Governance Safeguards Remain Robust Following Changes in Board Independence
Credicorp maintains a governance framework designed to ensure strong and effective oversight. The Board continues to meet the Company's Corporate Governance Policy requirement regarding director independence, while benefiting from a combination of independent perspectives and directors with deep knowledge of the Company's operations, strategy, and markets. Key safeguards remain in place, including a fully independent Audit Committee and both the Sustainability Committee and Compensation & Nominations Committee led by independent directors. These structures ensure that independent directors play a central role in oversight of financial reporting, executive compensation, and Board composition. In addition, established conflict of interest policies are applied rigorously, with directors abstaining from participating in discussions and voting on matters where potential conflicts may arise. These practices support objective and independent decision-making across the Board.
Credicorp's corporate governance structure is reviewed on an ongoing basis to ensure alignment with regulatory requirements, governance best practices, and shareholder expectations, while balancing continuity with the skills and experience required to oversee the Company's evolving strategy and risk profile. Credicorp remains committed to maintaining strong governance practices and transparent engagement with shareholders and other stakeholders.
