Corporate governance
The task of corporate governance is to ensure the Group’s commitments to all of its stakeholders: shareholders, customers, suppliers, creditors, society and employees. At the same time, governance must be structured in a way that supports the company’s long-term strategy, market presence and competitiveness. Corporate governance must be reliable, clear, simple and business-oriented.
