Board Governance
The Gran Tierra Energy Board of Directors provide independent oversight of the company and are elected each year by Shareholders during our annual meeting. The Board is entrusted with the responsibility for overseeing the significant risks to which our business is exposed and ensuring there are processes in place to effectively identify, monitor and manage them. The Board delegates responsibility for the execution of certain elements of risk oversight to the committees to ensure appropriate expertise, attention and diligence. The committees oversee the relevant risk areas and report to the Board regularly.

is responsible for oversight of compensation-related risks, including reviewing management’s assessment of risks related to employee compensation programs.
The Health, Safety and Environment Committee
