ECOBANK HAS BEEN A PIONEER IN WEST AFRICAN BANKING IN INSTITUTIONALIZING CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRINCIPLES AS PART OF THE GROUP’S CORPORATE CULTURE.

The Business Leaders Conference is a collegial meeting of all subsidiary CEOs and group functional heads for reviewing and embedding group strategy and policies.

The Business Leaders Conference is the primary co-ordinating body for group cohesion and integration and the actualisation of group strategy.

The Conference is a consultative body – not a decision-making body.

The Conference plays a key role in facilitating the harmonization and integration of the group strategy. Its role includes:

• Sharing and disseminating information, experiences and best practices across the group;
• Initiating policies that encourage integration and promote the 'One-bank concept';
• Promoting integration and standardization of group policies and procedures;
• Promoting and monitoring compliance with group operational standards;
• Contributing to the formulation of group policies.
