Report on Board
activities during 2000
In 2000, Volvo’s Board of Directors
consisted of seven members elected
by shareholders at the Annual General
Meeting, plus three members and
two deputy members appointed by
employee organizations. The President
of AB Volvo is a member of the
Board. During 2000, the Board held
six regular meetings, in addition to
which eight special meetings were
held.
The Board has adopted proce-
dures for its internal activities that
contain rules pertaining to the number
of Board meetings, matters to be
handled at regular meetings of the
Board and duties incumbent on the
Chairman.
The Board has also issued written
instructions specifying when and how
information that is required to enable
the Board to evaluate the Company’s
and Group’s financial position, should
be reported to the Board, as well as
the distribution of work between the
Board and the President, and the
order in which the Executive Vice
Presidents are to substitute for the
President.
During the year, the Board
reviewed the economic and financial
position of the Company and Group
on a regular basis. The Board also
dealt regularly with matters involving
divestments, acquisitions, the estab-
lishment of new operations, and mat-
ters related to investments in product
renewal and product development in
the Group’s different business areas.
