Corporate governance
We believe good corporate governance begins with having co-workers who share both our culture and commitment to continuously strengthen our group as a reliable and trustworthy partner. Among other things, this means leading by example and always staying close to reality and our businesses.
We also recognise that governing structures, risk management and internal control are core functions of a successful business and decisive for our ability to uphold trust towards our many stakeholders.
