The Leighton Holdings Board is responsible to shareholders for the long term performance of the company and the entities it controls and for overseeing the implementation of the highest standards of corporate governance with respect to the Group’s affairs.

To assist the Board in discharging its responsibilities, Leighton Holdings has adopted a governance framework which provides for the delegation of functions to Board Committees and senior management (under the leadership of the Chief Executive Officer). Whilst ultimate accountability rests with the Board, the framework ensures that functions are carried out by the most appropriate person or group and that a tiered system of responsibility and accountability exists throughout the company.
