Board of Directors

Shareholders elect the Board at the AGM to serve a mandate period beginning with the AGM and concluding with the AGM the following year. On behalf of Investor’s owners, the Board establishes the goals and strategies for the company, evaluates the operational management and ensures that systems are in place to monitor and verify the company’s business and organizational objectives.

The Board also ensures that the company’s stakeholders are furnished with accurate information, that laws and regulations are complied with and that ethical guidelines and internal policies are modified as needed. Investor’s Board forms a quorum when more than half of the members are present.

Pursuant to the Articles of Association, the Board should consist of no less than three and no more than eleven directors and no more than four deputies. The AGM decides the exact number. The Board is assisted by a secretary, who is not a member of the Board. Board members are to devote the time and attention to Investor that their assignment demands. Each Board member is responsible for requesting supplementary information he/she feels is necessary to make sound decisions. New Board members are introduced to Investor's business operations by attending a comprehensive introduction orientation involving, for example, meetings with departmental managers. Board members are continuously updated on new regulations, practices and statutory requirements that may affect the business.

The independence and attendance of the Board of Directors is presented in the Annual Report for each year. 

The Board discusses the development and the effects on industries, markets and individual companies, paying particularly close attention to Investor’s holdings and the long-term strategies of such holdings.

An important part of the Board’s work is the financial reports presented, including those prior to the interim report, the interim management statements and the year-end report. At regular Board meetings reports are delivered on the ongoing operations in the business areas, together with in-depth analyses and proposed actions regarding holdings. Succession planning is also evaluated yearly by the Board.

Management

The Board appoints the CEO and approves the Instruction for the CEO. The CEO is responsible for the day to day business of the company. The responsibilities include, among other things, ongoing investments and divestments, employees, finance and accounting issues and regular contact with the company’s stakeholders, such as public authorities and the financial market.

The CEO ensures that the Board is provided with the requisite material for making well-informed decisions. The CEO is also a member of the Investor Board and  attends all Board meetings except for when his performance is under evaluation and when the Board meets the auditor without the presence of the Management.

For his support the CEO has appointed an Executive Leadership Team. The Leadership Team regularly works with specific business transactions, follow-up on value creation plans, sustainability issues and the company’s financial flexibility. Frequently risk assessment and company strategy are evaluated. When the Executive Leadership Team meets, organization and employee matters are also discussed.
