Credicorp’s institutional guidelines, which govern all of our subsidiaries, comply with high standards for corporate governance. We base our organizational culture on principles of integrity, respect and transparency. These ideals are shared by all of our employees and are the basis for the trust we have secured from our shareholders and other stakeholders.

Our good corporate governance practices, which are present in our vision, mission and institutional policies and rules, seek to generate sustainable growth and create value for our shareholders and other stakeholders. Thanks to our adherence to these practices, Credicorp leads the financial system in Peru and has achieved sustained growth in the countries in which it operates.

Credicorp has established four Board Committees to maintain the standards that guide our operations:

• Audit Committee: whose purpose is to supervise, monitor and review (i) processes to present the financial and accounting information of Credicorp and its subsidiaries; (ii) internal control procedures of Credicorp and its subsidiaries; (iii) audits conducted of the financial statements of Credicorp and its subsidiaries; and (iv) the integrity of the financial statements of Credicorp and its subsidiaries. In line with the requirements for the committee’s configuration in our Corporate Governance Policy, the committee is comprised of three directors. All of the members are independent according to the definition of Independence of Rule 10A-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Additionally, the committee will have one member who is considered an expert in finance and 2 female directors. The CEO cannot be a member of this committee.
• Risk Committee: whose objective is to represent Credicorp’s Board and proposes levels of appetite for risk for Credicorp. The committee acknowledge the level of compliance with the appetite for risk and the level of exposure assumed by Credicorp and its subsidiaries and oversees relevant improvements in comprehensive risk management at these entities. Additionally, it proposes the level of appetite for risk and tolerance for risk that Credicorp is willing to assume.
• Compensation and Nomination Committee: the main functions are to select and recommend individuals to Credicorp’s Board for consideration by the General Shareholders’ meeting. Candidates are chosen every three years, or when a vacancy arises, and selection is based on the profiles required to ensure the Board’s adequate configuration. The Committee is also in charge of (i) Evaluating candidates to the Board to determine if they meet the criteria for Independence from the company. (ii) Propose to Credicorp’s Board, for consideration by the General Shareholders’ Meeting, the policy for attendance fees and compensation levels as well as other types of compensation and benefits of the members of the Board and Credicorp’s Board Committees.

Given that we are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), we also adhere to applicable U.S. corporate governance requirements, such as those under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. This law, which has been in effect in the United States since July 2002, requires companies subject to the law to comply with certain international standards of good corporate governance practices.
