The Board is responsible to shareholders for good corporate governance, setting the Group’s strategic objectives, values and standards, and ensuring the necessary resources are in place to achieve the objectives.
The Board met on 12 occasions during 2020 (seven formal and five pandemic related meetings), including a specific meeting to review the Group’s long-term strategy. The Board of Directors comprises eight members, of whom six are Non-Executive Directors and two are Executive Directors, led by the Group’s Non-Executive Chair, A.C. Quinn, who also chairs the Nomination Committee. The Group Chief
Executive is S.C. Harris, and the Senior Independent Non-Executive Director is I.B. Duncan, who also chairs the Audit Committee. E. Lindqvist is Chair of the Remuneration Committee and P. Larmon is the Chair of the Employee Engagement Groups. L. Chahbazi and K Boyd are Non-Executive Directors. Brief biographical details of all Directors are given on pages 44 to 45 of the annual report.
During the year the Board intended to visit a number of overseas facilities, but due to COVID-19 these visits have been deferred until such time that these visits can be undertaken safely. Such events involve meeting with local management and the workforce to understand more clearly technical and operational performance in countries where Bodycote has a significant presence.
