Regulatory Sub-Committee

Assists the Board in overseeing Chorus’ regulatory strategies and meeting Director certification obligations required by Chorus' regulators from time to time. Members include all directors on the Board. The Sub-Committee Chair is the Chair of the Board.

Supply chain review

In April 2019, Chorus’ Board and management committed to a wide range of actions aimed at creating consistently fair conditions, in line with employment laws, for all workers in the Chorus supply chain. This followed the findings and recommendations of an independent review.
