Corporate Governance
The Board of Directors sees it as its most important task to look after the long-term interests of Auriga, and thereby of the shareholders. The guidelines for the overall management of Auriga are based on the Articles of Association, objectives, strategy and values and on the corporate governance principles laid down in, for example, legislation, best practice and recommendations.
To provide a higher level of transparency, the Board of Directors has prepared "the statutory report on Corporate Governance" with comments on every recommendation on good corporate governance. The information is presented in a clear way by use of the same structure as the recommendations from the Danish Committee on Corporate Governance. The target is to make it easier for the shareholders and other stakeholders to find, process and compare the information.
