Create long-term value

Husqvarna Group's overall objective is to create long-term value for its shareholders and other stakeholders. This requires effective corporate governance with an appropriate organizational structure, systems for internal control and risk management, and transparency.

Husqvarna AB is a publicly traded company listed on the NASDAQ Stockholm and applies the Swedish Code of Corporate Governance.

Good corporate governance is a fundamental prerequisite not only to meet our obligations as a public company, but also to create value for shareholders in an efficient, responsible and sustainable manner. Husqvarna Group’s corporate governance structures are defined in part by external laws (e.g., the Swedish Companies Act), in part by self-regulatory standards (e.g., the Swedish Code and the Nasdaq Stockholm Rulebook for Issuers) and in part by internal rules (e.g., the Company’s Articles of Association, Code of Conduct, and policies). While not mandatory, Husqvarna Group has elected to comply with all aspects of the Swedish Code, without exception.
