Board Committee Memberships

Committee membership data is extracted from NZX company annual report PDFs and AGM pre-meeting notices using regex-based text extraction ($0 cost). Coverage currently spans approximately 73 NZX issuers (roughly 55% of listed companies), with 517 total membership records. Coverage depends on the quality and detail of each company's published documentation.

Committee types are normalized into 9 categories: Audit & Risk, Remuneration, Health & Safety, Nomination, Investment, Technology, Sustainability, Risk, and Disclosure. Some categories (e.g., "Audit & Risk" and standalone "Risk") are tracked separately as they may serve different governance functions. Around 353 committee chair roles have been identified.

In addition to the standalone committee membership records, the director_appointments.committees field is now populated for approximately 351 appointments across 84 issuers (roughly 64% coverage), enabling committee data to appear alongside appointment records.

Based on available data, these figures may not capture all committees — particularly for smaller issuers with less detailed disclosure. Coverage is expected to improve as additional annual reports are processed.
