Corporate governance
Continuous disclosure
Continuous disclosure of the Group’s activities is a legal necessity for a publicly-listed company such as Leighton Holdings, and is essential in maintaining shareholder confidence and market trust.
Corporate governance processes are continuously reviewed to ensure compliance with changes to the Corporations Act and other legislation that affects Group companies. This ensures that the Group is in-line with reporting requirements of the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) in keeping the market properly informed on the affairs of the Group. A
Market Disclosure Policy and Procedure is in place and both Leighton Holdings and the operating companies have supporting procedures for the gathering and release of information to the Australian Stock Exchange.
Electronic communication plays an increasingly important part in ensuring the Group achieves its communication objectives. The Leighton Holdings website is a key source of information about the Group’s activities and is the first point of contact for anybody wishing to learn about our workload, financial performance, capabilities and experience.
Webcasts of the Group’s Annual General Meeting and financial results presentations are further examples of the Company’s goal to achieve wider disclosure and communication with stakeholders.
