Governance

Our Chairman and Executive Management team define the Emirates Group’s strategic direction and long-term objectives. To support the execution and monitor the achievement of these objectives, our Group’s Governance structure consists of:

• A defined organisational structure which delineates the roles, responsibilities, and accountabilities of business units across the Group
• Cross functional management committees to govern and monitor critical strategic, operational, financial, and reputational areas. These include: treasury risk management, acquisitions and capital investment, safety and security, fleet strategy and performance, product development and customer service, environment and sustainability
• A comprehensive policy framework which defines the activities and authority levels within which employees are authorised to operate
• Internal processes, procedures and controls to enforce the Group’s policy framework
• Quality assurance and compliance activities embedded within business units to provide management insights into adherence to policies and procedures
• An independent Group Internal Audit function to provide assurance to the Chairman and Chief Executive as to the effectiveness of governance, risk management and internal controls across the Group
