See it on page 17Related-party transactions are managed through standard legal requirements rather than specific internal bylaws requiring additional Supervisory Board approval.
See it on page 16PCF Group S.A. maintains a framework of corporate governance that aligns with the majority of the Best Practice of GPW Listed Companies 2016, though it maintains several strategic deviations rooted in its organizational structure and recent transition to public markets. As of late 2020, the company’s governance model is characterized by a single-member Management Board, which precludes a formal division of responsibilities and centralizes risk management, compliance, and internal audit functions. Rather than establishing dedicated internal units for these oversight roles, the company relies on the direct supervision of the Management Board and the Audit Committee to ensure operational integrity.
A significant area of non-compliance involves the absence of a formalized diversity policy. The company prioritizes merit-based recruitment and professional qualifications over specific gender or age targets for its governing bodies. Furthermore, technical and historical limitations impact transparency; the company does not provide real-time public broadcasts of General Meetings or a five-year historical financial data set in a processable format, citing its recent adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards as the primary cause for the latter.
Regarding shareholder rights and executive compensation, the company adheres to statutory guidelines but bypasses certain optional recommendations. Notable exceptions include a share nominal value of 0.02 PLN, which is significantly lower than the recommended 0.50 PLN, and the lack of a dedicated compensation committee. While a formal remuneration policy is in place, stock-based incentives currently lack a minimum two-year vesting period. Despite these omissions, the company maintains standard protocols for managing conflicts of interest and ensures that significant related-party transactions follow established legal requirements, even in the absence of specific internal bylaws requiring additional Supervisory Board approval.
