Corporate Governance              

As a citizen participation company, W.E.B feels particularly committed to a responsible and transparent form of corporate management.


The Austrian Code of Corporate Governance basically serves as a set of rules for listed companies in Austria and was designed to supplement Austrian laws on stock markets and capital markets with a set of self-regulatory standards. Unlisted stock corporations may also apply the Code voluntarily.

The Code aims to establish a system of management and control of companies and groups that is accountable and geared to creating sustainable, long-term value. This objective is achieved by means of extensive rules of transparency and internal organization. 

WEB Windenergie AG considers the Austrian Code of Corporate Governance to play a vital role in strengthening the trust of shareholders, business partners, employees, and the general public in the company.

The Austrian Code of Corporate Governance defines different categories of rules: 

• L-Regel (Legal Requirement):This rule refers to mandatory legal requirements.
  
• C-Regel (Comply or Explain): This rule is to be followed; any deviation must be explained and the reasons stated in order to be in compliance with
  the Code.
• R-Regel (Recommendation): The nature of this rule
  is a recommendation; non-compliance with this rule requires neither disclosure nor explanation.
