What is corporate governance?

Corporate governance is a system of rules, practices and processes by which a company is directed and controlled. Corporate governance essentially involves balancing the interests of all the stakeholders of a company, such as shareholders, management, customers, suppliers, financiers and government. Since corporate governance also provides the framework for attaining a company’s objectives, it encompasses practically every sphere of management, from action plans and internal controls to performance measurement and corporate disclosure.

Axactor’s Board of Directors has the ultimate responsibility for ensuring that good corporate governance is practised. Corporate governance is subject to annual evaluation and discussion by the Board.
