Corporate Governance

Corporate Governance

Corporate Governance is a method of developing and enforcing regulatory measures in order to seek more controlled and accountable management in line with international best practices. It also ensures there are clear guidelines and greater transparency for the Board of Directors, including key responsibilities and expectations. It should instil a culture where the Board of Directors and the Executive Management contemplate the impact of their decisions prior to implementation to consider the interests of the Shareholders and others.

The Corporate Governance Manual is a framework that has been designed to comply with GULF ALUMINIUM ROLLING MILL BSC (Closed), “GARMCO” or the “Company” Memorandum and Articles of Associations, the Commercial Companies Law of the Kingdom of Bahrain (the “Companies Law”), and with international best practices and with the Corporate Governance Code of the Kingdom of Bahrain (“the Code”). At GARMCO we are committed to sound corporate governance principles.

Purpose:

The powers of the Board are those set out in various sections of the Company’s Memorandum & Article of Associations (the “Articles”), those set out in the Code, Charter and those matters reserved to the Board in the ‘Schedule of Authority’ document approved by the Board from time to time.
