GOVERNANCE
Our Group is committed to achieving high standards of corporate governance.
The principal governance rules that apply to United Kingdom companies listed on the London Stock Exchange are set out in the Combined Code appended to the Listing, Prospectus, Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the Financial Services Authority (the Combined Code). As our primary listing is on the London Stock Exchange, we focus on matters covered by the Combined Code, but we also have regard, where appropriate, to governance expectations in the four other territories where our shares are listed.
The Board has a number of standing committees or subcommittees, to which various matters are delegated in accordance with their respective terms of reference. The Board also establishes committees on an ad hoc basis to deal with particular matters as and when thought fit. In doing so, the Board specifies a remit, quorum and appropriate mix of executive and/or non-executive participation. View the Board Committees.
Internal Control and Risk Management are important aspects of corporate governance. View a list of our main company advisers.
