Read more about Getinge's strategy on pages 12-27. Getinge's process for reviewing Group strategy comprises an annual review and assessment of the strategy. In addition, the Board reviews the strategy of all of the Business Areas and the Global Sales and Service organization once a year. The financial plan is based on the strategic initiatives. The President & CEO establishes the targets for the operations based on decisions by, and guidance from, the Board of Directors. Each of the respective functions' goals are set on the basis of the established overall objectives. The three Business Areas are responsible for their results in the Group. The Business Areas, the Global Sales and Service organiza- tion, corporate functions and certain group functions hold regular meetings for operational review with the Getinge Executive Team to follow up on developments and results, plans, risks and opportunities. In addition, monthly follow-ups of economic targets and forecasts are carried out together with the Business Areas and the Global Sales and Service organization. Steering documents-framework The Code of Conduct - Responsible leadership - provides guide- lines for how Getinge works. It can be summarized in the six principles in the table on this page. The Code of Conduct is based on Getinge's global policies. The Board of Directors has adopted 14 global policies that contain binding rules and general guidance for conduct within the Group. For each of the policy documents, more detailed and guiding directives and guidelines are issued (where appropriate). The 14 global policies and related global directives and guide- lines form the basis of the Group's steering documents, together with a separate quality framework and environmental policy. This framework applies to all employees in the Group. In addition to the global policy framework, the corporate functions and group support functions set additional or complementary minimum requirements for how operations are to be conducted. The Code of Conduct and all policy documents, directives and guidelines are available on the Group's internal digital platform, GetNet, and are published in a database for steering documents (GetBasics). The steering documents for Getinge's quality agenda are provided in a separate database (GetAligned). Both databases are available to all employees. The Code of Conduct is also publicly available at www.getinge.com/int/company/business-ethics/code- of-conduct/. Most of the global policy documents are also available on the above external website. The policies are approved by the Board of Directors and revised at least every second year or as required. Directives are approved by the President or the Getinge Executive Team member respon- sible for the area after being aligned with the entire Getinge Executive Team. One of the 14 policies is the corporate governance policy, the purpose of which is to clarify Getinge's corporate governance model, roles and areas of responsibility, as well as the system for decision-making that applies within the Group.
