Corporate Governance
Relations with Shareholders
The Board is accountable to shareholders for the performance and activities of the Group. International Power ensures that its AGM provides shareholders with an opportunity to receive comprehensive information on all aspects of the Group’s business activities and to question senior management about business issues and prospects.
International Power also runs, within the terms of the regulatory framework, frequent contact programmes with industry analysts and institutional investors to discuss matters of strategy and financial performance. Contact is made principally by the CEO, CFO and regional directors. On issues of major importance the Chairman communicates with major shareholders. The Senior Independent Non-Executive Director (Tony Isaac) is also available as an alternative point of contact if shareholders have concerns over the Chairman’s performance or where contact with the Chairman or other communication channels would be inappropriate. At each Board meeting an update is given on movements in major shareholdings and on contact programmes between the Executive Directors and institutional shareholders. Reports issued by financial analysts on the Company are circulated to Board members. These summaries and reports enable the Directors to gain an understanding of the views and opinions of those with an interest in the Company.
All results presentations and stock exchange announcements are available to shareholders on the Investors section of the website.
