9-year term limit for independent directors hard-coded in Asean corporate governance scorecard

This is regardless whether they are deemed as such in their respective jurisdictions.
This yardstick will be used in the upcoming Asean Corporate Governance Scorecard assessment, which will go into the drawing up of a list of “Asean asset class” companies marketed as this region’s investible entities.
