Board of Directors
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the management and proper organization of Inderes. The Board of Directors has adopted written Rules of Procedure (as part of the company's general governance rules), which set out the matters to be dealt with by the Board of Directors. Among other things, the Board of Directors sets the company's strategy and oversees its implementation. The Board of Directors is responsible for approving the financial statements and other financial reports of the company and for supervising the proper accounting and financial affairs of the company. Significant individual investments, acquisitions and strategically important business expansions or reductions are decided by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors sets the company's long-term strategic and financial objectives and approves budgets and risk management principles.
The Board of Directors meets at least six times a year. Each meeting has a main theme, and the meetings also address current issues. The main themes on the annual calendar are community, people, customers, technology, long-term strategy, budget and key projects. In addition, the company's financial performance is discussed on an ongoing basis in separate discussions between meetings.
