Our Board and Committees
The Board is collectively responsible for the sustainable longterm success of the Company and provides leadership and direction to management. Accordingly, the Board reviews and agrees the strategy for the group, proposed by the Executive Directors, on an annual basis and reviews certain aspects of the strategy at Board meetings during the year. In setting the strategy, the Board takes account of matters such as: market trends; competitive environment; private/public sector approach; international aspects of the business and opportunities; finance; shareholder returns; people and talent; and the Mitie Model, ensuring at all times that sufficient consideration is given to risk and internal controls.
