Business management and practices 

Sampo Group's governance rests on the idea that Sampo plc, as the parent company of the Group, provides the subsidiaries with a framework of general principles within which the parent company expects the subsidiaries to organise and carry out their businesses.

Sampo Group’s general principles guide the Group’s operations. These principles are manifested in the Code of Conduct as well as in principles and policies related to Compliance, Remuneration, Information Security, and Risk Management, which form the core of Sampo Group's internal governance framework. The principles aim to ensure that corporate governance is reliably organised and that core practices are of the highest standard and coherent throughout the Group. The principles are reviewed annually and approved by Sampo’s Board of Directors.

On the basis of, and in compliance with, the group-wide principles and applicable laws and regulations in respective jurisdictions, each Group company designs, implements, and oversees its own company-specific policies, governance, operational procedures, and risk management frameworks, which are aligned with the group level principles. Each individual Group company is responsible for following up and monitoring that the policies are complied with.
