Corporate Governance
Statement
RWS continued to evolve rapidly during FY22,
with the development and launch of its mediumterm accelerated growth strategy, new values and
purpose, further development of its Board and
Executive Team, and completion of the integration
of SDL.
A flexible working policy was introduced for our
colleagues, with the dynamic workplace enabling
the Group to meet client expectations and deliver
a good trading performance, while maintaining
RWS’s strong balance sheet.
OUR STAKEHOLDERS
The Board is committed to enhancing engagement with all of our
stakeholders. In FY22, we continued to provide an excellent service to
our clients. Our corporate sustainability policy encompasses the way
that we do business and interact with our colleagues, our clients, our
suppliers, our communities and the environment around us,
In spring 2022, we launched a Group-wide company Code of Conduct,
along with associated training, and have implemented an annual
compliance declaration.
We sustained our track record of paying regular dividends to
shareholders. This is the 19th year in succession that we have
increased the dividend.
We describe on pages 77 to 79 how the Board engaged with each
of our key stakeholders during FY22.
