The Board's work
The board of directors is Fasadgruppen’s second-highest decision-making body after the general meeting. The duties of the board of directors are primarily set forth in the Swedish Companies Act, the Company’s articles of association and the Code. In addition, the work of the board of directors is guided by the instructions from the general meeting as well as the rules of procedure of the board of directors. The rules of procedure of the board of directors govern the division of work within the board of directors. The board of directors also adopts instructions for the committees of the board of directors, an instruction for the CEO and an instruction for the financial reporting to the board of directors.
The board of directors is responsible for the organisation and the management of the Company’s matters, which, among other things, entails a responsibility for:
- Outlining overall, long-term strategies and objectives, budgets and business plans;
- establishing guidelines to ensure that the operations create value in the long term;
- reviewing and establishing the accounts;
- making decisions on issues regarding investments and sales, capital structure and dividend policy;
- ensuring that the company’s internal procedures provide good internal control;
- developing and adopting central policies, ensuring that control systems exist for monitoring that policies and guidelines are followed;
- ensuring that there are systems for monitoring and controlling the Company’s operations and risks, significant changes in the Company’s organisation and operations;
- appointing the CEO and, in accordance with the guidelines adopted by the general meeting, setting remuneration and other terms of employment benefits for the CEO and other senior executives.
The chairman of the board of directors is responsible for ensuring that the board of directors’ work is carried out efficiently and that the board of directors fulfils its obligations. The board of directors meets according to an annual predetermined schedule. In addition to these ordinary board meetings, additional board meetings may be convened when the chairman considers it to be necessary or if a board member or the CEO so requests.
In order to ensure and develop the quality of the Board’s work, an evaluation of the work of the Board and its members is carried out annually.
