Corporate governance

This summary of the corporate governance practiced by the Bull Group should be read in conjunction with the comprehensive information published in the Group's latest Reference Document, available to download from the Financial reports section of this Web site.

Corporate governance code

At its meeting on 17 December 2008, the Board of Directors took note of the recommendations published by AFEP-MEDEF on 6 October 2008 relation to the remuneration of executive directors of listed companies.

The Board considered that these recommendations are in line with the company's approach to corporate governance and therefore decided to take the AFEP-MEDEF corporate governance code as the basis for producing this report, including the various recommendations of October 2003, January 2007 and October 2008 on directors' remuneration, which have been incorporated into the said Code.
