In addition to the mandatory L Rules, voestalpine AG currently complies with all the C Rules and, with one exception (see below), all the R Rules (Recommendations) of the Code, as amended in January 2025.
- Austrian Code of Corporate Governance
The Austrian Code of Corporate Governance provides Austrian stock corporations with a framework for managing and monitoring their companies. The Code is based on the provisions of Austrian stock corporation, stock exchange, and capital market law, the EU recommendations regarding the responsibilities of members of supervisory boards and the compensation of directors, as well as the OECD Principles of Corporate Governance.
The Corporate Governance Codex contains the following rules:
“L rules” (= Legal) are measures prescribed by law;
The Code entered into effect in October 2002 and has been revised several times since, most recently in January 2025. The Code achieves validity when companies voluntarily undertake to comply with it.
“C rules” (= Comply or Explain) must be justified in the event of non-compliance;
“R rules” (= Recommendations) are recommendations only.
- Objectives of the Code
The Code serves to establish a system for managing and controlling companies and groups which is accountable and geared to creating sustainable, long-term value. It is designed to ensure a high degree of transparency for all stakeholders of a company. - voestalpine
