Corporate governance is a system of rules of conduct for company organs, members of such organs, and majority and minority shareholders. Corporate governance rules relate to broadly defined corporate management.
Corporate governance rules for companies listed in Poland have been developed by the stock exchange. The Exchange Supervisory Board in its Resolution No. 13/1834/2021 of 29 March 2021 approved the new principles of corporate governance for companies listed on the GPW Main Market: the Best Practice for GPW Listed Companies 2021 (“Best Practice 2021” or “Best Practice”).
Since 1 July 2021, the Company has been applying the new Best Practice for WSE Listed Companies (DPSN 2021). The document is available from the WSE’s corporate governance web page at https://www.gpw.pl/best-practice2021.
Details of other reports concerning compliance with the Best Practice for WSE Listed Companies are presented in the Reports tab.
