One of the key tasks of the Board is to serve the interests of the company and the shareholders by managing the company’s operations in such a manner as to assure the shareholders that their interests in terms of a long-term profitable growth and value creation are being met in the best possible manner. The Board shall also appoint the President and CEO and ensure that the company complies with all applicable laws, the Articles of Association and the Code.
The Board is also responsible for making sure that the Group is suitably structured so that the Board can optimally exercise its governance responsibility over the subsidiaries and that the company’s financial accounting, financial management and financial circumstances in general can be controlled satisfactorily. At least once a year the Board shall meet with the company’s auditor without the presence of the Group Management Team, and shall continuously and at least once a year evaluate the performance of the President and CEO. The Board of Directors shall also prepare necessary proposals before the AGM.
