Asker Management Standard
The Asker Management Standard is a framework for Asker’s decentralised corporate governance, aimed at ensuring that Asker is built on common values.
The Asker Management Standard encompasses the Group’s shared values as well as internal and external regulations and contains compulsory and non-compulsory governing documents. The Asker Management Standard is also an integral part of every acquisition process.
Asker’s Code of Conduct is the most important governing document and is compulsory for all employees. The Code of Conduct translates Asker’s core values into behaviours and provides guidance for how employees are expected to act.
The governing documents included in the Asker Management Standard are updated every year to reflect new legal requirements and any changes to Asker’s risk profile or operations.
The Asker Management Standard contains group-wide policies, procedures and guidelines covering financial reporting and control, risk management, values, HR and health and safety, IT security and integrity, communication, corporate governance, legal, M&A, quality, environment, business ethics, whistleblowing, anti-bribery and anti-corruption, as well as other important internal governing documents, such as the Articles of Association, the Procedure Rules for the Board of Directors and its Committees and Instructions for the CEO.
