Laing O’Rourke’s shareholders are committed to achieving corporate governance standards that meet the highest possible levels of integrity and compliance for a privately owned enterprise. We evaluate the effectiveness of our decision-making, accountability and audit processes against similarly sized publicly listed corporations. We believe this is the best way of ensuring the sustainable long-term growth and success of the Group.

The Group’s businesses operate within an established and externally benchmarked corporate governance framework that is underpinned by the Group’s vision and guiding principles. A key function of Laing O’Rourke’s corporate governance framework is the identification, management and mitigation of operational and financial risks. At every governance level we ensure the necessary committee processes are functioning correctly, in line with developments in company laws, corporate governance and best practice.
