The duties of the Board of directors
The Board of Directors regularly evaluates Getinge’s financial position and ensures that Getinge is organized in such way that the accounting, management of cash and cash equivalents and the company’s financial conditions in general are otherwise satisfactorily controlled.
Furthermore, the Board of Directors shall continuously evaluate the work of the President & CEO and address this matter at one meeting every year without the presence of anyone from the Getinge Executive Team. At one of its meetings during the year, the Board is to meet with the company’s auditors without the presence of the President & CEO or any other individual from the Getinge Executive Team.
According to the Articles of Association, Getinge’s Board of Directors is to comprise not fewer than three and not more than ten members, with not more than ten deputy members. The Board members are elected annually at the AGM to serve for the period up to and including the next AGM. Employees have the right to appoint two representatives and two deputy members to the Board.
The Board’s work is mainly governed by the Swedish Companies Act (aktiebolagslagen), the Swedish Corporate Governance Code (svensk kod för bolagsstyrning) and the Board’s rules of procedure. Guidelines for the Board’s work are described in more detail in the Board’s rules of procedure and annual plan. The Board’s rules of procedure specify the number of ordinary Board meetings to be held (seven ordinary meetings in addition to the statutory Board meeting), the matters to be addressed at each ordinary Board meeting, the duties of the Chairman of the Board and the division of responsibilities between the Board and the President & CEO. It also states what the President & CEO should report to the Board and when and how the Board should receive information and documentation in order to make well-founded decisions. The rules of procedure also include provisions to prevent disqualification and conflicts of interest for Board members, and a process for handling any transactions between Getinge and related parties. The Board’s rules of procedure and annual plan are reviewed and adopted every year.
