General meetings
The General Meeting is our annual opportunity to meet with shareholders. It serves as a platform for presenting Skanska's development and deciding on key matters.
The General Meeting is Skanska’s highest decision-making body, through which shareholders exercise their rights as owners. The Annual General Meeting (AGM) is held within six months of the end of the financial year. At the AGM, decisions are made on proposals from the Nomination Committee, the Board and, where applicable, shareholders, as well as on other matters required by the Swedish Companies Act, the Articles of Association and the Swedish Corporate Governance Code.
Shareholders decide, among other things, on the adoption of the income statement and balance sheet, the dividend, the discharge of the Board and the President and CEO from liability, the composition of the Board, board fees, auditor fees, the election of the auditor, approval of the Board’s remuneration report and, where applicable, guidelines for salary and other remuneration to senior executives and share saving programs.
