Board meetings during the year
The Board meetings have had a regular structure with a predetermined main agenda. An important theme during the year, which characterized the Board’s work, pertained to company acquisitions. Other matters that were discussed by the Board included valuation, strategic rationale, and integration of acquisitions made. In connection with this, the Board has had financing matters high up on the agenda on several occasions.
Evaluation of the Board's work
The Chairman of the Board evaluates the Board’s work in connection with each ordinary meeting. Once a year, the Chairman of the Board initiates a more comprehensive supplementary and focused evaluation of the Board’s work, in conversations with the Board in full and individual conversations with each of the Members.
The questions relate to internal climate, breadth of knowledge, and how Board work is carried out. The purpose is to find out how the Directors perceive that the Board is run and what actions can be taken to make the Board’s work more efficient. The results are presented to the Board and the nomination committee by the Chairman.
