CORPORATE
GOVERNANCE

It is the Board’s responsibility to ensure that Science in Sport plc is managed for the long-term benefit of all shareholders, with effective and efficient decision-making. Corporate governance is an important part of that job, reducing risk and adding value to our business.

The Board have adopted the Quoted Companies Alliance (QCA) Corporate Governance Code in line with the London Stock Exchange’s recent changes to the AIM Rules requiring all AIM-listed companies to adopt and comply with a recognised corporate governance code. Our report sets out in broad terms how we comply at this point in time. We will provide annual updates on our compliance with the code.
