Founded in 1889, TORM has sailed the seas for more than 125 years.
In recent years, the debate on the importance of good Corporate Governance has grown. TORM is pleased to support the ultimate goal of the ongoing debate: the achievement of better and more responsible corporate management.
For TORM, good corporate governance represents the framework and guideline for business management. This includes the overall principles and structures of the Company’s management. The aim is to ensure that the Company is managed in a proper and orderly manner consistent with applicable legislation and codes.
In line with the ‘comply or explain’ principle, the Board of Directors has considered the UK Corporate Governance Code, as issued by the Financial Reporting Council in September 2014.
TORM complies with the revised recommendations with the exceptions detailed in the Company’s position on the individual recommendations, which is publicly available on the website in line with the disclosure obligations for companies listed on Nasdaq Copenhagen.
TORM has as of April 2017 elected UK as home state for the purposes of the EU Transparency Directive. TORM's major shareholder reporting threshold is 3 percentage of the voting rights or nominal value of the total share capital with further announcement requirements for each whole percentage point upwards or downward movement.
