Corporate Governance

The Board takes collective responsibility for the quality of, and approach to corporate governance by the Company, governance and the systems and procedures by which the Company is directed and controlled. A prescribed set of rules does not itself determine good governance or stewardship of a company and, in fulfilling their responsibilities, the Directors believe that they govern the Company in the best interests of the shareholders, whilst having due regard to the interests of other 'stakeholders' in the Group including, in particular, customers, employees and creditors.

As an AIM listed company, the Directors of Rurelec PLC (the “Company”) have chosen to apply the Quoted Companies Alliance Corporate Governance Code for Small and Midsized Quoted Companies 2018 (the “QCA Code”).

 

The QCA Code Principles

The QCA Code is constructed around ten broad principles and a set of disclosures which notes appropriate arrangements for growing companies and requires companies who have adopted the QCA Code to provide an explanation about how they are meeting those principles through the prescribed disclosures.
