| Corporate Governance
As a responsible corporate entity, EVC is committed to following best international practice in Corporate Governance. EVC's corporate structure lends itself to transparency and gives shareholders broad access to information, in line with Corporate Governance principles. In June 1997, the Committee on Corporate Governance in the Netherlands issued a report that included forty recommendations. Adopting the Committee's conclusions, EVC views Corporate Governance as a code of conduct for senior Company officers, consisting of a set of rules relating to effective management, proper supervision and management accountability. As a result, EVC is committed to abide by the principles of sound and independent control outlined in the Report. A Dutch company listed on the Amsterdam stock exchange since 1994, EVC operates under Dutch Corporate Governance. The offices of the holding company are in Eijsden, The Netherlands, while international business activities are co-ordinated from Lyndhurst, England. We operate major integrated manufacturing plants across Europe and in India and employ about 3,000 people.
