GOVERNANCE
We align our corporate governance efforts with the “Recommendations on Corporate Governance” issued by the Danish Committee on Corporate Governance”. This is achieved by maintaining an ongoing dialogue with our owners and other stakeholders, by reporting results on a quarterly basis and facilitating an ongoing strategic development process that creates value for our stakeholders.
Furthermore, as our majority owner, CataCap is a member of the Danish Venture Capital and Private Equity Association (DVCA), TP Aerospace must comply with the guidelines issued by the DVCA available at the DVCA’s website www.dvca.dk.
The guidelines released in June 2018, with subsequent modifications, recommend extended coverage of a number of factors in annual reports, including corporate governance, financial risk, employee relations and strategy.
