Acea and the value of rules in Corporate Governance

Corporate Governance is the collection of business and management strategies adopted by the Group in order to apply the principles of corporate responsibility, sustainable development strategy, globalisation, environmental protection, energy efficiency and renewable energy. Acea believes that the adoption of a corporate governance model, based on the principles of transparency and a balance between management and control, is an essential condition for pursing the values which underlie its mission.

On the basis of these considerations, the Company has set up and made operational the Internal Control Committee and the Senior Management Remuneration Committee; it has also arranged to adopt its own Shareholders’ Meeting Regulations and to establish a position of Investor Relator. Two further tools have been implemented: the Charter of Values and the Code of Ethics, with which the Company recognises and identifies the ethical approach which is the basis of its business activities.
