Wihlborgs Corporate Governance

Wihlborgs Fastigheter AB is a Swedish public limited company with its registered address in Malmö, Sweden. Wihlborgs applies the Swedish Corporate Governance Code (the Code).

For us at Wihlborgs, transparency is important in our information to shareholders and the capital market. This enables us to increase understanding of our processes and decisions. Our corporate governance comprises well-functioning policies that enable fast and efficient leadership of operations. A favourable division of roles and responsibilities between owners, the Board and the management creates the prerequisites for reaching the pre-defined operational targets. If a company deviates from the rules contained in the Code, the company must both describe and explain the deviation in line with the comply or explain principle.
