Work of the Board of Directors The primary task of the Board is to serve the interests of the shareholders and the company. The Board is responsible for the company’s organisation and the management of the company’s business, and for ensuring that the Group is suitably structured to enable the company to optimally exercise its ownership responsibilities with respect to the Group subsidiaries. The Board is responsible for ensuring that the company complies with applicable laws and regulations, the Articles of Association and the Swedish Corporate Governance Code. The Board is obliged to regularly assess the company's and the Group’s financial situation and ensure that the company’s organisation is structured to enable satisfactory monitoring of its accounting, management of assets, and general financial situation. The Board adopts financial targets for the company, decides on the company’s strategy and business plan and ensures good internal control and risk management. The Board’s duties and working methods are regulated by the Companies Act, the Articles of Association and the Swedish Corporate Governance Code. The Banking and Financing Business Act also regulates the duties and work of the Board.
