Governance

Renishaw considers it complied with the provisions set out in the UK Corporate Governance Code, except as stated in the 2024 Annual Report. The Directors' Governance report 2024 within the 2024 Annual Report provides a summary of the Group's procedures for applying the principles of corporate governance and the extent to which such principles have been applied.

The Renishaw plc Board of Directors is responsible for the sustainable long-term success of the Group, which it does through its focused leadership, and the development, review and implementation of the Group's strategy and business model. Its other roles are to maintain control over the Group's assets, to monitor changes to the Group's management and control structures, to establish high ethical standards of behaviour, to develop robust corporate governance and risk management practices and procedures, and ensure that its obligations to its shareholders are understood and met. Assessing and monitoring culture so that policy, practices or behaviour throughout the business are aligned with the company's purpose, values and strategy is also central to its role. The Board also seeks to ensure that the strategy takes into account the interests of the Group's customers, suppliers, employees and the local communities in which Renishaw operates.

Equality, diversity & inclusion

Equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) remains and important area of focus for us, and we have grown a network of more than 70 EDI champions across the UK. We have also committed to the UK government's Disability Confident scheme. The purpose of this scheme is to encourage organisations like Renishaw to think differently about disability and take steps to improve the recruitment, retention, and development of disabled people. As part of our commitment, we are ensuring recruitment processes are inclusive and accessible, as well as developing current procedures to support existing employees.

Supported by the Board, members of our Senior Leadership Team attended Inclusive Leadership training, hosted by the Employers Network for Equality & Inclusion (enei). This created an opportunity for more of the business to develop a broader understanding and education on EDI and related matters.
