Overview
Dairibord was incorporated in 1952 as a state-owned parastatal (Dairy Marketing Board “DMB”), to receive all milk, manufacture and market dairy products, and administer regulations related to producer registrations. In 1994, DMB was commercialised and Dairibord Zimbabwe Ltd was born, and was listed on the ZSE in 1997 (the first parastatal in Zimbabwe to do so). Since then, Dairibord has grown to become a leading milk processor in Southern Africa, having expanded its operations and diversified its portfolio to include a wide range of dairy and non-dairy products which include liquid milks, foods and beverages.

Members: Josephat Sachikonye; Nobert Chiromo


Business Development

The Business Development Committee is primarily responsible for driving business growth. It is charged with proposing new business opportunities and implementing strategic and generative plans to meet the Company’s vision and objectives.

Chairperson: Nobert Chiromo
Members: Ketan Naik; Bruce Henderson


Compliance

Dairibord follows all applicable rules and regulations. We have principles and values which guide our workers and leadership to follow the rules and regulations that govern the business and industry. This directs our personnel to reduce our exposure to compliance risks.

Responsibility

The Company Secretary is the senior custodian for compliance matters at Dairibord Holdings.

Monitoring Compliance
Each executive maintains the compliance systems for their relevant area ensuring they are up to date on any changes that occur and that staff in their respective functions are kept abreast of the changes. All staff members are expected to be aware of the Dairibord code of conduct. We continuously engage with regulatory authorities on any legal changes and for legal advice.


Risk Management

Risk is inextricably linked to the Group’s activities and cannot be separated from opportunity. Given the instability in the operational environment, it is necessary to conduct continual risk assessments as risks are ever-changing. In a short amount of time, a low effect, low chance scenario might transform into the most serious risk, such as global pandemics, cyclones, societal upheaval, and so on. Our risk management is integrated across our company activities to preserve value and respond to the changing nature of risks. In terms of likelihood and effect, the risks outlined in this report are the primary uncertainties.

Group Risk Management Framework
The Board is ultimately accountable for risk governance. The risk management role has been entrusted to the Finance Audit and Risk Committee by the Board. The Finance, Audit, and Risk Committee is made up entirely of non-executive directors, with 67% of them being independent. The committee reports to the full Board of Directors. The Finance, Audit, and Risk Committee’s risk mandate is to ensure that the Group has suitable procedures in place to identify, measure, anticipate, plan for, and respond appropriately to any risks that the company may encounter.
