Corporate Governance
Corporate Governance in Auriga Industries A/S
The Board of Directors sees it as its most important task to look after the long-term interests of Auriga, and thereby of the shareholders. The guidelines for the overall management of Auriga are based on the Articles of Association, objectives, strategy and values and on the corporate governance principles laid down in, for example, legislation, best practice and recommendations.
In 2008, general guidelines on performance-related remuneration were introduced for members of Auriga’s Board of Directors and Board of Executives.
The Board of Directors in Auriga is composed of six members elected by the general meeting (g) and three employee representatives (e).
Elected at the annual general meeting on April 22, 2010:

The day-to-day management in Auriga is undertaken by a Board of Executives with one member:
