How Trelleborg is governed
The fundamental principle to ensure good corporate governance is the establishment of favorable conditions for active and responsible ownership, in addition to a well-balanced division of responsibilities between owners, the Board of Directors and company management, with openness toward all stakeholders.
The Annual General Meeting is the Trelleborg Group’s highest decision-making body and this is where the shareholders exercise their rights to decide on the affairs of Trelleborg. The meeting appoints the Board of Directors, which is responsible for sharing the management and control of the Trelleborg Group among the Board of Directors, its elected committees and the President in accordance with the Swedish Companies Act, other legislation and ordinances, rules and regulations governing listed companies, including the Swedish Code of Corporate Governance, the Articles of Association and the Board’s and its Committees’ own internal control instruments.
On the Board level, the task of the Audit Committee is to monitor the follow-up and reporting of issues within the framework of corporate responsibility.
