Corporate Governance

At discoverIE, we remain committed to maintaining the highest standards of corporate governance. We strongly believe that good governance is fundamental to the effective management of the business and its continued success.

The Board leads the Group’s governance framework and is responsible for setting the strategy of the Group, monitoring progress, and ensuring that the appropriate internal controls are in place and that they are operating effectively.

The Board is assisted by four principal committees – Audit, Nomination, Remuneration and Sustainability – each of which is responsible for reviewing and dealing with matters within its own terms of reference, which can be found below. The Board exercises its oversight through the Group Management Committee. Find out more in our Governance Report 2023.
