Governance

The Board is committed to maintaining high standards of governance, in recognition of the value that it can add to the success and sustainability of performance as well as the reputation of the Connective.

The Board applies the principles of the UK Corporate Governance Code (the Code). The Code emphasises the need for well-balanced and effective boards, constructive engagement with shareholders and stakeholders, robust oversight of internal controls and risk management systems and the alignment of executive remuneration to company purpose and values, with clear links to the successful delivery of the Company’s long-term strategy.

Further information is available in our Annual Report.

The Board

It attends to matters including acquisitions and divestments, major capital projects, risk and financial matters.
