Trustee Governance Committee
The Trustee Governance Committee ensures that the fiduciary duties of EATG Global Capital’s trustees are discharged with the highest standards of care, loyalty, and prudence. The Committee oversees trustee appointment, performance, education, and adherence to the trust framework established under the Enterprise’s founding Charter and Intergenerational Covenant.
Fiduciary Governance & Trust Mandate
Fiduciary Foundation
The Committee ensures all trustee actions conform to the three core fiduciary duties: duty of care (informed decision-making), duty of loyalty (exclusive benefit of beneficiaries), and duty of prudence (risk-aware stewardship). These duties are codified in the Trust Policy and reviewed annually.
Intergenerational Covenant
The Intergenerational Covenant is the cornerstone of EATG’s trust framework, binding current trustees to preserve and grow capital for future generations. The Committee monitors compliance with covenant principles and reports annually to the Board of Governors.
