The register of interests of ORR Board and Executive team members is reviewed annually and updated each time an individual's interests change.
Railway legislation and good corporate governance demands that all members of the ORR board or employees should declare any involvement where they have a financial or other personal interest that is likely to influence their performance of a particular function.
The ORR board rules of procedure include procedures for managing potential or perceived conflicts of interests, and the board's code of conduct.
The register of interests of board members is reviewed at least annually and updated each time an individual's interests change.
