Trinova Ltd is managed as part of the Trinova Group (“the Group”). The Management Board (“the Board”) of the Group meets regularly to consider human resource issues relating to the Group, terms and conditions of employment, remuneration and retirement benefits. The Board is responsible for approving the Group remuneration policy and in doing so takes into account the pay and conditions across our Group. This includes the terms of bonus plans, partners’ and employees’ plans and the individual remuneration packages of the Board and other senior Group Partners and employees, including all Code Staff.
There were 12 meetings during 2022.The members of the Board during 2022 were: L. Forsberg (Chair), E.Costello, S. Resouly, W. Luk and A. Liesche. The executive members for Trinova Ltd are L. Forsberg, E. Costello and S. Resouly.
