Effective governance is at the core of BG Group’s ability to operate successfully in the global business environment.

The Board of Directors of BG Group is committed to the very highest standards of corporate governance, which it considers are critical to maintaining investor confidence and for the integrity of the Group.

BG Group’s ordinary 10p shares are listed on the London Stock Exchange. BG Group’s American Depositary Shares, each representing 5 ordinary shares, are traded on the US over-the-counter market tier known as "International OTCQX".

BG Group has an established Governance framework that is overseen by the Board of Directors, which is ultimately responsible to BG Group plc shareholders. 

The framework is made up of three core interlinked elements:

• Organisation & Structure - designed to allow for effective and efficient decision-making across the Group.

• Internal Control Framework - defines the way in which the Group operates, and comprises all of the Group’s Business Principles, Policies, Standards, Processes and Guidelines.

• Independent Assurance - provided primarily by Group Audit, by our independent external Auditors and by other external advisers.
