Board of Directors and Comittee

The Board of Directors is PE’s highest administrative body during the AGM and bears ultimate responsibility for management and the organisation of the company’s operations. The Board monitors the company’s operations and management, and makes decisions on key issues relating to such areas as strategy, investments, organisation and financial matters. The Board has two permanent committees – the Audit Committee and the Remuneration Committee.

The work of the Board is regulated by a set of procedures that is adopted annually by the Board. The set of procedures dictates the allocation of work and responsibility between the members of the Board, the Chairman and CEO, and includes financial reporting procedures for the CEO. The Board also adopts instructions for the Board’s committees.

PE’s Board comprises seven members elected by the AGM, including the Chairman, and no deputies. The Chief Executive Officer is not a member of the Board, but is co-opted to all Board meetings. The company’s Chief Financial Officer is secretary to the Board. The members elected by the AGM and the Board’s Chairman were elected by the AGM on 5 May 2022 for the period extending up until the next AGM.

Audit Committee

The company’s Audit Committee consists of four representatives from the Board of Directors. The members of the committee are elected by the Board and their role is to prepare for the Board’s work by providing quality assurance of the company’s financial reporting.

The committee has continual contact with the company’s auditors in order to keep informed about the focus and extent of the audit and to discuss their view of the risks to which the company is exposed. The Audit Committee is also tasked with establishing guidelines regarding other services besides the audit that the company may procure from the company’s auditors, evaluating the audit process and communicating this information to the Nomination Committee, as well as assisting the Nomination Committee in the presentation of proposals regarding auditors and auditors’ fees.

The members of the company’s Audit Committee are Peter Sandberg (chair), Per-Arne Gustavsson, Jon Risfelt and Christina Ragsten.

Remuneration Committee

The Audit Committee consists of four representatives from the Board of Directors. The committee is primarily tasked with preparing the Board’s decisions on matters such as remuneration principles, remuneration and other employment terms and conditions for company management and other senior executives.

Furthermore, the Remuneration Committee shall monitor and evaluate variable remuneration programmes for company management that are ongoing or that have been concluded during the year; monitor and evaluate the application of the guidelines for remuneration to senior executives that the AGM is required to resolve on by law and regarding remuneration structures and remuneration levels in the Group.

The Remuneration Committee consists of Carina Malmgren Heander (chair), Per-Arne Gustavsson, Jon Risfelt and Peter Sandberg.
