Corporate governance in Techstep

Techstep ASA's principles for good corporate governance establish the foundation for long-term value creation to the benefit of the owners, employees, other stakeholders and society, at large.

The principles should contribute to instilling trust and confidence in the company, render decision-making more effective, and improve communication between the management, the Board of Directors and the company’s shareholders.

The principles cannot replace the ongoing work to promote a healthy corporate culture throughout the company, but should be considered in this context. Trust and confidence in Techstep is based on the existence of respect, responsibility and equality, both internally and externally.
