Corporate governance
Shaping our future
Our Board of Directors remains committed to the highest standards of governance across the Group, and reports against the UK Corporate Governance Code. Further information on how we have applied its principles and provisions can be found in our annual report.
The Board helps to shape the strategy of XP Power, ensuring a measured approach that mitigates risk and aligns with corporate and social responsibility priorities. We're committed to the long-term sustainable success of the company, generating value for shareholders.
Clear collaboration
We encourage a culture of openness and debate to ensure all views are heard and taken into consideration. The CEO and CFO ensure that directors receive accurate, timely, clear and relevant information in order to carry out their duties.
There is a clear division of responsibility between the Chair, who is responsible for the management of the Board, and the CEO, who is responsible for the day-to-day running of the company and execution of our strategy.
