Work of the Board of Directors

The Board’s main responsibility is to manage Gränges’ business in the best interests of the company and shareholders. The Board of Directors continually assesses Gränges’ financial position and ensures that the company’s financial position can be satisfactorily verified. The Board of Directors decides on issues related to the Group’s strategic direction and organization, and decides on key acquisitions, investments, and disposals. The Board of Directors also evaluates Group Management. Before every AGM, and based on proposals made by the Remuneration committee, the Board of Directors prepares proposals for guidelines for remuneration to the CEO and other senior executives.

Adopting a systematic and structured process, the Board of Directors annually evaluates the work of the Board of Directors to develop its procedures and efficiency.

The Chairman organizes and leads the Board’s work, represents the company in ownership matters, evaluates the Board’s work, has day-to-day contact with CEO and other members of Group Management, and ensures that the Board of Directors fulfils its duties and obligations effectively. To enable this work, the Chairman ensures that there are appropriate instructions on the division of work between, on the one hand, the Board of Directors and on the other hand the CEO and the other bodies set up by the Board of Directors. Gränges’ General Counsel is the secretary of the Board of Directors.

Rules of procedure for the Board of Directors

Each year, the Board of Directors establishes Rules of procedure for the Board of Directors including Rules of procedure for the Remuneration Committee and Audit Committee, as well as CEO instructions.

The Rules of procedure governs the work and responsibilities of the Board of Directors, the frequency of Board meetings, as well as the division of duties between the Board members, between the Board committees, and between the Board of Directors and the CEO.
