The directors and management of Norton Gold Fields Limited (“Norton” or “the company”) are committed to following the principles issued by the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) underpinning corporate governance best practice.

In responding to the principles and associated best practice recommendations, Norton has given due and careful regard to its particular circumstances and the best interests of its shareholders.

ASX Listing Rules require listed companies to disclose in their annual report the extent to which ASX best practice recommendations have been followed; identify which recommendations have not been followed; and provide reasons for their decisions.

As detailed in this corporate governance statement, Norton considers that its current governance practices largely comply with the ASX recommendations. Where arrangements differ from the recommendations, the directors and management believe this is appropriate to the company’s circumstances and represents good practice. 

A full set of Norton’s corporate governance related policies and charters are available on the company’s website.

The company will continuously review the recommendations and decisions will be based on what is in the best interests of shareholders.
