24 Fostering Sustainable Ecosystems Corporate Governance and Business Ethics Message from CEO Corporate Overview About the Report At Arise IIP, we believe that strong governance and ethical business practices are essential to delivering sustainable, long-term value. As we expand across Africa, we remain committed to transparency, accountability, and responsible leadership. In 2024, 20% of our Board members were women, and we achieved 88% attendance across Board meetings—demonstrating active engagement at the highest level. To stay aligned with the evolving sustainability landscape, we also enhanced the collective expertise of our Board through dedicated ESG training sessions. In addition, we completed over 110 man-hours of executive training with ESSEC Business School, focusing on the challenges and opportunities of industrialisation and value addition in Africa. This chapter outlines our governance structures and ethical commitments— including our Board framework, oversight roles, diversity, conflict of interest policies, tax transparency, and our approach to responsible marketing and labeling. I invite you to read and understand how these foundations guide our decisions and strengthen our mission to build inclusive, resilient, and future-ready industrial ecosystems. Sincerely, Amit Agrawal Chief Operating Officer, Arise IIP Chief Operating Officer Message from
