      Corporate Governance

      REPORT

      TERRA Mauricia Ltd (“Terra” or “the Company”) is classified as a Public Interest Entity (“PIE”) according to the Financial Reporting Act 2004 and is therefore required to apply the 8 principles of the Code of Corporate Governance in accordance with The National Code of Corporate Governance for Mauritius (2016) (the “Code”). This Corporate Governance report provides adequate explanation of how these principles have been applied by the Company and its subsidiaries (“the Group”).
      Terra’s success as an organisation depends on its ability to identify and exploit the opportunities generated by its business and the markets it operates in. While ultimate responsibility for risk management rests with the Board, the effective day-to-day management of risk is in the way Terra conducts its business and the culture of its team. Terra takes an embedded approach to risk management that puts risk and opportunity assessment at the core of the leadership team agenda.
