About Prudential

 

Corporate Governance



The Board is responsible to shareholders for creating and delivering sustainable shareholder value through the management of the Group’s business. This governance report explains Prudential’s governance policies and practices, and sets out how the Board manages the business for the benefit of shareholders, promoting long-term shareholder interest.

The governance rules applicable to all UK companies admitted to the Official List of the UK Listing Authority are set out in the Combined Code, published by the Financial Reporting Council in June 2003, and revised in 2006. The directors believe that good corporate governance is central to achieving the Group’s objectives and maximising shareholder value, and are committed to high standards of corporate governance. The Board supports the Combined Code, and confirms that it has complied with all of the provisions set out in Section 1 throughout the financial year ended 31 December 2007, and has applied the principles as set out below and in the Directors’ Remuneration Report.
