GOVERNANCE STRATEGY

It is our ambition to be a responsible, trusted and compliant partner throughout the entire value chain. Our governance strategy is about creating a culture of integrity, responsibility, and inclusivity infused at every level of our organisation, always in compliance applicable rules and regulations.

To ensure this, a robust governance framework should be in place that systematically integrates sustainability in all decision-making processes and operations. It begins with a clear description of our social and environmental goals, which are integral to our mission and vision.

We believe in the power of monitoring our actions diligently, learning from our past experiences, and continuously navigating through our work processes. This allows us to identify areas of improvement and implement necessary changes promptly.

Our commitment to integrity ensures that we conduct our business ethically and honestly. Stewardship guides us to manage our resources responsibly, with a focus on long-term sustainability rather than short-term gains.

Within Care by Governance, we recognise the following topics:

• Regulatory Compliance
• Inclusive and diverse Board
• Organisation and work processes
• Transparency
• Accountability

We are working on several digital projects which strengthen our governance. A description of these projects can be found in the concluding section of this chapter.
