Governance

The strength of the group's corporate values, its reputation and its ability to achieve its objectives are influenced by the effectiveness of the system by which it is directed, managed and controlled.

Introduction to our governance framework

The Board is collectively accountable to the Company’s shareholders for the proper conduct of the Group’s business and its long-term success. The Board has a schedule of matters reserved for its approval and a formal structure of delegating some of its responsibilities to Board Committees through agreed terms of reference which are subject to regular review. The schedule of matters clearly defines the decisions which can only be made by the Board and largely relates to matters of strategic importance, particularly high-value or governance related, where independence from executive management is important.

The Board delegates responsibility for the day-to-day operational management of the Company to the Chief Executive Officer, who is supported by the Convatec Executive Leadership Team, which is chaired by the CEO.

The independent Non-Executive Directors exercise independent, objective judgement in respect of decisions of the Board, and scrutinise and challenge management. Through the various committees of the Board, they have responsibility for ensuring the robustness and integrity of financial information; internal controls and the risk management framework; that the Board has an appropriate mix of skills, knowledge, experience and diversity to fulfil the Board’s vision and support the delivery of the Company’s FISBE strategy; and, that remuneration arrangements appropriately support the Group’s culture and strategic ambition.
