Corporate Governance
Overview
The Board recognises that the manner in which the Group is governed is critical to the long-term success of the business.
This includes managing all internal day-to-day aspects of the business but also managing the impact Mitie has on the wider community and environment. The Board strives to act responsibly in everything it does and when interacting with its stakeholder groups. The Board is committed to ensuring that high standards of corporate governance are achieved throughout the Group and strongly believes that any corporate governance initiatives need to promote and support good business practices.
The Annual Report and Accounts provides details of key aspects of Mitie’s corporate governance environment and explains the manner in which the Board of Mitie Group plc has applied the principles and provisions of good governance as set out in the UK Corporate Governance Code.
Our Board and Committees
The Board is collectively responsible for the sustainable longterm success of the Company and provides leadership and direction to management. Accordingly, the Board reviews and agrees the strategy for the group, proposed by the Executive Directors, on an annual basis and reviews certain aspects of the strategy at Board meetings during the year. In setting the strategy, the Board takes account of matters such as: market trends; competitive environment; private/public sector approach; international aspects of the business and opportunities; finance; shareholder returns; people and talent; and the Mitie Model, ensuring at all times that sufficient consideration is given to risk and internal controls.
