Gretchen Johanns - SIMS METAL Group General Counsel, Company Secretary

Elected by the shareholders, the SIMS METAL's board of directors comprises two types of representatives: SIMS METAL inside directors who are chosen from within the company, and outside directors, selected externally and held independent of SIMS. The board's role is to monitor SIMS METAL's management team and ensure that shareholders' interests are well served. SIMS METAL's inside directors are responsible for reviewing and approving budgets prepared by upper management to implement core corporate initiatives and projects. On the other hand, SIMS METAL's outside directors are responsible for providing unbiased perspectives on the board's policies.
