Governance
VEON is committed to delivering high standards of corporate governance, both now and in the future. Our structure is designed to promote integrity in everything we do, and responsible and effective governance is core to our culture.

Our Board of Directors has the authority to make strategic decisions for the Group. Our bye-laws require that the Board approves important matters including, among others, the Group’s annual budget and audited accounts, organisational or reporting changes, major transactions or other significant actions. All Board members are elected by our shareholders through a cumulative voting process.

The Remuneration and Governance Committee also reviews the overall governance of VEON and coordinates the selection process for candidates to become directors, including recommending such candidates to the Board of Directors.
