Governance is key to a sustainable, enduring business

BlueScope places great importance on strong corporate governance. Built on the guiding principles in Our Bond and Code of Conduct, our Corporate Governance Framework sets the structures for accountability and the rules, relationships, systems and processes by which authority is exercised and managed within BlueScope. 

Our aim is to maximise our capabilities and conduct our business in an ethically responsible way to build a sustainable and enduring business and deliver on commitments to our stakeholder communities.

Board Governance

BlueScope's commitment to strong governance starts with the Board who set direction and empower leadership with the necessary standards, authority and resources to fulfil their accountabilities. At the outset, Our Board of Directors ensure proper governance of their own actions. More information on Board responsibilities and delegations of authority can be found in our Board Charter.

Our governing bodies, including the Board and its Committees and the Executive Leadership Team are organised, made accountable and remunerated for ensuring strong governance across corporate and business functions.
