GOVERNANCE PROCESSES

The Governance Processes Committee provides guidance on Governance, JIG Policies such as Ethics and Competition Law. The JIG Core Principles and Business Principles form the core of this guidance. This organisation also manages the Tarbox Database on behalf of the industry.

The JIG governance framework documents are a complete set of guidance for Joint Ventures or sole operators who wish to manage their operations in line with the latest updates and knowledge around corporate policy and local laws that may impact our business. Further details on the principal governance areas can be found below and all the listed GP Documentation can be accessed in the “Policies” tab in our Standards and Publications section.

The Tarbox database gives users access to Template Documents according to their needs and is a secure library of executed agreements at JIG locations that can be accessed by the signatories.

The key elements of the governance framework provided for operator guidance are:
