- All shareholders shall be treated equally
- NORBIT shall maintain open, relevant, and reliable communication about its activities with relevant stakeholders, including its shareholders, governmental bodies, and the public
- NORBIT’s board of directors shall be autonomous and independent of the executive management
- The majority of the directors shall be independent of major shareholders
- There shall be a clear division of roles and responsibilities between the shareholders, the board, and the management
NORBIT’s corporate governance principles are in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act §3-3b and based on the current Norwegian Code of Practice (the Code) for Corporate Governance, most recently issued on 14 October 2021. The Code is available at www.nues.no.
