Company Structure

APL's organisational structure provides for an open, transparent operation with strong corporate governance systems in place to clearly define the respective roles and responsibilities of the board and management and to ensure that APL acts within the law at all times, avoids conflict of interest and acts honestly and ethically in all business activities.

The board is responsible for ensuring that company funds are used to best advantage for the long-term benefit of Australian levy-paying producers and the industry more broadly.   It strives to create member value by constructively engaging with management to ensure the appropriate development, execution and monitoring of the company's agreed strategies.

The board delegates responsibility to the Chief Executive Officer for the effective management of the company. There are five divisional units within APL to develop, coordinate and implement programs to meet strategic directions. 

Details of the election or appointment of the different categories of directors are contained in the APL Constitution.
