Primaflow Limited

 Year ended 31 December 2019

Directors’ Duties – S172 Companies Act 2006

The board of directors of Primaflow Limited consider, both individually and together, that they have acted in the way they consider, in good faith, would be most likely to promote the success of the company for the benefit of its members as a whole (having regard to the stakeholders and matters set out in s172(1)(a)-(f) of the Act) in the decisions taken during the year ended 31 December 2019.

 To assist them in discharging their duty under s172 Companies Act 2006, the Directors engage with employees, customers and suppliers to reflect their insights and views when making decisions on strategy; delivering operational effectiveness, making plans, driving initiatives; and committing to deliver outcomes that enhance social value. Below are examples of how the Directors engage with stakeholders:

Employees

As explained in the Report of the Directors, the involvement of employees is vital to our business and the directors keep them informed on matters affecting them as employees and the various factors affecting the performance of the company. Employee representatives are consulted regularly on a range of matters affecting their interests. The directors also maintain an open-door policy and all employees are encouraged to bring forward their views on all aspects of the business

Customers and suppliers

The directors place considerable value on the engagement of customers and suppliers, taking on board their views and insights, through regular dialogue and meetings, in making decisions. We work together with our customers and suppliers for the mutual success of our respective businesses, putting in mind, our mutual responsibilities to the wider community and environment.

Community

In formulating our plan, we took into account the impact of the company’s operations on the community and environment and our wider social responsibilities, and in particular how we comply with legislation and react promptly to local community concerns.

 As the board of directors, our intention is to behave responsibly and ensure that management operate the business in a responsible manner, operating within the high standards of business conduct and good governance expected for a business such as ours and in doing so, will contribute to the delivery of our plan. The intention is to nurture our reputation, through both the construction and delivery of our plan, that reflects our responsible behaviour.

 The above, along with the narratives in the Report of the Directors, help highlight how the directors have observed the principles of s172 and engaged with stakeholders in decision making and in promoting the long-term success of the company.
