Board committees

The Board of Directors has two permanent committees that assist the Board by preparing issues for the Board to consider. The permanent committees are the Audit Committee and the Remuneration Committee.

If necessary, the Board of Directors may also establish other committees and temporary working groups from among its members to prepare other important decisions. The committees have no decision-making authority in themselves; their purpose is to assist the Board of Directors by preparing issues that are within the Board’s remit. The committees report regularly to the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors elects the members and chairmen of the committees from among its members. The members’ term of office is one year, ending at the close of the next Annual General Meeting after the election. Each committee shall have at least three members. A quorum of a committee meeting shall be attained when the Chairman and at least one member are present.

The Board of Directors has confirmed written charters for the committees, defining their tasks and operating principles.

More information about the Audit and Remuneration Committees and meeting attendance is available in the Corporate Governance Statement 2023.
