagainst similar jobs and similar organisations in Mauritius and taking into consideration internal equity specific job requirements and the skills knowledge and abilities of the employeebull providebasicbenefitsandbull recogniseindividualcontributionthroughtheperformance bonus system

The total compensation package also includes payment of a 13th month salary in line with Mauritian legislation which is normally paid in December and is calculated proportionately to the time of service during the year All employees receive a pay slip and salaries are paid on 26th of each month by standing order

42 Suppliers The MIoD has adopted a lsquoProcurement Policyrsquo to ensure that all procurement activities carried out by the MIoDbull provide best possible valuebull are conducted in a fair objective and transparent mannerbull are compliant with all relevant legislation and any other related policiesbull use best practice in the application of ethical standards andbull are consistent with the MIoDrsquos Vision Mission and Values

The choice of suppliers is influenced by the above mentioned objectives Although environmental benefits are considered as part of the procurement process with due consideration given to all relevant aspects of whole life-cycle costs of products the MIoD does not have a specific policy of preferring locally based suppliers

For some events and where a local capacity gap exists the MIoD has recourse to overseas facilitators to bring best practice to Mauritius

The MIoD intends to assess the geographical spread of its

procurement practices and report on the percentage of procurement budget which is spent on local suppliers in its next financial year At the same time the need to amend the procurement policy to promote local suppliers will also be considered

43 Recruitment Policy Under the Equal Opportunities Act 2008 (lsquoEOArsquo) an employer cannot discriminate against an employeeprospective employee on the basis of the following

The EOA also specifies that employers should be exclusively merit-oriented in their approach when it comes to selecting recruiting employing appraising promoting or dismissing an employee

Although the guidelines are not of a mandatory nature for the MIoD as it employs less than 10 employees on a full-time basis the MIoD is committed to a policy of equal opportunities

Its HR Policies amp Guidelines provides that no unlawful discrimination occurs in the recruitment and selection process on the grounds of race religion or belief colour sex age national origin disability or sexual orientation The MIoDrsquos HR Policy and Guidelines can be found on the website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepageAll employees are hired from the local community although this is not explicitly stated in our HR Policy and Guidelines

5 Environmental Performance51 MaterialsThe main consumable materials used by the MIoD are shown in this chart

52 Energy Consumption The only direct energy consumption relates to fossil fuel used in transportation by MIoD staff for work purposes This amounted to 94113 MJ for the reporting period Also the indirect energy used by MIoD relates to the consumption of electricity derived from the national electricity grid This was 10386 kWh electric for the reporting year ndash ie 11217 GJ thermal MIoD is not a producer of direct or indirect energiesInitiatives to reduce indirect energy consumption need to be investigated in the coming year This could for example include more energy-efficient lighting technologies A key constraint for the implementation of energy efficiency measures in office spaces is attributed to the fact that MIoD is only a tenant and such changes will have to be carried out by the building owner or manager

53 Water The MIoDrsquos consumption of water includes water delivered by the Central Water Authority water consumed from water fountains and bottled water for training workshops This was 26 m3year for the reporting period

54 Greenhouse Gas Emissions The total CO2 emissions of the MIoD has been estimated at 206 tonnes for the reporting period with direct and indirect emissions contributing 57 and 149 tonnes of CO2 respectively as follows bull IndirectemissionsofCO2 arose from the consumption of electricity and air travel This amounted to 107 tonnes and 42 tonnes of CO2 respectivelybull TotaldirectCO2 emissions related to land transport has been estimated at 57 tonnes of CO2 The estimation is based on the total distance travelled (km) during the reporting year an average fuel efficiency of 12 kmlitre of gasoline and the emission factor of motor gasoline

55 Waste All waste produced by MIoD and related to MIoD activities were sent to the landfill during the reporting period The main sources of waste were paper (350 kg or 035 tonnes) and plastic (37 kg or 0037 tonnes) By virtue of its activities MIoD does not deal with hazardous wastes of any kind

56 Mitigation of Environmental Impacts Following the Ecological Footprint Report undertaken in 2012 three areas were highlighted that needed attention

(i) food (mainly provided by third parties during delivery of MIoD trainings) (ii) consumables and(iii) waste management

In this respect the MIoD has undertaken in the financial year 2013-4 to bull workwithourkeythirdpartyfoodsupplierstoimprovethequality of the food offered during our training sessions especially taking into account the health problems in Mauritian society such as diabetes and to reduce our ecological footprint in this respect We have also engaged the advice of a nutritionistbull reducetheamountofplasticthatwepurchasebothinourownoffice but also through our third party suppliers In this respect we now have a water dispenser delivered to each training venue on the day of our training workshop to avoid the use of plastic bottles for our training sessions The next step is to work with our suppliers to encourage them to adopt this practicebull reducetheamountofpaperandinthisrespectwehaveagreedwith our Board Directors that effective August 2013 that we will no longer use paper but instead adopt appropriate laptop or tablet software for board papers During this year we will also undertake a complete review of our use of paper especially the printing of training manuals and see if we can fully or partially adopt alternative solutions to reduce our footprint The objective over time must be to become paperless We also intend to meet with the Registrar of Companies to lobby for the reduction in printing of Annual Reports and to allow shareholders to receive a soft copy and opt for a hard copy by exceptionbull ensurethatallouroldelectronicgoodssuchasprintersorcomputers are properly recycled using genuine recyclers andbull workwithourlandlordstointroducerecyclingbinsforallthetenants in our building Raffles Tower

57 Total Environmental Protection Expenditure and InvestmentTo date the MIoD has invested in consultancy services to help it calculate its Ecological Footprint and produce its first Integrated Report at a total cost of Rs 150000 The Ecological Footprint calculation is the benchmark for reducing our footprint in the future

6 Social61 Risks Related to Corruption An ethics risk assessment which also covered corruption risks was undertaken in 2011-2 The assessment covered all the activities of the MIoD Thereafter the MIoD Code of Conduct was reviewed and revised to address ethical conduct within the Company and by its members A Whistleblowing Policy has also been implemented The Ethics Risk Assessment Report and the MIoD Whistleblowing Policy can be found on the MIoD website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepage

be relevant Actual results may differ from these estimates

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in

the year in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that year or in the period of the revision and future periods if the

revision affects both current and future periods

Where applicable the notes to the financial statements set out areas where management has applied a higher degree of judgement

that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements or estimations and assumptions that have a

significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year

With regards to the nature of the Companyrsquos business there were no key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources

the reporting date For floating rate assets the analysis is prepared assuming the amount of assets at the reporting date was owned

for the whole year A 50 basis point increase or decrease represents managementrsquos assessment of the reasonably possible change in

interest rates

If interest rates had been 50 basis points higherlower and all other variables were held constant the companyrsquos surplus for the year

ended30June2013wouldincreasedecreasebyRs44543(yearended30June2012increasedecreasebyRs33311)Thisismainly

attributable to the companyrsquos exposure to interest rates on its floating rate interest bearing asset The company does not have any

significant variable rate borrowings outstanding at year end

Liquidity risk management

The company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash and borrowing facilities by continuously monitoring forecast

and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities

The maturity profile of the financial instruments is summarised as follows

1 Report Content and Reporting ParametersThis report marks two significant milestones for the MIoD It is the MIoDrsquos first Integrated Report and it also marks the first time that the GRI framework has been adopted for sustainability reporting by the MIoD These milestones are timely and are squarely aligned with MIoDrsquos position in the market to promote corporate sustainability and to lead by exampleThe integrated report has adopted the G31 guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative and it reflects MIoDrsquos commitment to provide a transparent and fair review of its strategy performance and activities in 2012-3 to its stakeholders The triple bottom line reporting has endeavoured to provide an open and honest summary of the social economic and environmental impacts stemming from our activities and commitments practices objectives and performance results regarding the management of our impacts The report contains a combination of quantitative and qualitative impactsMIoD has also adopted a learning-by-doing approach to internalise integrated sustainability reporting as a strategic management tool To reflect this approach we have realised this report in the GRI Level C application with the view that MIoD will graduate progressively to higher level reporting over time It is understood that the learning-by-doing approach implies that the processes tools and methodologies applied to identify prioritise and validate report content and reporting parameters will evolve over time Nevertheless the processes tools and methodologies are systemic and have been applied systematically to allow year-on-year comparisons of MIoDrsquos performance This is even more so because MIoD is a relatively young organisation that holds a unique position vis-agrave-vis its stakeholdersWe have used GRI Reporting Standard principles in determining the scope of the report content structure and quality and data calculation and disclosure techniques The content of this report discloses MIoDrsquos performance for the period starting July 1 2012 and ending June 30 2013

2 Report Scope amp BoundaryThe activities of MIoD cover the geographical area of the Republic of Mauritius and most of these activities take place in the island of Mauritius The report boundary is therefore the activities of MIoD in Mauritius In addition to GRIrsquos Sustainability Reporting Guidelines (GRI 31) the report also follows the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for financial reporting and the Code of Corporate Governance of Mauritius 2004 Boundaries for non-financial data collection are consistent with our financial reporting thus aligning financial environmental and social reporting Since stakeholder inclusiveness is a cross-cutting issue in determining the content and scope of reporting we have attempted to take into consideration the expectations of our stakeholders as well as to quantify or qualify the impacts of our activities on their well-being including present and future considerations and to take remedial actions Our stakeholder engagement processes are discussed below

3 Determining Report ContentGuided by the G31 reporting guidelines and principles and technical protocol the following criteria have been observed in preparing this reportStakeholder inclusivenessStakeholder identification and engagement have been carried out using a combination of three methods namely (1) market knowledge by virtue of being the main organization mandated to foster the development of corporate governance at the level of Boards and upper management in Mauritius (2) value-chain analysis to establish the entire supply chain of MIoDrsquos services including the enabling environment and business providers and (3) on-going surveys with existing and potential members

The stakeholders of the MIoD are set out below

MIoD appreciates the benefits derived from stakeholder engagement and endeavours to maintain close proximity with key stakeholders We carry out membership surveys ethics risk assessments and on-going evaluations of our training programmes to identify and address issues that are relevant to our stakeholders and also to engage our stakeholders in assessing MIoDrsquos performance risks and opportunities For instance the following examples are pertinent

Sustainability ContextAs a leading organization promoting corporate sustainability we consider sustainability as an integral aspect of our decision-making process and of the way we do business on the economic social and environmental fronts This is important on two counts namely (1) the increasing awareness in the Mauritian public and private sector for mainstreaming the three pillars of sustainable development and (2) the recognition that corporate sustainability can be a significant comparative advantage and differentiation strategy It is worth mentioning here that MIoDrsquos Integrated Report is squarely aligned with the newly adopted Maurice Ile Durable (MID) Policy Strategy and Action Plan of Mauritius especially concerning lsquoenhancing the corporate environment social responsibility and accountabilityrsquo (wwwmidmu ndash accessed 12 July 2013) The sectorial MID Strategy for employmenteconomy specifically refers to the use of GRI as a benchmark for developing a Sustainability Index for publicly listed companies

CompletenessWe have ensured that all the material topics and indicators covered in this report reflect completely the significant economic environmental and social impacts of our activities and enable our stakeholders to assess our performance in 2012-3 effectively

BalanceWe have attempted to present an unbiased picture of our performance by avoiding selections omissions or presentation formats that are reasonably likely to unduly or inappropriately influence the readerrsquos decision or judgment The report provides both favourable and unfavourable results as well as results that can influence the decisions of stakeholders in proportion to their materiality This is a commitment to MIoDrsquos transparency

ComparabilitySince this is the first integrated sustainability report results present the baseline data and information against which comparative performance analysis will be carried out in the future

AccuracyThe different data in this report have been presented both on a qualitative and quantitative basis In any case we have ensured openness in measurements and qualitative analyses while bearing in mind that data would need to be verifiable While the non-financial components of the present report have not been subject to an independent third party audit the processes methodologies and tools for generating and analysing quantitative and qualitative data were adopted because they lend themselves to such audits Where applicable such as in the case of Ecological Footprint analysis discussed below error analysis is provided to deal with uncertainties in measurements

TimelinessThis report will be issued for the purpose of the Annual Meeting of Members on 25 September 2013 It will enable all our stakeholders to assess this report and provide us with relevant feedback for future reporting This open review process forms an integral part of the learning-by-doing approach

ClarityThis report has been presented in a manner that is understandable accessible and usable by our stakeholders As far as practicable graphics and data tables have been used to present information

ReliabilityInformation and processes used in the preparation of this report have been consistently gathered recorded compiled analysed and disclosed in a way that has been subject to constant examination by a competent internal team together with the help of an external consultancy firm with experience in integrated sustainability reporting using the GRI G31 Reporting Guidelines and Principles

MaterialityAccording to the GRI G31 Guidelines materiality has to be determined by considering the economic environmental and social impacts that cross a threshold in affecting the ability to

meet the needs of the present without compromising the needs of future generations Since the identification of thresholds is not trivial especially when considering long-term impacts or impacts where root causes and their effects are delocalised geographically and across different time horizons the methodology applied by MIoD to gauge materiality is evolving as it strives to better integrate sustainability across its entire spectrum of operations and services The underlying approach is to identify and prioritise those impacts that have a propensity to create preserve or erode economic environmental and social value for itself and its stakeholders In order to be methodological and systematic a combination of approaches has been used to determine materiality and the contents of this reportbull ThelegalrequirementsoftheRepublicofMauritiusInmanyinstances the operating legal framework prescribes minimum or allowable socio-economic and environmental impacts and these thresholds are usually identified because of their materialitybull Adoptionofathoroughriskmanagementprocessthatallowsus to assess and mitigate the impacts of our operations (and vice versa) beyond the financial imperative The risk management process also makes visible opportunities to better serve our stakeholdersbull Bykeepingacloseproximitywithourstakeholdersasexplained above under lsquoStakeholder Inclusivenessrsquobull IdentificationofinternalissuesthroughmeetingswithMIoDteam members as well as subscribing to continuous learning to better adhere to our policies values strategies targets and risk management processes andbull CarryingoutanEcologicalFootprintanalysisofouroperationsthat cover the impacts of the following (1) food (mainly provided by third parties during delivery of MIoD training) (2) consumables (3) utilities buildings and transport and (4) waste The first Ecological Footprint analysis was carried out for the calendar year 2012 (a copy of the report can be obtained from our website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepage) and its results and recommendations were approved by the MIoDrsquos Board of Directors on 5 December 2012 The time period for the Ecological Footprint analysis has been revised to match the reporting period July 2012-June 2013 and the Footprint updated The analysis has been used to quantify impacts identify impacts of most significance and provide a basis for taking remedial actions across the value chain as discussed in this report Ecological Footprint analysis has been adopted as one way to deal with the difficulties in establishing thresholds for sustainability impacts The Ecological Footprint analysis also captures the ecological impacts of services delivered (except for electricity and primary energy consumption) by third party venues during MIoD training

MIoDrsquos materiality framework is evolving We are confident that the results presented here are sufficiently robust to instil confidence in the quality of the report The integrated Sustainability Report should be read in conjunction with our online resources

Validation is currently essentially an internally orientated process with authorisation by the CEO and Executive Secretary and ultimate approval of the Integrated Report by the Board of Directors

Performance indicators have been chosen for reporting purposes based on three main factors1 Results of the Ecological Footprint Analysis2 Our ability or maturity to respond and3 The opportunity for MIoD to grow and gain advantage from the impacts

The calculation of Performance Indicators has followed the GRI Indicator Protocols GHG emissions arising from the use of electricity has been calculated from the Grid Emission Factor of Mauritius using the methodological tool 07 ndash ie ldquoTool to calculate the emission factor for an electricity system (Version 0300) - proposed by the Clean Development Mechanism for calculating the operating margin (httpcdmunfcccintmethodologiesPAmethodologiestoolsam-tool-07-v300pdf )rdquo GHG emissions arising from business-related air travel have been calculated using the official ICAO online calculator (httpwww2icaointencarbonoffsetPagesdefaultaspx)

4 Market Position41 Range of Ratios of Standard Entry Level Wage by Gender The MIoD does not differentiate salaries on the basis of gender nor do we have a standard entry wage level for employees Entry salaries are based on industry and market benchmarks the entrantrsquos educational level and relevant experience The Board Nominations Committee is responsible for reviewing and recommending to the Board any changes to employeesrsquo remuneration Employees are rewarded for their contribution to the Companyrsquos performance based on their performance against annual KPIs and the companyrsquos financial position

The MIoD employs 5 staff excluding the CEO ndash 3 female and 2 male The lowest male basic salary is Rs 28618 and the lowest female basic monthly salary is Rs 14478 There is no official minimum wage in Mauritius in our sector However as per the Ministry of Labour and the National Remuneration Order for Travel Agents and Tour Operators Workers a similar service sector the minimum wages prescribed for comparable jobs are as follows

bull SeniorAccountsClerkRs10306bull AdministrativeClerkRs8717

Mauritius Institute of Directors - IntegratedReport Mauritius Institute of Directors - IntegratedReport32 33

Based on this methodology the ratio of entry level wage by gender compared to local minimum wage for comparable jobs is 126 for male staff and 117 for female staff The apparent difference between the two ratios does not imply gender bias at MIoD since for any specific position a male or female employee would receive the same remuneration all else being equal

The MIoD is focused on continually developing a workforce that is dedicated motivated and well trained in order to assure the Institutersquos future development and growth as well as providing long term employment for individual employees

To achieve this goal the MIoD provides competitive compensation and certain social benefits to all employees while maintaining a positive work environment The MIoD is committed to providing a total compensation package that enables the Institute to attract and retain skilled employees for all positions A competitive total compensation package includes an effective salary and a benefits plan which aims tobull payafairbasicsalaryforthejobbybenchmarkingagainst similar jobs and similar organisations in Mauritius and taking into consideration internal equity specific job requirements and the skills knowledge and abilities of the employeebull providebasicbenefitsandbull recogniseindividualcontributionthroughtheperformance bonus system

The total compensation package also includes payment of a 13th month salary in line with Mauritian legislation which is normally paid in December and is calculated proportionately to the time of service during the year All employees receive a pay slip and salaries are paid on 26th of each month by standing order

42 Suppliers The MIoD has adopted a lsquoProcurement Policyrsquo to ensure that all procurement activities carried out by the MIoDbull provide best possible valuebull are conducted in a fair objective and transparent mannerbull are compliant with all relevant legislation and any other related policiesbull use best practice in the application of ethical standards andbull are consistent with the MIoDrsquos Vision Mission and Values

The choice of suppliers is influenced by the above mentioned objectives Although environmental benefits are considered as part of the procurement process with due consideration given to all relevant aspects of whole life-cycle costs of products the MIoD does not have a specific policy of preferring locally based suppliers

For some events and where a local capacity gap exists the MIoD has recourse to overseas facilitators to bring best practice to Mauritius

The MIoD intends to assess the geographical spread of its

procurement practices and report on the percentage of procurement budget which is spent on local suppliers in its next financial year At the same time the need to amend the procurement policy to promote local suppliers will also be considered

43 Recruitment Policy Under the Equal Opportunities Act 2008 (lsquoEOArsquo) an employer cannot discriminate against an employeeprospective employee on the basis of the following

The EOA also specifies that employers should be exclusively merit-oriented in their approach when it comes to selecting recruiting employing appraising promoting or dismissing an employee

Although the guidelines are not of a mandatory nature for the MIoD as it employs less than 10 employees on a full-time basis the MIoD is committed to a policy of equal opportunities

Its HR Policies amp Guidelines provides that no unlawful discrimination occurs in the recruitment and selection process on the grounds of race religion or belief colour sex age national origin disability or sexual orientation The MIoDrsquos HR Policy and Guidelines can be found on the website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepageAll employees are hired from the local community although this is not explicitly stated in our HR Policy and Guidelines

5 Environmental Performance51 MaterialsThe main consumable materials used by the MIoD are shown in this chart

52 Energy Consumption The only direct energy consumption relates to fossil fuel used in transportation by MIoD staff for work purposes This amounted to 94113 MJ for the reporting period Also the indirect energy used by MIoD relates to the consumption of electricity derived from the national electricity grid This was 10386 kWh electric for the reporting year ndash ie 11217 GJ thermal MIoD is not a producer of direct or indirect energiesInitiatives to reduce indirect energy consumption need to be investigated in the coming year This could for example include more energy-efficient lighting technologies A key constraint for the implementation of energy efficiency measures in office spaces is attributed to the fact that MIoD is only a tenant and such changes will have to be carried out by the building owner or manager

53 Water The MIoDrsquos consumption of water includes water delivered by the Central Water Authority water consumed from water fountains and bottled water for training workshops This was 26 m3year for the reporting period

54 Greenhouse Gas Emissions The total CO2 emissions of the MIoD has been estimated at 206 tonnes for the reporting period with direct and indirect emissions contributing 57 and 149 tonnes of CO2 respectively as follows bull IndirectemissionsofCO2 arose from the consumption of electricity and air travel This amounted to 107 tonnes and 42 tonnes of CO2 respectivelybull TotaldirectCO2 emissions related to land transport has been estimated at 57 tonnes of CO2 The estimation is based on the total distance travelled (km) during the reporting year an average fuel efficiency of 12 kmlitre of gasoline and the emission factor of motor gasoline

55 Waste All waste produced by MIoD and related to MIoD activities were sent to the landfill during the reporting period The main sources of waste were paper (350 kg or 035 tonnes) and plastic (37 kg or 0037 tonnes) By virtue of its activities MIoD does not deal with hazardous wastes of any kind

56 Mitigation of Environmental Impacts Following the Ecological Footprint Report undertaken in 2012 three areas were highlighted that needed attention

(i) food (mainly provided by third parties during delivery of MIoD trainings) (ii) consumables and(iii) waste management

In this respect the MIoD has undertaken in the financial year 2013-4 to bull workwithourkeythirdpartyfoodsupplierstoimprovethequality of the food offered during our training sessions especially taking into account the health problems in Mauritian society such as diabetes and to reduce our ecological footprint in this respect We have also engaged the advice of a nutritionistbull reducetheamountofplasticthatwepurchasebothinourownoffice but also through our third party suppliers In this respect we now have a water dispenser delivered to each training venue on the day of our training workshop to avoid the use of plastic bottles for our training sessions The next step is to work with our suppliers to encourage them to adopt this practicebull reducetheamountofpaperandinthisrespectwehaveagreedwith our Board Directors that effective August 2013 that we will no longer use paper but instead adopt appropriate laptop or tablet software for board papers During this year we will also undertake a complete review of our use of paper especially the printing of training manuals and see if we can fully or partially adopt alternative solutions to reduce our footprint The objective over time must be to become paperless We also intend to meet with the Registrar of Companies to lobby for the reduction in printing of Annual Reports and to allow shareholders to receive a soft copy and opt for a hard copy by exceptionbull ensurethatallouroldelectronicgoodssuchasprintersorcomputers are properly recycled using genuine recyclers andbull workwithourlandlordstointroducerecyclingbinsforallthetenants in our building Raffles Tower

57 Total Environmental Protection Expenditure and InvestmentTo date the MIoD has invested in consultancy services to help it calculate its Ecological Footprint and produce its first Integrated Report at a total cost of Rs 150000 The Ecological Footprint calculation is the benchmark for reducing our footprint in the future

6 Social61 Risks Related to Corruption An ethics risk assessment which also covered corruption risks was undertaken in 2011-2 The assessment covered all the activities of the MIoD Thereafter the MIoD Code of Conduct was reviewed and revised to address ethical conduct within the Company and by its members A Whistleblowing Policy has also been implemented The Ethics Risk Assessment Report and the MIoD Whistleblowing Policy can be found on the MIoD website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepage

be relevant Actual results may differ from these estimates

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in

revision affects both current and future periods

Where applicable the notes to the financial statements set out areas where management has applied a higher degree of judgement

that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements or estimations and assumptions that have a

significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year

With regards to the nature of the Companyrsquos business there were no key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources

ended30June2013wouldincreasedecreasebyRs44543(yearended30June2012increasedecreasebyRs33311)Thisismainly

attributable to the companyrsquos exposure to interest rates on its floating rate interest bearing asset The company does not have any

significant variable rate borrowings outstanding at year end

1 Report Content and Reporting ParametersThis report marks two significant milestones for the MIoD It is the MIoDrsquos first Integrated Report and it also marks the first time that the GRI framework has been adopted for sustainability reporting by the MIoD These milestones are timely and are squarely aligned with MIoDrsquos position in the market to promote corporate sustainability and to lead by exampleThe integrated report has adopted the G31 guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative and it reflects MIoDrsquos commitment to provide a transparent and fair review of its strategy performance and activities in 2012-3 to its stakeholders The triple bottom line reporting has endeavoured to provide an open and honest summary of the social economic and environmental impacts stemming from our activities and commitments practices objectives and performance results regarding the management of our impacts The report contains a combination of quantitative and qualitative impactsMIoD has also adopted a learning-by-doing approach to internalise integrated sustainability reporting as a strategic management tool To reflect this approach we have realised this report in the GRI Level C application with the view that MIoD will graduate progressively to higher level reporting over time It is understood that the learning-by-doing approach implies that the processes tools and methodologies applied to identify prioritise and validate report content and reporting parameters will evolve over time Nevertheless the processes tools and methodologies are systemic and have been applied systematically to allow year-on-year comparisons of MIoDrsquos performance This is even more so because MIoD is a relatively young organisation that holds a unique position vis-agrave-vis its stakeholdersWe have used GRI Reporting Standard principles in determining the scope of the report content structure and quality and data calculation and disclosure techniques The content of this report discloses MIoDrsquos performance for the period starting July 1 2012 and ending June 30 2013

2 Report Scope amp BoundaryThe activities of MIoD cover the geographical area of the Republic of Mauritius and most of these activities take place in the island of Mauritius The report boundary is therefore the activities of MIoD in Mauritius In addition to GRIrsquos Sustainability Reporting Guidelines (GRI 31) the report also follows the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for financial reporting and the Code of Corporate Governance of Mauritius 2004 Boundaries for non-financial data collection are consistent with our financial reporting thus aligning financial environmental and social reporting Since stakeholder inclusiveness is a cross-cutting issue in determining the content and scope of reporting we have attempted to take into consideration the expectations of our stakeholders as well as to quantify or qualify the impacts of our activities on their well-being including present and future considerations and to take remedial actions Our stakeholder engagement processes are discussed below

3 Determining Report ContentGuided by the G31 reporting guidelines and principles and technical protocol the following criteria have been observed in preparing this reportStakeholder inclusivenessStakeholder identification and engagement have been carried out using a combination of three methods namely (1) market knowledge by virtue of being the main organization mandated to foster the development of corporate governance at the level of Boards and upper management in Mauritius (2) value-chain analysis to establish the entire supply chain of MIoDrsquos services including the enabling environment and business providers and (3) on-going surveys with existing and potential members

The stakeholders of the MIoD are set out below

MIoD appreciates the benefits derived from stakeholder engagement and endeavours to maintain close proximity with key stakeholders We carry out membership surveys ethics risk assessments and on-going evaluations of our training programmes to identify and address issues that are relevant to our stakeholders and also to engage our stakeholders in assessing MIoDrsquos performance risks and opportunities For instance the following examples are pertinent

Sustainability ContextAs a leading organization promoting corporate sustainability we consider sustainability as an integral aspect of our decision-making process and of the way we do business on the economic social and environmental fronts This is important on two counts namely (1) the increasing awareness in the Mauritian public and private sector for mainstreaming the three pillars of sustainable development and (2) the recognition that corporate sustainability can be a significant comparative advantage and differentiation strategy It is worth mentioning here that MIoDrsquos Integrated Report is squarely aligned with the newly adopted Maurice Ile Durable (MID) Policy Strategy and Action Plan of Mauritius especially concerning lsquoenhancing the corporate environment social responsibility and accountabilityrsquo (wwwmidmu ndash accessed 12 July 2013) The sectorial MID Strategy for employmenteconomy specifically refers to the use of GRI as a benchmark for developing a Sustainability Index for publicly listed companies

CompletenessWe have ensured that all the material topics and indicators covered in this report reflect completely the significant economic environmental and social impacts of our activities and enable our stakeholders to assess our performance in 2012-3 effectively

BalanceWe have attempted to present an unbiased picture of our performance by avoiding selections omissions or presentation formats that are reasonably likely to unduly or inappropriately influence the readerrsquos decision or judgment The report provides both favourable and unfavourable results as well as results that can influence the decisions of stakeholders in proportion to their materiality This is a commitment to MIoDrsquos transparency

ComparabilitySince this is the first integrated sustainability report results present the baseline data and information against which comparative performance analysis will be carried out in the future

AccuracyThe different data in this report have been presented both on a qualitative and quantitative basis In any case we have ensured openness in measurements and qualitative analyses while bearing in mind that data would need to be verifiable While the non-financial components of the present report have not been subject to an independent third party audit the processes methodologies and tools for generating and analysing quantitative and qualitative data were adopted because they lend themselves to such audits Where applicable such as in the case of Ecological Footprint analysis discussed below error analysis is provided to deal with uncertainties in measurements

TimelinessThis report will be issued for the purpose of the Annual Meeting of Members on 25 September 2013 It will enable all our stakeholders to assess this report and provide us with relevant feedback for future reporting This open review process forms an integral part of the learning-by-doing approach

ClarityThis report has been presented in a manner that is understandable accessible and usable by our stakeholders As far as practicable graphics and data tables have been used to present information

ReliabilityInformation and processes used in the preparation of this report have been consistently gathered recorded compiled analysed and disclosed in a way that has been subject to constant examination by a competent internal team together with the help of an external consultancy firm with experience in integrated sustainability reporting using the GRI G31 Reporting Guidelines and Principles

MaterialityAccording to the GRI G31 Guidelines materiality has to be determined by considering the economic environmental and social impacts that cross a threshold in affecting the ability to

meet the needs of the present without compromising the needs of future generations Since the identification of thresholds is not trivial especially when considering long-term impacts or impacts where root causes and their effects are delocalised geographically and across different time horizons the methodology applied by MIoD to gauge materiality is evolving as it strives to better integrate sustainability across its entire spectrum of operations and services The underlying approach is to identify and prioritise those impacts that have a propensity to create preserve or erode economic environmental and social value for itself and its stakeholders In order to be methodological and systematic a combination of approaches has been used to determine materiality and the contents of this reportbull ThelegalrequirementsoftheRepublicofMauritiusInmanyinstances the operating legal framework prescribes minimum or allowable socio-economic and environmental impacts and these thresholds are usually identified because of their materialitybull Adoptionofathoroughriskmanagementprocessthatallowsus to assess and mitigate the impacts of our operations (and vice versa) beyond the financial imperative The risk management process also makes visible opportunities to better serve our stakeholdersbull Bykeepingacloseproximitywithourstakeholdersasexplained above under lsquoStakeholder Inclusivenessrsquobull IdentificationofinternalissuesthroughmeetingswithMIoDteam members as well as subscribing to continuous learning to better adhere to our policies values strategies targets and risk management processes andbull CarryingoutanEcologicalFootprintanalysisofouroperationsthat cover the impacts of the following (1) food (mainly provided by third parties during delivery of MIoD training) (2) consumables (3) utilities buildings and transport and (4) waste The first Ecological Footprint analysis was carried out for the calendar year 2012 (a copy of the report can be obtained from our website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepage) and its results and recommendations were approved by the MIoDrsquos Board of Directors on 5 December 2012 The time period for the Ecological Footprint analysis has been revised to match the reporting period July 2012-June 2013 and the Footprint updated The analysis has been used to quantify impacts identify impacts of most significance and provide a basis for taking remedial actions across the value chain as discussed in this report Ecological Footprint analysis has been adopted as one way to deal with the difficulties in establishing thresholds for sustainability impacts The Ecological Footprint analysis also captures the ecological impacts of services delivered (except for electricity and primary energy consumption) by third party venues during MIoD training

MIoDrsquos materiality framework is evolving We are confident that the results presented here are sufficiently robust to instil confidence in the quality of the report The integrated Sustainability Report should be read in conjunction with our online resources

Validation is currently essentially an internally orientated process with authorisation by the CEO and Executive Secretary and ultimate approval of the Integrated Report by the Board of Directors

Performance indicators have been chosen for reporting purposes based on three main factors1 Results of the Ecological Footprint Analysis2 Our ability or maturity to respond and3 The opportunity for MIoD to grow and gain advantage from the impacts

The calculation of Performance Indicators has followed the GRI Indicator Protocols GHG emissions arising from the use of electricity has been calculated from the Grid Emission Factor of Mauritius using the methodological tool 07 ndash ie ldquoTool to calculate the emission factor for an electricity system (Version 0300) - proposed by the Clean Development Mechanism for calculating the operating margin (httpcdmunfcccintmethodologiesPAmethodologiestoolsam-tool-07-v300pdf )rdquo GHG emissions arising from business-related air travel have been calculated using the official ICAO online calculator (httpwww2icaointencarbonoffsetPagesdefaultaspx)

4 Market Position41 Range of Ratios of Standard Entry Level Wage by Gender The MIoD does not differentiate salaries on the basis of gender nor do we have a standard entry wage level for employees Entry salaries are based on industry and market benchmarks the entrantrsquos educational level and relevant experience The Board Nominations Committee is responsible for reviewing and recommending to the Board any changes to employeesrsquo remuneration Employees are rewarded for their contribution to the Companyrsquos performance based on their performance against annual KPIs and the companyrsquos financial position

The MIoD employs 5 staff excluding the CEO ndash 3 female and 2 male The lowest male basic salary is Rs 28618 and the lowest female basic monthly salary is Rs 14478 There is no official minimum wage in Mauritius in our sector However as per the Ministry of Labour and the National Remuneration Order for Travel Agents and Tour Operators Workers a similar service sector the minimum wages prescribed for comparable jobs are as follows

bull SeniorAccountsClerkRs10306bull AdministrativeClerkRs8717

Mauritius Institute of Directors - IntegratedReport Mauritius Institute of Directors - IntegratedReport32 33

Based on this methodology the ratio of entry level wage by gender compared to local minimum wage for comparable jobs is 126 for male staff and 117 for female staff The apparent difference between the two ratios does not imply gender bias at MIoD since for any specific position a male or female employee would receive the same remuneration all else being equal

The MIoD is focused on continually developing a workforce that is dedicated motivated and well trained in order to assure the Institutersquos future development and growth as well as providing long term employment for individual employees

To achieve this goal the MIoD provides competitive compensation and certain social benefits to all employees while maintaining a positive work environment The MIoD is committed to providing a total compensation package that enables the Institute to attract and retain skilled employees for all positions A competitive total compensation package includes an effective salary and a benefits plan which aims tobull payafairbasicsalaryforthejobbybenchmarkingagainst similar jobs and similar organisations in Mauritius and taking into consideration internal equity specific job requirements and the skills knowledge and abilities of the employeebull providebasicbenefitsandbull recogniseindividualcontributionthroughtheperformance bonus system

The total compensation package also includes payment of a 13th month salary in line with Mauritian legislation which is normally paid in December and is calculated proportionately to the time of service during the year All employees receive a pay slip and salaries are paid on 26th of each month by standing order

42 Suppliers The MIoD has adopted a lsquoProcurement Policyrsquo to ensure that all procurement activities carried out by the MIoDbull provide best possible valuebull are conducted in a fair objective and transparent mannerbull are compliant with all relevant legislation and any other related policiesbull use best practice in the application of ethical standards andbull are consistent with the MIoDrsquos Vision Mission and Values

The choice of suppliers is influenced by the above mentioned objectives Although environmental benefits are considered as part of the procurement process with due consideration given to all relevant aspects of whole life-cycle costs of products the MIoD does not have a specific policy of preferring locally based suppliers

For some events and where a local capacity gap exists the MIoD has recourse to overseas facilitators to bring best practice to Mauritius

The MIoD intends to assess the geographical spread of its

procurement practices and report on the percentage of procurement budget which is spent on local suppliers in its next financial year At the same time the need to amend the procurement policy to promote local suppliers will also be considered

43 Recruitment Policy Under the Equal Opportunities Act 2008 (lsquoEOArsquo) an employer cannot discriminate against an employeeprospective employee on the basis of the following

The EOA also specifies that employers should be exclusively merit-oriented in their approach when it comes to selecting recruiting employing appraising promoting or dismissing an employee

Although the guidelines are not of a mandatory nature for the MIoD as it employs less than 10 employees on a full-time basis the MIoD is committed to a policy of equal opportunities

Its HR Policies amp Guidelines provides that no unlawful discrimination occurs in the recruitment and selection process on the grounds of race religion or belief colour sex age national origin disability or sexual orientation The MIoDrsquos HR Policy and Guidelines can be found on the website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepageAll employees are hired from the local community although this is not explicitly stated in our HR Policy and Guidelines

5 Environmental Performance51 MaterialsThe main consumable materials used by the MIoD are shown in this chart

52 Energy Consumption The only direct energy consumption relates to fossil fuel used in transportation by MIoD staff for work purposes This amounted to 94113 MJ for the reporting period Also the indirect energy used by MIoD relates to the consumption of electricity derived from the national electricity grid This was 10386 kWh electric for the reporting year ndash ie 11217 GJ thermal MIoD is not a producer of direct or indirect energiesInitiatives to reduce indirect energy consumption need to be investigated in the coming year This could for example include more energy-efficient lighting technologies A key constraint for the implementation of energy efficiency measures in office spaces is attributed to the fact that MIoD is only a tenant and such changes will have to be carried out by the building owner or manager

53 Water The MIoDrsquos consumption of water includes water delivered by the Central Water Authority water consumed from water fountains and bottled water for training workshops This was 26 m3year for the reporting period

54 Greenhouse Gas Emissions The total CO2 emissions of the MIoD has been estimated at 206 tonnes for the reporting period with direct and indirect emissions contributing 57 and 149 tonnes of CO2 respectively as follows bull IndirectemissionsofCO2 arose from the consumption of electricity and air travel This amounted to 107 tonnes and 42 tonnes of CO2 respectivelybull TotaldirectCO2 emissions related to land transport has been estimated at 57 tonnes of CO2 The estimation is based on the total distance travelled (km) during the reporting year an average fuel efficiency of 12 kmlitre of gasoline and the emission factor of motor gasoline

55 Waste All waste produced by MIoD and related to MIoD activities were sent to the landfill during the reporting period The main sources of waste were paper (350 kg or 035 tonnes) and plastic (37 kg or 0037 tonnes) By virtue of its activities MIoD does not deal with hazardous wastes of any kind

56 Mitigation of Environmental Impacts Following the Ecological Footprint Report undertaken in 2012 three areas were highlighted that needed attention

(i) food (mainly provided by third parties during delivery of MIoD trainings) (ii) consumables and(iii) waste management

In this respect the MIoD has undertaken in the financial year 2013-4 to bull workwithourkeythirdpartyfoodsupplierstoimprovethequality of the food offered during our training sessions especially taking into account the health problems in Mauritian society such as diabetes and to reduce our ecological footprint in this respect We have also engaged the advice of a nutritionistbull reducetheamountofplasticthatwepurchasebothinourownoffice but also through our third party suppliers In this respect we now have a water dispenser delivered to each training venue on the day of our training workshop to avoid the use of plastic bottles for our training sessions The next step is to work with our suppliers to encourage them to adopt this practicebull reducetheamountofpaperandinthisrespectwehaveagreedwith our Board Directors that effective August 2013 that we will no longer use paper but instead adopt appropriate laptop or tablet software for board papers During this year we will also undertake a complete review of our use of paper especially the printing of training manuals and see if we can fully or partially adopt alternative solutions to reduce our footprint The objective over time must be to become paperless We also intend to meet with the Registrar of Companies to lobby for the reduction in printing of Annual Reports and to allow shareholders to receive a soft copy and opt for a hard copy by exceptionbull ensurethatallouroldelectronicgoodssuchasprintersorcomputers are properly recycled using genuine recyclers andbull workwithourlandlordstointroducerecyclingbinsforallthetenants in our building Raffles Tower

57 Total Environmental Protection Expenditure and InvestmentTo date the MIoD has invested in consultancy services to help it calculate its Ecological Footprint and produce its first Integrated Report at a total cost of Rs 150000 The Ecological Footprint calculation is the benchmark for reducing our footprint in the future

6 Social61 Risks Related to Corruption An ethics risk assessment which also covered corruption risks was undertaken in 2011-2 The assessment covered all the activities of the MIoD Thereafter the MIoD Code of Conduct was reviewed and revised to address ethical conduct within the Company and by its members A Whistleblowing Policy has also been implemented The Ethics Risk Assessment Report and the MIoD Whistleblowing Policy can be found on the MIoD website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepage

revision affects both current and future periods

Where applicable the notes to the financial statements set out areas where management has applied a higher degree of judgement

that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements or estimations and assumptions that have a

significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year

15 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

Interest rate sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for the non-derivative instruments at

the reporting date For floating rate assets the analysis is prepared assuming the amount of assets at the reporting date was owned

for the whole year A 50 basis point increase or decrease represents managementrsquos assessment of the reasonably possible change in

interest rates

If interest rates had been 50 basis points higherlower and all other variables were held constant the companyrsquos surplus for the year

ended30June2013wouldincreasedecreasebyRs44543(yearended30June2012increasedecreasebyRs33311)Thisismainly

attributable to the companyrsquos exposure to interest rates on its floating rate interest bearing asset The company does not have any

significant variable rate borrowings outstanding at year end

Liquidity risk management

The company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash and borrowing facilities by continuously monitoring forecast

and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities

The maturity profile of the financial instruments is summarised as follows

1 Report Content and Reporting ParametersThis report marks two significant milestones for the MIoD It is the MIoDrsquos first Integrated Report and it also marks the first time that the GRI framework has been adopted for sustainability reporting by the MIoD These milestones are timely and are squarely aligned with MIoDrsquos position in the market to promote corporate sustainability and to lead by exampleThe integrated report has adopted the G31 guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative and it reflects MIoDrsquos commitment to provide a transparent and fair review of its strategy performance and activities in 2012-3 to its stakeholders The triple bottom line reporting has endeavoured to provide an open and honest summary of the social economic and environmental impacts stemming from our activities and commitments practices objectives and performance results regarding the management of our impacts The report contains a combination of quantitative and qualitative impactsMIoD has also adopted a learning-by-doing approach to internalise integrated sustainability reporting as a strategic management tool To reflect this approach we have realised this report in the GRI Level C application with the view that MIoD will graduate progressively to higher level reporting over time It is understood that the learning-by-doing approach implies that the processes tools and methodologies applied to identify prioritise and validate report content and reporting parameters will evolve over time Nevertheless the processes tools and methodologies are systemic and have been applied systematically to allow year-on-year comparisons of MIoDrsquos performance This is even more so because MIoD is a relatively young organisation that holds a unique position vis-agrave-vis its stakeholdersWe have used GRI Reporting Standard principles in determining the scope of the report content structure and quality and data calculation and disclosure techniques The content of this report discloses MIoDrsquos performance for the period starting July 1 2012 and ending June 30 2013

2 Report Scope amp BoundaryThe activities of MIoD cover the geographical area of the Republic of Mauritius and most of these activities take place in the island of Mauritius The report boundary is therefore the activities of MIoD in Mauritius In addition to GRIrsquos Sustainability Reporting Guidelines (GRI 31) the report also follows the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for financial reporting and the Code of Corporate Governance of Mauritius 2004 Boundaries for non-financial data collection are consistent with our financial reporting thus aligning financial environmental and social reporting Since stakeholder inclusiveness is a cross-cutting issue in determining the content and scope of reporting we have attempted to take into consideration the expectations of our stakeholders as well as to quantify or qualify the impacts of our activities on their well-being including present and future considerations and to take remedial actions Our stakeholder engagement processes are discussed below

3 Determining Report ContentGuided by the G31 reporting guidelines and principles and technical protocol the following criteria have been observed in preparing this reportStakeholder inclusivenessStakeholder identification and engagement have been carried out using a combination of three methods namely (1) market knowledge by virtue of being the main organization mandated to foster the development of corporate governance at the level of Boards and upper management in Mauritius (2) value-chain analysis to establish the entire supply chain of MIoDrsquos services including the enabling environment and business providers and (3) on-going surveys with existing and potential members

The stakeholders of the MIoD are set out below

MIoD appreciates the benefits derived from stakeholder engagement and endeavours to maintain close proximity with key stakeholders We carry out membership surveys ethics risk assessments and on-going evaluations of our training programmes to identify and address issues that are relevant to our stakeholders and also to engage our stakeholders in assessing MIoDrsquos performance risks and opportunities For instance the following examples are pertinent

Sustainability ContextAs a leading organization promoting corporate sustainability we consider sustainability as an integral aspect of our decision-making process and of the way we do business on the economic social and environmental fronts This is important on two counts namely (1) the increasing awareness in the Mauritian public and private sector for mainstreaming the three pillars of sustainable development and (2) the recognition that corporate sustainability can be a significant comparative advantage and differentiation strategy It is worth mentioning here that MIoDrsquos Integrated Report is squarely aligned with the newly adopted Maurice Ile Durable (MID) Policy Strategy and Action Plan of Mauritius especially concerning lsquoenhancing the corporate environment social responsibility and accountabilityrsquo (wwwmidmu ndash accessed 12 July 2013) The sectorial MID Strategy for employmenteconomy specifically refers to the use of GRI as a benchmark for developing a Sustainability Index for publicly listed companies

CompletenessWe have ensured that all the material topics and indicators covered in this report reflect completely the significant economic environmental and social impacts of our activities and enable our stakeholders to assess our performance in 2012-3 effectively

BalanceWe have attempted to present an unbiased picture of our performance by avoiding selections omissions or presentation formats that are reasonably likely to unduly or inappropriately influence the readerrsquos decision or judgment The report provides both favourable and unfavourable results as well as results that can influence the decisions of stakeholders in proportion to their materiality This is a commitment to MIoDrsquos transparency

ComparabilitySince this is the first integrated sustainability report results present the baseline data and information against which comparative performance analysis will be carried out in the future

AccuracyThe different data in this report have been presented both on a qualitative and quantitative basis In any case we have ensured openness in measurements and qualitative analyses while bearing in mind that data would need to be verifiable While the non-financial components of the present report have not been subject to an independent third party audit the processes methodologies and tools for generating and analysing quantitative and qualitative data were adopted because they lend themselves to such audits Where applicable such as in the case of Ecological Footprint analysis discussed below error analysis is provided to deal with uncertainties in measurements

TimelinessThis report will be issued for the purpose of the Annual Meeting of Members on 25 September 2013 It will enable all our stakeholders to assess this report and provide us with relevant feedback for future reporting This open review process forms an integral part of the learning-by-doing approach

ClarityThis report has been presented in a manner that is understandable accessible and usable by our stakeholders As far as practicable graphics and data tables have been used to present information

ReliabilityInformation and processes used in the preparation of this report have been consistently gathered recorded compiled analysed and disclosed in a way that has been subject to constant examination by a competent internal team together with the help of an external consultancy firm with experience in integrated sustainability reporting using the GRI G31 Reporting Guidelines and Principles

MaterialityAccording to the GRI G31 Guidelines materiality has to be determined by considering the economic environmental and social impacts that cross a threshold in affecting the ability to

meet the needs of the present without compromising the needs of future generations Since the identification of thresholds is not trivial especially when considering long-term impacts or impacts where root causes and their effects are delocalised geographically and across different time horizons the methodology applied by MIoD to gauge materiality is evolving as it strives to better integrate sustainability across its entire spectrum of operations and services The underlying approach is to identify and prioritise those impacts that have a propensity to create preserve or erode economic environmental and social value for itself and its stakeholders In order to be methodological and systematic a combination of approaches has been used to determine materiality and the contents of this reportbull ThelegalrequirementsoftheRepublicofMauritiusInmanyinstances the operating legal framework prescribes minimum or allowable socio-economic and environmental impacts and these thresholds are usually identified because of their materialitybull Adoptionofathoroughriskmanagementprocessthatallowsus to assess and mitigate the impacts of our operations (and vice versa) beyond the financial imperative The risk management process also makes visible opportunities to better serve our stakeholdersbull Bykeepingacloseproximitywithourstakeholdersasexplained above under lsquoStakeholder Inclusivenessrsquobull IdentificationofinternalissuesthroughmeetingswithMIoDteam members as well as subscribing to continuous learning to better adhere to our policies values strategies targets and risk management processes andbull CarryingoutanEcologicalFootprintanalysisofouroperationsthat cover the impacts of the following (1) food (mainly provided by third parties during delivery of MIoD training) (2) consumables (3) utilities buildings and transport and (4) waste The first Ecological Footprint analysis was carried out for the calendar year 2012 (a copy of the report can be obtained from our website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepage) and its results and recommendations were approved by the MIoDrsquos Board of Directors on 5 December 2012 The time period for the Ecological Footprint analysis has been revised to match the reporting period July 2012-June 2013 and the Footprint updated The analysis has been used to quantify impacts identify impacts of most significance and provide a basis for taking remedial actions across the value chain as discussed in this report Ecological Footprint analysis has been adopted as one way to deal with the difficulties in establishing thresholds for sustainability impacts The Ecological Footprint analysis also captures the ecological impacts of services delivered (except for electricity and primary energy consumption) by third party venues during MIoD training

MIoDrsquos materiality framework is evolving We are confident that the results presented here are sufficiently robust to instil confidence in the quality of the report The integrated Sustainability Report should be read in conjunction with our online resources

Validation is currently essentially an internally orientated process with authorisation by the CEO and Executive Secretary and ultimate approval of the Integrated Report by the Board of Directors

Performance indicators have been chosen for reporting purposes based on three main factors1 Results of the Ecological Footprint Analysis2 Our ability or maturity to respond and3 The opportunity for MIoD to grow and gain advantage from the impacts

The calculation of Performance Indicators has followed the GRI Indicator Protocols GHG emissions arising from the use of electricity has been calculated from the Grid Emission Factor of Mauritius using the methodological tool 07 ndash ie ldquoTool to calculate the emission factor for an electricity system (Version 0300) - proposed by the Clean Development Mechanism for calculating the operating margin (httpcdmunfcccintmethodologiesPAmethodologiestoolsam-tool-07-v300pdf )rdquo GHG emissions arising from business-related air travel have been calculated using the official ICAO online calculator (httpwww2icaointencarbonoffsetPagesdefaultaspx)

Based on this methodology the ratio of entry level wage by gender compared to local minimum wage for comparable jobs is 126 for male staff and 117 for female staff The apparent difference between the two ratios does not imply gender bias at MIoD since for any specific position a male or female employee would receive the same remuneration all else being equal

The MIoD is focused on continually developing a workforce that is dedicated motivated and well trained in order to assure the Institutersquos future development and growth as well as providing long term employment for individual employees

To achieve this goal the MIoD provides competitive compensation and certain social benefits to all employees while maintaining a positive work environment The MIoD is committed to providing a total compensation package that enables the Institute to attract and retain skilled employees for all positions A competitive total compensation package includes an effective salary and a benefits plan which aims tobull payafairbasicsalaryforthejobbybenchmarkingagainst similar jobs and similar organisations in Mauritius and taking into consideration internal equity specific job requirements and the skills knowledge and abilities of the employeebull providebasicbenefitsandbull recogniseindividualcontributionthroughtheperformance bonus system

The total compensation package also includes payment of a 13th month salary in line with Mauritian legislation which is normally paid in December and is calculated proportionately to the time of service during the year All employees receive a pay slip and salaries are paid on 26th of each month by standing order

42 Suppliers The MIoD has adopted a lsquoProcurement Policyrsquo to ensure that all procurement activities carried out by the MIoDbull provide best possible valuebull are conducted in a fair objective and transparent mannerbull are compliant with all relevant legislation and any other related policiesbull use best practice in the application of ethical standards andbull are consistent with the MIoDrsquos Vision Mission and Values

The choice of suppliers is influenced by the above mentioned objectives Although environmental benefits are considered as part of the procurement process with due consideration given to all relevant aspects of whole life-cycle costs of products the MIoD does not have a specific policy of preferring locally based suppliers

For some events and where a local capacity gap exists the MIoD has recourse to overseas facilitators to bring best practice to Mauritius

The MIoD intends to assess the geographical spread of its

procurement practices and report on the percentage of procurement budget which is spent on local suppliers in its next financial year At the same time the need to amend the procurement policy to promote local suppliers will also be considered

43 Recruitment Policy Under the Equal Opportunities Act 2008 (lsquoEOArsquo) an employer cannot discriminate against an employeeprospective employee on the basis of the following

The EOA also specifies that employers should be exclusively merit-oriented in their approach when it comes to selecting recruiting employing appraising promoting or dismissing an employee

Although the guidelines are not of a mandatory nature for the MIoD as it employs less than 10 employees on a full-time basis the MIoD is committed to a policy of equal opportunities

Its HR Policies amp Guidelines provides that no unlawful discrimination occurs in the recruitment and selection process on the grounds of race religion or belief colour sex age national origin disability or sexual orientation The MIoDrsquos HR Policy and Guidelines can be found on the website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepageAll employees are hired from the local community although this is not explicitly stated in our HR Policy and Guidelines

5 Environmental Performance51 MaterialsThe main consumable materials used by the MIoD are shown in this chart

52 Energy Consumption The only direct energy consumption relates to fossil fuel used in transportation by MIoD staff for work purposes This amounted to 94113 MJ for the reporting period Also the indirect energy used by MIoD relates to the consumption of electricity derived from the national electricity grid This was 10386 kWh electric for the reporting year ndash ie 11217 GJ thermal MIoD is not a producer of direct or indirect energiesInitiatives to reduce indirect energy consumption need to be investigated in the coming year This could for example include more energy-efficient lighting technologies A key constraint for the implementation of energy efficiency measures in office spaces is attributed to the fact that MIoD is only a tenant and such changes will have to be carried out by the building owner or manager

53 Water The MIoDrsquos consumption of water includes water delivered by the Central Water Authority water consumed from water fountains and bottled water for training workshops This was 26 m3year for the reporting period

54 Greenhouse Gas Emissions The total CO2 emissions of the MIoD has been estimated at 206 tonnes for the reporting period with direct and indirect emissions contributing 57 and 149 tonnes of CO2 respectively as follows bull IndirectemissionsofCO2 arose from the consumption of electricity and air travel This amounted to 107 tonnes and 42 tonnes of CO2 respectivelybull TotaldirectCO2 emissions related to land transport has been estimated at 57 tonnes of CO2 The estimation is based on the total distance travelled (km) during the reporting year an average fuel efficiency of 12 kmlitre of gasoline and the emission factor of motor gasoline

55 Waste All waste produced by MIoD and related to MIoD activities were sent to the landfill during the reporting period The main sources of waste were paper (350 kg or 035 tonnes) and plastic (37 kg or 0037 tonnes) By virtue of its activities MIoD does not deal with hazardous wastes of any kind

56 Mitigation of Environmental Impacts Following the Ecological Footprint Report undertaken in 2012 three areas were highlighted that needed attention

(i) food (mainly provided by third parties during delivery of MIoD trainings) (ii) consumables and(iii) waste management

In this respect the MIoD has undertaken in the financial year 2013-4 to bull workwithourkeythirdpartyfoodsupplierstoimprovethequality of the food offered during our training sessions especially taking into account the health problems in Mauritian society such as diabetes and to reduce our ecological footprint in this respect We have also engaged the advice of a nutritionistbull reducetheamountofplasticthatwepurchasebothinourownoffice but also through our third party suppliers In this respect we now have a water dispenser delivered to each training venue on the day of our training workshop to avoid the use of plastic bottles for our training sessions The next step is to work with our suppliers to encourage them to adopt this practicebull reducetheamountofpaperandinthisrespectwehaveagreedwith our Board Directors that effective August 2013 that we will no longer use paper but instead adopt appropriate laptop or tablet software for board papers During this year we will also undertake a complete review of our use of paper especially the printing of training manuals and see if we can fully or partially adopt alternative solutions to reduce our footprint The objective over time must be to become paperless We also intend to meet with the Registrar of Companies to lobby for the reduction in printing of Annual Reports and to allow shareholders to receive a soft copy and opt for a hard copy by exceptionbull ensurethatallouroldelectronicgoodssuchasprintersorcomputers are properly recycled using genuine recyclers andbull workwithourlandlordstointroducerecyclingbinsforallthetenants in our building Raffles Tower

57 Total Environmental Protection Expenditure and InvestmentTo date the MIoD has invested in consultancy services to help it calculate its Ecological Footprint and produce its first Integrated Report at a total cost of Rs 150000 The Ecological Footprint calculation is the benchmark for reducing our footprint in the future

6 Social61 Risks Related to Corruption An ethics risk assessment which also covered corruption risks was undertaken in 2011-2 The assessment covered all the activities of the MIoD Thereafter the MIoD Code of Conduct was reviewed and revised to address ethical conduct within the Company and by its members A Whistleblowing Policy has also been implemented The Ethics Risk Assessment Report and the MIoD Whistleblowing Policy can be found on the MIoD website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepage

2 APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (IFRSs)

21 Amendments to IFRSs affecting amounts reported in the financial statements

The following amendments to IFRSs have been applied in the current year and have affected the amounts reported in these

financial statements

211 Amendments to IFRSs affecting presentation and disclosure only

bull Amendments to IFRS 7 Disclosures ndash Transfers of Financial Assets

The amendments increase the disclosure requirements for transactions involving the transfer of financial assets in order to provide

greater transparency around risk exposures when financial assets are transferred

bull Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income

The amendments introduce new terminology for the statement of comprehensive income and income statement Under the

amendments to IAS 1 the lsquostatement of comprehensive incomersquo is renamed the lsquostatement of profit or loss and other comprehensive

incomersquo and the lsquoincome statementrsquo is renamed the lsquostatement of profit or lossrsquo The amendments to IAS 1 retain the option to

present profit or loss and other comprehensive income in either a single statement or in two separate but consecutive statements

However the amendments to IAS 1 require items of other comprehensive income to be grouped into two categories in the other

comprehensiveincomesection(a)itemsthatwillnotbereclassifiedsubsequentlytoprofitorlossand(b)itemsthatmaybe

reclassified subsequently to profit or loss when specific conditions are met Income tax on items of other comprehensive income is

required to be allocated on the same basis ndash the amendments do not change the option to present items of other comprehensive

income either before tax or net of tax The amendments have been applied retrospectively and hence the presentation of items of

other comprehensive income has been modified to reflect the changes Other than the above mentioned presentation changes

ended30June2013wouldincreasedecreasebyRs44543(yearended30June2012increasedecreasebyRs33311)Thisismainly

attributable to the companyrsquos exposure to interest rates on its floating rate interest bearing asset The company does not have any

significant variable rate borrowings outstanding at year end

and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities

Sustainability ContextAs a leading organization promoting corporate sustainability we consider sustainability as an integral aspect of our decision-making process and of the way we do business on the economic social and environmental fronts This is important on two counts namely (1) the increasing awareness in the Mauritian public and private sector for mainstreaming the three pillars of sustainable development and (2) the recognition that corporate sustainability can be a significant comparative advantage and differentiation strategy It is worth mentioning here that MIoDrsquos Integrated Report is squarely aligned with the newly adopted Maurice Ile Durable (MID) Policy Strategy and Action Plan of Mauritius especially concerning lsquoenhancing the corporate environment social responsibility and accountabilityrsquo (wwwmidmu ndash accessed 12 July 2013) The sectorial MID Strategy for employmenteconomy specifically refers to the use of GRI as a benchmark for developing a Sustainability Index for publicly listed companies

CompletenessWe have ensured that all the material topics and indicators covered in this report reflect completely the significant economic environmental and social impacts of our activities and enable our stakeholders to assess our performance in 2012-3 effectively

BalanceWe have attempted to present an unbiased picture of our performance by avoiding selections omissions or presentation formats that are reasonably likely to unduly or inappropriately influence the readerrsquos decision or judgment The report provides both favourable and unfavourable results as well as results that can influence the decisions of stakeholders in proportion to their materiality This is a commitment to MIoDrsquos transparency

ComparabilitySince this is the first integrated sustainability report results present the baseline data and information against which comparative performance analysis will be carried out in the future

AccuracyThe different data in this report have been presented both on a qualitative and quantitative basis In any case we have ensured openness in measurements and qualitative analyses while bearing in mind that data would need to be verifiable While the non-financial components of the present report have not been subject to an independent third party audit the processes methodologies and tools for generating and analysing quantitative and qualitative data were adopted because they lend themselves to such audits Where applicable such as in the case of Ecological Footprint analysis discussed below error analysis is provided to deal with uncertainties in measurements

TimelinessThis report will be issued for the purpose of the Annual Meeting of Members on 25 September 2013 It will enable all our stakeholders to assess this report and provide us with relevant feedback for future reporting This open review process forms an integral part of the learning-by-doing approach

ClarityThis report has been presented in a manner that is understandable accessible and usable by our stakeholders As far as practicable graphics and data tables have been used to present information

ReliabilityInformation and processes used in the preparation of this report have been consistently gathered recorded compiled analysed and disclosed in a way that has been subject to constant examination by a competent internal team together with the help of an external consultancy firm with experience in integrated sustainability reporting using the GRI G31 Reporting Guidelines and Principles

MaterialityAccording to the GRI G31 Guidelines materiality has to be determined by considering the economic environmental and social impacts that cross a threshold in affecting the ability to

meet the needs of the present without compromising the needs of future generations Since the identification of thresholds is not trivial especially when considering long-term impacts or impacts where root causes and their effects are delocalised geographically and across different time horizons the methodology applied by MIoD to gauge materiality is evolving as it strives to better integrate sustainability across its entire spectrum of operations and services The underlying approach is to identify and prioritise those impacts that have a propensity to create preserve or erode economic environmental and social value for itself and its stakeholders In order to be methodological and systematic a combination of approaches has been used to determine materiality and the contents of this reportbull ThelegalrequirementsoftheRepublicofMauritiusInmanyinstances the operating legal framework prescribes minimum or allowable socio-economic and environmental impacts and these thresholds are usually identified because of their materialitybull Adoptionofathoroughriskmanagementprocessthatallowsus to assess and mitigate the impacts of our operations (and vice versa) beyond the financial imperative The risk management process also makes visible opportunities to better serve our stakeholdersbull Bykeepingacloseproximitywithourstakeholdersasexplained above under lsquoStakeholder Inclusivenessrsquobull IdentificationofinternalissuesthroughmeetingswithMIoDteam members as well as subscribing to continuous learning to better adhere to our policies values strategies targets and risk management processes andbull CarryingoutanEcologicalFootprintanalysisofouroperationsthat cover the impacts of the following (1) food (mainly provided by third parties during delivery of MIoD training) (2) consumables (3) utilities buildings and transport and (4) waste The first Ecological Footprint analysis was carried out for the calendar year 2012 (a copy of the report can be obtained from our website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepage) and its results and recommendations were approved by the MIoDrsquos Board of Directors on 5 December 2012 The time period for the Ecological Footprint analysis has been revised to match the reporting period July 2012-June 2013 and the Footprint updated The analysis has been used to quantify impacts identify impacts of most significance and provide a basis for taking remedial actions across the value chain as discussed in this report Ecological Footprint analysis has been adopted as one way to deal with the difficulties in establishing thresholds for sustainability impacts The Ecological Footprint analysis also captures the ecological impacts of services delivered (except for electricity and primary energy consumption) by third party venues during MIoD training

MIoDrsquos materiality framework is evolving We are confident that the results presented here are sufficiently robust to instil confidence in the quality of the report The integrated Sustainability Report should be read in conjunction with our online resources

Validation is currently essentially an internally orientated process with authorisation by the CEO and Executive Secretary and ultimate approval of the Integrated Report by the Board of Directors

Performance indicators have been chosen for reporting purposes based on three main factors1 Results of the Ecological Footprint Analysis2 Our ability or maturity to respond and3 The opportunity for MIoD to grow and gain advantage from the impacts

The calculation of Performance Indicators has followed the GRI Indicator Protocols GHG emissions arising from the use of electricity has been calculated from the Grid Emission Factor of Mauritius using the methodological tool 07 ndash ie ldquoTool to calculate the emission factor for an electricity system (Version 0300) - proposed by the Clean Development Mechanism for calculating the operating margin (httpcdmunfcccintmethodologiesPAmethodologiestoolsam-tool-07-v300pdf )rdquo GHG emissions arising from business-related air travel have been calculated using the official ICAO online calculator (httpwww2icaointencarbonoffsetPagesdefaultaspx)

4 Market Position41 Range of Ratios of Standard Entry Level Wage by Gender The MIoD does not differentiate salaries on the basis of gender nor do we have a standard entry wage level for employees Entry salaries are based on industry and market benchmarks the entrantrsquos educational level and relevant experience The Board Nominations Committee is responsible for reviewing and recommending to the Board any changes to employeesrsquo remuneration Employees are rewarded for their contribution to the Companyrsquos performance based on their performance against annual KPIs and the companyrsquos financial position

The MIoD employs 5 staff excluding the CEO ndash 3 female and 2 male The lowest male basic salary is Rs 28618 and the lowest female basic monthly salary is Rs 14478 There is no official minimum wage in Mauritius in our sector However as per the Ministry of Labour and the National Remuneration Order for Travel Agents and Tour Operators Workers a similar service sector the minimum wages prescribed for comparable jobs are as follows

bull SeniorAccountsClerkRs10306bull AdministrativeClerkRs8717

Mauritius Institute of Directors - IntegratedReport Mauritius Institute of Directors - IntegratedReport32 33

Based on this methodology the ratio of entry level wage by gender compared to local minimum wage for comparable jobs is 126 for male staff and 117 for female staff The apparent difference between the two ratios does not imply gender bias at MIoD since for any specific position a male or female employee would receive the same remuneration all else being equal

The MIoD is focused on continually developing a workforce that is dedicated motivated and well trained in order to assure the Institutersquos future development and growth as well as providing long term employment for individual employees

To achieve this goal the MIoD provides competitive compensation and certain social benefits to all employees while maintaining a positive work environment The MIoD is committed to providing a total compensation package that enables the Institute to attract and retain skilled employees for all positions A competitive total compensation package includes an effective salary and a benefits plan which aims tobull payafairbasicsalaryforthejobbybenchmarkingagainst similar jobs and similar organisations in Mauritius and taking into consideration internal equity specific job requirements and the skills knowledge and abilities of the employeebull providebasicbenefitsandbull recogniseindividualcontributionthroughtheperformance bonus system

The total compensation package also includes payment of a 13th month salary in line with Mauritian legislation which is normally paid in December and is calculated proportionately to the time of service during the year All employees receive a pay slip and salaries are paid on 26th of each month by standing order

42 Suppliers The MIoD has adopted a lsquoProcurement Policyrsquo to ensure that all procurement activities carried out by the MIoDbull provide best possible valuebull are conducted in a fair objective and transparent mannerbull are compliant with all relevant legislation and any other related policiesbull use best practice in the application of ethical standards andbull are consistent with the MIoDrsquos Vision Mission and Values

The choice of suppliers is influenced by the above mentioned objectives Although environmental benefits are considered as part of the procurement process with due consideration given to all relevant aspects of whole life-cycle costs of products the MIoD does not have a specific policy of preferring locally based suppliers

For some events and where a local capacity gap exists the MIoD has recourse to overseas facilitators to bring best practice to Mauritius

The MIoD intends to assess the geographical spread of its

procurement practices and report on the percentage of procurement budget which is spent on local suppliers in its next financial year At the same time the need to amend the procurement policy to promote local suppliers will also be considered

43 Recruitment Policy Under the Equal Opportunities Act 2008 (lsquoEOArsquo) an employer cannot discriminate against an employeeprospective employee on the basis of the following

The EOA also specifies that employers should be exclusively merit-oriented in their approach when it comes to selecting recruiting employing appraising promoting or dismissing an employee

Although the guidelines are not of a mandatory nature for the MIoD as it employs less than 10 employees on a full-time basis the MIoD is committed to a policy of equal opportunities

Its HR Policies amp Guidelines provides that no unlawful discrimination occurs in the recruitment and selection process on the grounds of race religion or belief colour sex age national origin disability or sexual orientation The MIoDrsquos HR Policy and Guidelines can be found on the website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepageAll employees are hired from the local community although this is not explicitly stated in our HR Policy and Guidelines

5 Environmental Performance51 MaterialsThe main consumable materials used by the MIoD are shown in this chart

52 Energy Consumption The only direct energy consumption relates to fossil fuel used in transportation by MIoD staff for work purposes This amounted to 94113 MJ for the reporting period Also the indirect energy used by MIoD relates to the consumption of electricity derived from the national electricity grid This was 10386 kWh electric for the reporting year ndash ie 11217 GJ thermal MIoD is not a producer of direct or indirect energiesInitiatives to reduce indirect energy consumption need to be investigated in the coming year This could for example include more energy-efficient lighting technologies A key constraint for the implementation of energy efficiency measures in office spaces is attributed to the fact that MIoD is only a tenant and such changes will have to be carried out by the building owner or manager

53 Water The MIoDrsquos consumption of water includes water delivered by the Central Water Authority water consumed from water fountains and bottled water for training workshops This was 26 m3year for the reporting period

54 Greenhouse Gas Emissions The total CO2 emissions of the MIoD has been estimated at 206 tonnes for the reporting period with direct and indirect emissions contributing 57 and 149 tonnes of CO2 respectively as follows bull IndirectemissionsofCO2 arose from the consumption of electricity and air travel This amounted to 107 tonnes and 42 tonnes of CO2 respectivelybull TotaldirectCO2 emissions related to land transport has been estimated at 57 tonnes of CO2 The estimation is based on the total distance travelled (km) during the reporting year an average fuel efficiency of 12 kmlitre of gasoline and the emission factor of motor gasoline

55 Waste All waste produced by MIoD and related to MIoD activities were sent to the landfill during the reporting period The main sources of waste were paper (350 kg or 035 tonnes) and plastic (37 kg or 0037 tonnes) By virtue of its activities MIoD does not deal with hazardous wastes of any kind

56 Mitigation of Environmental Impacts Following the Ecological Footprint Report undertaken in 2012 three areas were highlighted that needed attention

(i) food (mainly provided by third parties during delivery of MIoD trainings) (ii) consumables and(iii) waste management

In this respect the MIoD has undertaken in the financial year 2013-4 to bull workwithourkeythirdpartyfoodsupplierstoimprovethequality of the food offered during our training sessions especially taking into account the health problems in Mauritian society such as diabetes and to reduce our ecological footprint in this respect We have also engaged the advice of a nutritionistbull reducetheamountofplasticthatwepurchasebothinourownoffice but also through our third party suppliers In this respect we now have a water dispenser delivered to each training venue on the day of our training workshop to avoid the use of plastic bottles for our training sessions The next step is to work with our suppliers to encourage them to adopt this practicebull reducetheamountofpaperandinthisrespectwehaveagreedwith our Board Directors that effective August 2013 that we will no longer use paper but instead adopt appropriate laptop or tablet software for board papers During this year we will also undertake a complete review of our use of paper especially the printing of training manuals and see if we can fully or partially adopt alternative solutions to reduce our footprint The objective over time must be to become paperless We also intend to meet with the Registrar of Companies to lobby for the reduction in printing of Annual Reports and to allow shareholders to receive a soft copy and opt for a hard copy by exceptionbull ensurethatallouroldelectronicgoodssuchasprintersorcomputers are properly recycled using genuine recyclers andbull workwithourlandlordstointroducerecyclingbinsforallthetenants in our building Raffles Tower

57 Total Environmental Protection Expenditure and InvestmentTo date the MIoD has invested in consultancy services to help it calculate its Ecological Footprint and produce its first Integrated Report at a total cost of Rs 150000 The Ecological Footprint calculation is the benchmark for reducing our footprint in the future

6 Social61 Risks Related to Corruption An ethics risk assessment which also covered corruption risks was undertaken in 2011-2 The assessment covered all the activities of the MIoD Thereafter the MIoD Code of Conduct was reviewed and revised to address ethical conduct within the Company and by its members A Whistleblowing Policy has also been implemented The Ethics Risk Assessment Report and the MIoD Whistleblowing Policy can be found on the MIoD website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepage

be relevant Actual results may differ from these estimates

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in

revision affects both current and future periods

Where applicable the notes to the financial statements set out areas where management has applied a higher degree of judgement

that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements or estimations and assumptions that have a

significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year

With regards to the nature of the Companyrsquos business there were no key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources

ended30June2013wouldincreasedecreasebyRs44543(yearended30June2012increasedecreasebyRs33311)Thisismainly

attributable to the companyrsquos exposure to interest rates on its floating rate interest bearing asset The company does not have any

significant variable rate borrowings outstanding at year end

Mauritius Institute of Directors - IntegratedReport Mauritius Institute of Directors - IntegratedReport32 33

Based on this methodology the ratio of entry level wage by gender compared to local minimum wage for comparable jobs is 126 for male staff and 117 for female staff The apparent difference between the two ratios does not imply gender bias at MIoD since for any specific position a male or female employee would receive the same remuneration all else being equal

The MIoD is focused on continually developing a workforce that is dedicated motivated and well trained in order to assure the Institutersquos future development and growth as well as providing long term employment for individual employees

To achieve this goal the MIoD provides competitive compensation and certain social benefits to all employees while maintaining a positive work environment The MIoD is committed to providing a total compensation package that enables the Institute to attract and retain skilled employees for all positions A competitive total compensation package includes an effective salary and a benefits plan which aims tobull payafairbasicsalaryforthejobbybenchmarkingagainst similar jobs and similar organisations in Mauritius and taking into consideration internal equity specific job requirements and the skills knowledge and abilities of the employeebull providebasicbenefitsandbull recogniseindividualcontributionthroughtheperformance bonus system

The total compensation package also includes payment of a 13th month salary in line with Mauritian legislation which is normally paid in December and is calculated proportionately to the time of service during the year All employees receive a pay slip and salaries are paid on 26th of each month by standing order

42 Suppliers The MIoD has adopted a lsquoProcurement Policyrsquo to ensure that all procurement activities carried out by the MIoDbull provide best possible valuebull are conducted in a fair objective and transparent mannerbull are compliant with all relevant legislation and any other related policiesbull use best practice in the application of ethical standards andbull are consistent with the MIoDrsquos Vision Mission and Values

The choice of suppliers is influenced by the above mentioned objectives Although environmental benefits are considered as part of the procurement process with due consideration given to all relevant aspects of whole life-cycle costs of products the MIoD does not have a specific policy of preferring locally based suppliers

For some events and where a local capacity gap exists the MIoD has recourse to overseas facilitators to bring best practice to Mauritius

The MIoD intends to assess the geographical spread of its

procurement practices and report on the percentage of procurement budget which is spent on local suppliers in its next financial year At the same time the need to amend the procurement policy to promote local suppliers will also be considered

43 Recruitment Policy Under the Equal Opportunities Act 2008 (lsquoEOArsquo) an employer cannot discriminate against an employeeprospective employee on the basis of the following

The EOA also specifies that employers should be exclusively merit-oriented in their approach when it comes to selecting recruiting employing appraising promoting or dismissing an employee

Although the guidelines are not of a mandatory nature for the MIoD as it employs less than 10 employees on a full-time basis the MIoD is committed to a policy of equal opportunities

Its HR Policies amp Guidelines provides that no unlawful discrimination occurs in the recruitment and selection process on the grounds of race religion or belief colour sex age national origin disability or sexual orientation The MIoDrsquos HR Policy and Guidelines can be found on the website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepageAll employees are hired from the local community although this is not explicitly stated in our HR Policy and Guidelines

5 Environmental Performance51 MaterialsThe main consumable materials used by the MIoD are shown in this chart

52 Energy Consumption The only direct energy consumption relates to fossil fuel used in transportation by MIoD staff for work purposes This amounted to 94113 MJ for the reporting period Also the indirect energy used by MIoD relates to the consumption of electricity derived from the national electricity grid This was 10386 kWh electric for the reporting year ndash ie 11217 GJ thermal MIoD is not a producer of direct or indirect energiesInitiatives to reduce indirect energy consumption need to be investigated in the coming year This could for example include more energy-efficient lighting technologies A key constraint for the implementation of energy efficiency measures in office spaces is attributed to the fact that MIoD is only a tenant and such changes will have to be carried out by the building owner or manager

53 Water The MIoDrsquos consumption of water includes water delivered by the Central Water Authority water consumed from water fountains and bottled water for training workshops This was 26 m3year for the reporting period

54 Greenhouse Gas Emissions The total CO2 emissions of the MIoD has been estimated at 206 tonnes for the reporting period with direct and indirect emissions contributing 57 and 149 tonnes of CO2 respectively as follows bull IndirectemissionsofCO2 arose from the consumption of electricity and air travel This amounted to 107 tonnes and 42 tonnes of CO2 respectivelybull TotaldirectCO2 emissions related to land transport has been estimated at 57 tonnes of CO2 The estimation is based on the total distance travelled (km) during the reporting year an average fuel efficiency of 12 kmlitre of gasoline and the emission factor of motor gasoline

55 Waste All waste produced by MIoD and related to MIoD activities were sent to the landfill during the reporting period The main sources of waste were paper (350 kg or 035 tonnes) and plastic (37 kg or 0037 tonnes) By virtue of its activities MIoD does not deal with hazardous wastes of any kind

56 Mitigation of Environmental Impacts Following the Ecological Footprint Report undertaken in 2012 three areas were highlighted that needed attention

(i) food (mainly provided by third parties during delivery of MIoD trainings) (ii) consumables and(iii) waste management

In this respect the MIoD has undertaken in the financial year 2013-4 to bull workwithourkeythirdpartyfoodsupplierstoimprovethequality of the food offered during our training sessions especially taking into account the health problems in Mauritian society such as diabetes and to reduce our ecological footprint in this respect We have also engaged the advice of a nutritionistbull reducetheamountofplasticthatwepurchasebothinourownoffice but also through our third party suppliers In this respect we now have a water dispenser delivered to each training venue on the day of our training workshop to avoid the use of plastic bottles for our training sessions The next step is to work with our suppliers to encourage them to adopt this practicebull reducetheamountofpaperandinthisrespectwehaveagreedwith our Board Directors that effective August 2013 that we will no longer use paper but instead adopt appropriate laptop or tablet software for board papers During this year we will also undertake a complete review of our use of paper especially the printing of training manuals and see if we can fully or partially adopt alternative solutions to reduce our footprint The objective over time must be to become paperless We also intend to meet with the Registrar of Companies to lobby for the reduction in printing of Annual Reports and to allow shareholders to receive a soft copy and opt for a hard copy by exceptionbull ensurethatallouroldelectronicgoodssuchasprintersorcomputers are properly recycled using genuine recyclers andbull workwithourlandlordstointroducerecyclingbinsforallthetenants in our building Raffles Tower

57 Total Environmental Protection Expenditure and InvestmentTo date the MIoD has invested in consultancy services to help it calculate its Ecological Footprint and produce its first Integrated Report at a total cost of Rs 150000 The Ecological Footprint calculation is the benchmark for reducing our footprint in the future

6 Social61 Risks Related to Corruption An ethics risk assessment which also covered corruption risks was undertaken in 2011-2 The assessment covered all the activities of the MIoD Thereafter the MIoD Code of Conduct was reviewed and revised to address ethical conduct within the Company and by its members A Whistleblowing Policy has also been implemented The Ethics Risk Assessment Report and the MIoD Whistleblowing Policy can be found on the MIoD website wwwmiodmu under the section lsquoIntegrated Report 2012-3rsquo on the homepage

ended30June2013wouldincreasedecreasebyRs44543(yearended30June2012increasedecreasebyRs33311)Thisismainly

attributable to the companyrsquos exposure to interest rates on its floating rate interest bearing asset The company does not have any

significant variable rate borrowings outstanding at year end

revision affects both current and future periods

Where applicable the notes to the financial statements set out areas where management has applied a higher degree of judgement

that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements or estimations and assumptions that have a

significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year

With regards to the nature of the Companyrsquos business there were no key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources

The amendments introduce new terminology for the statement of comprehensive income and income statement Under the

amendments to IAS 1 the lsquostatement of comprehensive incomersquo is renamed the lsquostatement of profit or loss and other comprehensive

incomersquo and the lsquoincome statementrsquo is renamed the lsquostatement of profit or lossrsquo The amendments to IAS 1 retain the option to

present profit or loss and other comprehensive income in either a single statement or in two separate but consecutive statements

However the amendments to IAS 1 require items of other comprehensive income to be grouped into two categories in the other

comprehensiveincomesection(a)itemsthatwillnotbereclassifiedsubsequentlytoprofitorlossand(b)itemsthatmaybe

reclassified subsequently to profit or loss when specific conditions are met Income tax on items of other comprehensive income is

required to be allocated on the same basis ndash the amendments do not change the option to present items of other comprehensive

income either before tax or net of tax The amendments have been applied retrospectively and hence the presentation of items of

the application of the amendments to IAS 1 does not result in any impact on profit or loss other comprehensive income and total

comprehensive income

ended30June2013wouldincreasedecreasebyRs44543(yearended30June2012increasedecreasebyRs33311)Thisismainly

attributable to the companyrsquos exposure to interest rates on its floating rate interest bearing asset The company does not have any

significant variable rate borrowings outstanding at year end

be relevant Actual results may differ from these estimates

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in

revision affects both current and future periods

Where applicable the notes to the financial statements set out areas where management has applied a higher degree of judgement

that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements or estimations and assumptions that have a

significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year

With regards to the nature of the Companyrsquos business there were no key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources

of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting year that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the

ended30June2013wouldincreasedecreasebyRs44543(yearended30June2012increasedecreasebyRs33311)Thisismainly

attributable to the companyrsquos exposure to interest rates on its floating rate interest bearing asset The company does not have any

significant variable rate borrowings outstanding at year end

be relevant Actual results may differ from these estimates

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in

the year in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that year or in the period of the revision and future periods if the

revision affects both current and future periods

Where applicable the notes to the financial statements set out areas where management has applied a higher degree of judgement

that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements or estimations and assumptions that have a

significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year

41 Key sources of estimation uncertainty

With regards to the nature of the Companyrsquos business there were no key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources

of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting year that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the

be relevant Actual results may differ from these estimates

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in

the year in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that year or in the period of the revision and future periods if the

revision affects both current and future periods

Where applicable the notes to the financial statements set out areas where management has applied a higher degree of judgement

that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements or estimations and assumptions that have a

significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year

41 Key sources of estimation uncertainty

With regards to the nature of the Companyrsquos business there were no key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources

of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting year that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the

be relevant Actual results may differ from these estimates

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in

the year in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that year or in the period of the revision and future periods if the

revision affects both current and future periods

Where applicable the notes to the financial statements set out areas where management has applied a higher degree of judgement

that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements or estimations and assumptions that have a

significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year

41 Key sources of estimation uncertainty

With regards to the nature of the Companyrsquos business there were no key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources

of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting year that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the

ended30June2013wouldincreasedecreasebyRs44543(yearended30June2012increasedecreasebyRs33311)Thisismainly

attributable to the companyrsquos exposure to interest rates on its floating rate interest bearing asset The company does not have any

significant variable rate borrowings outstanding at year end

The company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash and borrowing facilities by continuously monitoring forecast

and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities

be relevant Actual results may differ from these estimates

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in

the year in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that year or in the period of the revision and future periods if the

revision affects both current and future periods

Where applicable the notes to the financial statements set out areas where management has applied a higher degree of judgement

that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements or estimations and assumptions that have a

significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year

41 Key sources of estimation uncertainty

With regards to the nature of the Companyrsquos business there were no key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources

of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting year that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the

MAURITIUS INSTITUTE OF DIRECTORSNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(n) Plant and equipment

All plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost

Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost or revalued amount of the assets on a straight line basis over the expected useful

lives as follows-

Rate per annum

Leasehold improvement 25

Computer equipment 3333

Office furniture 25

Where assets have been acquired during the year charges to the statement of comprehensive income have been pro-rated

4 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Companyrsquos accounting policies which are described in note 3 the directors are required to make

judgements estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from

other sources The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to

be relevant Actual results may differ from these estimates

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in

the year in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that year or in the period of the revision and future periods if the

revision affects both current and future periods

Where applicable the notes to the financial statements set out areas where management has applied a higher degree of judgement

that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements or estimations and assumptions that have a

significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year

41 Key sources of estimation uncertainty

With regards to the nature of the Companyrsquos business there were no key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources

of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting year that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the

carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year

ended30June2013wouldincreasedecreasebyRs44543(yearended30June2012increasedecreasebyRs33311)Thisismainly

attributable to the companyrsquos exposure to interest rates on its floating rate interest bearing asset The company does not have any

significant variable rate borrowings outstanding at year end
