Corporate Responsibility

Corporate Governance

A core element of behaving with honesty is ensuring that everyone in the organisation is clear around the "rules of our game" in order to achieve our targets. Ensuring that there is an open and transparent "rule book" for the organisation, and clear definitions of our roles and the positions we play is vital to ensure we work together as a great team and achieve our goals.

The Group has worked hard to ensure that the right governance framework is in place across the business from the members of staff in clubs all the way to the decisions made by the board. The governance framework covers all aspects of our business, with the core components being:

• Group Delegated Authorities
• A Healthy Working Code and Questionnaire
• Internal Controls Manual and Self Assessment
• Group Accounting Manual
• Business Definitions
• Group Policies
• Group Risk Register
• Use of Internal and External audit and Compliance teams
• Audit, Governance and Risk Committee
• Employee Counselling

These components combined provide the framework from which we can ensure we work together with Respect & Integrity.
