Corporate governance

Falck’s Management consistently monitors corporate governance with a view to ensuring that the Group is managed in a manner compliant with national and international legislation, and that it meets the expectations of its stakeholders and applies high levels of transparency and compliance.

The ultimate authority of Falck lies with the shareholders who exercise their rights at the Annual General Meeting. Here, the shareholders elect members to the Board of Directors and appoint the independent auditors. Falck has a two-tier management system consisting of a Board of Directors and an Executive Committee. The two bodies do not have overlapping members.

The Board of Directors and the Executive Committee strive to ensure transparency and accountability by building trusting relationships with shareholders, customers, suppliers, employees and the local communities in which Falck operates.
