Open in ViewerOpens in native device viewer
Cargotec's governance and management are based on the Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act and Securities Markets Act, the company's Articles of Association and the rules and guidelines of NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd. Cargotec complies without exceptions with the Finnish Corporate Governance Code, available on the Securities Market Association's website at www.cgfinland.fi. Cargotec's shareholders at the Shareholders' Meeting exercise the highest decision making power. The company is managed by the Board of Directors and the President and CEO.
This statement is issued as a separate report and disclosed, together with the financial statements, Board of Directors' Report and the remuneration statement, on the company website at www.cargotec.com. The same information is included in the Annual Report for 2010.
The Shareholders' Meeting is convened by the Board of Directors. The Annual General Meeting (AGM) is held annually, within three months of the closing of the financial period, on a day designated by the Board. An Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting in respect of specific matters shall be held when considered necessary by the Board, or when requested in writing by an auditor of the company or by shareholders representing at least 10 percent of all the issued shares of the company.
The issues decided on by the Shareholders' Meeting include the adoption of the financial statements, distribution of profit, granting of release from liability to the members of the Board of Directors and to the President and CEO, the election of the members of the Board and auditor, and their remunerations, amendments to the Articles of Association and other matters to be addressed at the Shareholders' Meeting under the Limited Liability Companies Act and the Articles of Association.
The notice of the Shareholders' Meeting is published on Cargotec's website and in at least two daily newspapers, decided upon by the Board, appearing in the Helsinki region. This notice specifies the matters to be considered by the meeting as well as the proposals made by the Board and the Board Committees to the meeting. Shareholders must register for the meeting in the manner specified in the notice.
The names of candidates for Cargotec's Board are published in connection with the notice of the Shareholders' Meeting, if the candidates have given their consent to their election and the proposal has been made by the Nomination and Compensation Committee of Cargotec's Board, or if the proposal is supported by shareholders representing at least 10 percent of the total voting rights of the company. The names of any candidates appointed after the notice has been issued will be published separately, if the aforementioned conditions are met. Furthermore, the Board Audit Committee's proposal for the auditor will be published in a similar manner prior to the Shareholders' Meeting.
It is the company's aim that all members of the Board, the President and CEO and the auditor be present at the Shareholders' Meeting, and that a candidate standing for the Board for the first time attend the Shareholders' Meeting deciding on the election, unless
he or she has a substantive reason to be absent.
The AGM held in Helsinki on 5 March 2010 was attended by 406 shareholders representing 79 percent of the total voting rights of the company. In addition to decisions taken on an annual basis, the AGM decided on an option programme and authorised the Board of Directors to decide on the acquisition of the company's own shares, as well as on a share issue involving the transfer of treasury shares. All documents related to the AGM are available on the company website at www.cargotec.com/investors.
At the end of 2010, the company had approximately 17,000 shareholders. Cargotec's largest shareholders on 31 December 2010 are listed in the Shares and shareholders section of the financial statements, and a list updated every month is available on the company website at www.cargotec.com/investors.
Cargotec has two share classes, each with different voting rights. In the Shareholders' Meeting, each class A share carries one vote, as does each set of ten class B shares, with the provision that each shareholder is entitled to at least one vote.
Shareholders have the right to attend the Shareholders' Meeting if they have been entered into the register of shareholders at least eight working days before the meeting and if they have declared to the company their intention to attend in the manner specified in the notice of the Shareholders' Meeting. Holders of nominee-registered shares can also attend the Shareholders' Meeting by registering themselves in the register of shareholders on a temporary basis. A shareholder can attend the Shareholders' Meeting either in person, or via a representative authorised by the shareholder.
Shareholders have the right to raise issues under the purview of the Shareholders' Meeting for consideration by the Meeting, if they so request in a written notification to the Board in good time for the matter to be included in the notice of the Shareholders' Meeting. The date, by which Cargotec's Board of Directors must be notified of matters to be considered at the Shareholders' Meeting, is published annually on the company website at www.cargotec.com/investors.
In the Shareholders' Meeting, all shareholders have the right to raise questions and propose resolutions
regarding issues on the agenda.
Shareholders registered in Cargotec's shareholder register on the record date of the dividend payment are entitled to dividend. In dividend distribution, class B shares earn a higher dividend than class A shares. The difference between dividends paid on the two classes of shares is a minimum of one (1) cent and a maximum of two and a half (2.5) cents.
Cargotec's Board of Directors includes a minimum of five and a maximum of eight regular members, as well as a maximum of three deputy members. Board members are elected by the AGM for a term of office that expires at the end of the first AGM following their election. The Board elects the Chairman and Vice Chairman from among its members. The majority of Board members shall be independent of the company and significant shareholders. In the election of Board members, due attention should be paid to ensuring that members mutually complement one another in terms of experience and expertise in the company's line of business and its stage of development.
Cargotec's Board is responsible for the management and proper organisation of the company's operations as well as representing the company. The duties of the Board are determined on the basis of the Articles of Association and the Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act. The Board has compiled a written charter for its work that defines its main duties and operating principles. In compliance with the charter, the Board convenes regularly seven to eight times a year, and whenever necessary, by invitation of the Chairman.
The Board's responsibilities include approving the company's financial statements and interim reports, the supervision of accounting and control of the company's financial matters, and preparing issues to be presented to the Shareholders' Meeting. The Board also decides on the company's contributions, loans and guarantees. The Board elects Cargotec's President and CEO and determines the related terms of employment. Furthermore, the Board confirms the company's strategic plans and annual action plans, as well as significant acquisitions and investments, and approves the company's risk management principles.
In the AGM of 2010, the following were re-elected as members of the Board: Tapio Hakakari (b. 1953), LL.M Ilkka Herlin (b. 1959), Ph.D. Peter Immonen (b. 1959), M.Sc. (Econ.)

The Board elected Ilkka Herlin as Chairman of the Board and Tapio Hakakari as Vice Chairman. Outi Aaltonen, Senior Vice President, General Counsel, was appointed Secretary to the Board of Directors.
The Board reviews its own performance and procedures once a year through internal self-assessment. Moreover, the Board conducts an annual assessment of the independence of its members. The members of the Board are independent of the company and, with the exception of Ilkka Herlin and Peter Immonen, also independent of significant shareholders in the company. Ilkka Herlin, Chairman of the Board, is one of the largest owners of Cargotec through the company Wipunen varainhallinta Oy controlled by him, holding over 20 percent of the votes and over 10 percent of the shares of the company. He is also a Board member in two major shareholder companies, Mariatorp Oy and D-sijoitus Oy. Peter Immonen is a Board member of Wipunen varainhallinta oy and Mariatorp Oy.

* Member of the Board as of 5 March 2010
The Board has set up two committees to improve the efficiency of board work: the Audit Committee and the Nomination and Compensation Committee. The Board nominates the members and Chairman of the Committees from among its members and confirms the Committees' charters. The Committees have no autonomous decision-making power. They prepare minutes of their meetings and report to the Board on a regular basis.
The Audit Committee's duty is to supervise the financial reporting executed by the management, and to monitor the financial statement and interim reporting process. The Audit Committee supervises the adequacy and appropriateness of the company's internal control, internal audit and risk management in accordance with its charter, and handles internal audit plans and reports. Furthermore, the Committee prepares a proposal to the AGM regarding the election and fees of the external auditor, defines and monitors the nonaudit services performed by the auditing firm to ensure the auditor's independence, and supervises the statutory audit of financial statements and consolidated financial statements. The Committee also reviews the Corporate governance statement. The Audit Committee's charter was last updated in autumn 2010.
Audit Committee meetings are attended by Committee members, the secretary to the Committee, the company's Director of Internal Audit, the President and CEO, and the representatives of the auditing firm. If the matters to be dealt with so require, the Committee convenes without the presence of the company's management.
The Audit Committee consists of a minimum of three Board members. In 2010, Teuvo Salminen acted as chairman of the Audit Committee (as of 5 March 2010), while Ilkka Herlin, Karri Kaitue (chairman until 5 March 2010) and Anja Silvennoinen acted as members of the Committee. Committee members are independent of the company and, with the exception of Ilkka Herlin, independent of significant shareholders in the company. Committee members possess years of experience in business management duties.
The Nomination and Compensation Committee's duty is to prepare a proposal to Cargotec's AGM concerning
the composition and remuneration of the Board. Furthermore, the Committee prepares a proposal to the Board regarding the appointment of the President and CEO and the terms of employment. It is also the Committee's duty to ensure that the resourcing of the company management is appropriate and that their salary and other terms are competitive. Management here refers to the President and CEO, the Executive Board, and people reporting primarily to members of the Executive Board. The Nomination and Compensation Committee confirms the target group and considers, principally once a year, their salary adjustments, bonus principles, bonuses earned and successor planning. Furthermore, the committee's tasks include preparing and presenting to the Board stock option, share, and other employee incentive programmes, as well as the company's voluntary pension schemes.
The Nomination and Compensation Committee consists of a minimum of three Board members. The Committee convenes as needed but at least three times a year. In 2010, Ilkka Herlin acted as chairman of the Nomination and Compensation Committee, while Tapio Hakakari, Peter Immonen and Antti Lagerroos acted as members of the Committee. Committee members are independent of the company.

* Member of the Board as of 5 March 2010
The Board appoints Cargotec's President and CEO and determines the related terms of employment. Mikael Mäkinen (b. 1956), M.Sc. (Eng.), has been Cargotec's President and CEO since 2006. The President and CEO is responsible for ensuring that the targets, plans, guidelines and goals set by the Board are carried out within Cargotec. He or she also ensures that the accounting practices of the company comply with the law and that financial matters are handled in a reliable manner. The employment terms of the President and CEO are defined in a written employment contract. Pekka Vauramo (b. 1957), Chief Operating Officer, M. Sc. (Eng.), acts as Deputy to CEO.
Supporting the President and CEO in his duties, the Executive Board is responsible for business development and the company's operational activities in accordance with targets set by the Board of Directors and the CEO. The Executive Board also defines operative principles and procedures in accordance with guidelines set by the Board. The Executive Board convenes every month and whenever necessary. President and CEO Mikael Mäkinen acts as the chairman of the Executive Board.
In spring 2010, Cargotec's business was reorganised into three operative business areas and three regions, and Pekka Vauramo was appointed Chief Operating Officer in charge of those. In financial reporting, the business areas and regions form two reporting segments: Industrial & Terminal and Marine.
Cargotec applies the insider guidelines of NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd, in addition to which Cargotec's Board has approved internal insider guidelines that are based on the OMX guidelines. In compliance with the Finnish Securities Markets Act, Cargotec's permanent public insider register comprises, due to their positions, the members of the Board, the President and CEO and the auditors and, by definition of the company, the members of the Executive Board. The company's permanent company-specific group of insiders includes people employed by the company and people who work for the company under a contract, and who, due to their duties, have regular access to insider information. People who, on the basis of an employment or other contract, work for the company and obtain insider information associated with a specific project, are entered in the company's project-specific insider register, which is established when necessary.
Permanent insiders are prohibited from trading in Cargotec's securities for 21 days prior to the publication of Cargotec's interim reports or financial statement releases (closed window). Project-specific insiders are prohibited from trading in the company's securities until the project concerned has been cancelled or disclosed.
Cargotec's Legal Department is responsible for adherence to insider guidelines and for monitoring the duty to declare as well as the maintenance of insider registers. The company maintains its insider registers in Euroclear Finland Oy's SIRE system.
Updated every trading day, information in the public insider register is available on the company website at www.cargotec.com/investors.
The statutory external audit for the financial period includes auditing of accounting records, financial statements, and administration. In addition to the auditor's report issued annually, the auditors report to the Board on their audit findings on a regular basis. Cargotec's financial period is the calendar year. According to the Articles of Association, the company has at least one and a maximum of three auditors. The auditors must be public accountants authorised by the Central Chamber of Commerce. They are elected
annually by the AGM and their assignment expires at the end of the first AGM following the election.
PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy has acted as Cargotec's auditor since the beginning of the company's first financial period, 1 June 2005. The AGM of 5 March 2010 elected Authorised Public Accountants Johan Kronberg and PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy as Cargotec's auditors, in accordance with a proposal by the Audit Committee. PricewaterhouseCoopers nominated Authorised Public Accountant Jouko Malinen as its principal auditor. Auditors' fees are compensated against an invoice.

Cargotec compiles its financial reporting in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the Finnish Securities Markets Act, the Finnish Accounting Act and the Finnish Accounting Board's guidelines and statements, while complying with the standards of the Financial Supervisory Authority (FIN-FSA) and the rules of NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd. The internal control and risk management principles, guidelines, practices and responsibilities pertaining to the company's financial reporting process, have been designed to ensure that the financial reports disclosed by Cargotec are reliable and meet the requirements of the law, regulations and company policies.
The objective of Cargotec's internal control is to ensure that its operations are efficient and profitable, its risk management is adequate and appropriate, and that financial and other information produced is reliable. Cargotec's internal control is based on its values and the Code of conduct. With respect to the financial reporting process, these are supported by Cargotec's policies and guidelines as well as its clearly defined internal financial reporting process and communication. Cargotec's Internal control policy, which is approved by the Board of Directors, specifies the applicable control principles, procedures and responsibilities. Similarly to other Cargotec operations, responsibility for the internal control is divided in financial reporting into three tiers. Line management is primarily responsible for internal control. It is backed up by corporate support functions, which define instructions applicable across the company and supervise risk management. Internal and external audits form the third tier, their task being to ensure that the first two tiers are functioning effectively.
The Internal Audit function operates separately from the operative organisation and reports to the Board Audit Committee and, administratively, to the President and CEO. Cargotec's Internal Audit audits the operations of major subsidiaries and business units on a regular basis. The purpose of such audits is to assess the effectiveness of internal control and risk management as well as compliance with operating principles and guidelines. Furthermore, Internal Audit audits and assesses financial reporting processes and compliance with related control measures in Cargotec units. It regularly reports on its findings and audit activities to the company management and the Board Audit Committee.
Internal control objectives are taken into account in all company development projects. In 2010, Cargotec introduced an Authorisation policy applicable in different parts of the organisation and to responsible persons. During the year, efforts towards process harmonisation and development continued. Ensuring the fulfilment of internal control objectives is a key element in this process development.
In Cargotec, risk management is part of internal control operations. Approved by the Board of Directors and based on Cargotec values, the Risk management policy specifies the objectives and principles of the risk management as well as the responsibilities involved. A core principle is continuous, systematic and preventive action taken to identify risks, define the company's risk appetite, assess and handle risks and, if they materialise, to deal with them effectively. The President and CEO and the Executive Board are responsible for the
methods, implementation and supervision of risk management, and report on these to the Board of Directors. Cargotec's risk management is spread across units and corporate support functions that assign responsibility for risk management and are in charge of identifying, managing and reporting risks. Financial risks are centrally managed by the Corporate Treasury, which draws up financial risk reports for corporate management and the Board of Directors on a regular basis.
Cargotec's Risk management policy was updated during 2010 to match the company's current operating model. In addition, risk management reporting has been specified in more detail to support active risk monitoring.
The effectiveness of internal control measures related to financial reporting is monitored by the Board of Directors, the Audit Committee, the President and CEO, the Executive Board and operative management teams. Various control measures, such as reconciliations, logic analyses and comparative analyses, are performed at different organisational levels. The purpose of these control measures is to detect, prevent and correct any errors and deviations in financial follow-up.
Cargotec's financial reporting is based on monthly performance monitoring on different organisational levels. Reporting schedules and the centralised reporting system have been designed to support the organisation's operative matrix. Financial reports are first reviewed at reporting unit level, then in the review meetings of the operative management team in charge of production, market region and business area, and finally at the Executive Board's review meeting. Financial information is also reported to the Board of Directors on a monthly basis. Controllers report any deviations from the plans to the management teams, analyse the reasons for such deviations and support the management in decision-making. Monthly reviews also ensure that performance is in line with annual targets and financial forecasts are up to date.
The financial reporting and planning instructions (Cargotec accounting standards and Cargotec reporting manual) are available to all employees on Cargotec's intranet. The company's financial administration aims to harmonise the practices and procedures
applied by controllers, while ensuring the consistent interpretation of instructions and further improving them.
Instructions on the disclosure of financial information and on external communications are included in the Cargotec disclosure policy approved by the Board of Directors. This policy is available on Cargotec's intranet and on the company website at www.cargotec. com/investors. Together with Corporate Communications, Investor Relations are responsible for keeping the policy up to date and for supervising compliance.
In 2010, Cargotec took determined action to harmonise the financial reporting. In support of these efforts, Cargotec introduced a centralised corporate reporting function and a reporting model, according to which controllers report to financial management instead of business management. A priority in finance function's development work was building a financial information monitoring model as part of the ongoing ERP development project. The objective of the system development project is to reduce the number of financial administration systems and to improve efficiency.
Cargotec's bookkeeping in Finland and Sweden was transferred to a shared service centre. Improving the efficiency of this centre and establishing its operations was a priority in 2010.
In 2010, Cargotec subsidiaries conducted a selfassessment of risk points and control measures in the financial reporting process, and prepared a development plan on the basis of the key risks and control objectives specified in the previous year. Risk points were identified across the entire chain, from the subsidiaries' reporting processes to Group accounting. On the basis of these, the processes were or will be supplemented with approval procedures, reconciliations, segregation of duties pertaining to the operational chains involved in bookkeeping, as well as analysis of financial information in order to discover errors. In the future, such an assessment will be conducted and reviewed annually as part of the external and internal audit processes. The results of the assessments will also be used for upgrading internal instructions and procedures.
