The Directors of Graphene Platforms Limited consider that, during the year ended 30 September 2025, they have acted in a manner most likely to promote the success of the Company for the benefit of its members as a whole. In doing so, the Directors have had regard to the matters set out in Section 172(1) of the Companies Act 2006, including:
a) the likely consequences of decisions in the long term;
b) the interests of the Company’s employees;
c) the need to foster the Company’s business relationships with suppliers, customers, and others;
d) the impact of the Company’s operations on the community and the environment;
e) the desirability of maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct; and
f) the need to act fairly between members of the Company.
The Directors’ decision-making during the year focused on supporting the long-term development of the Company following its acquisition, ensuring appropriate regulatory governance, and protecting the Company’s reputation as a regulated platform provider. Key decisions included investment in platform capability, strengthening governance and oversight arrangements, and ensuring continued compliance with applicable regulatory requirements.
The Company does not directly employ staff, with employees engaged at group level by Graphene Holdco Limited and made available to support the Company’s operations. The Directors recognise that the skills, experience, and engagement of group employees are critical to the effective operation and development of the Company’s platform. Accordingly, the Directors have had regard to employee interests through their oversight of group resourcing, governance arrangements, and operational priorities.
The Directors consider the Company’s relationships with clients, suppliers, and key partners to be fundamental to its business model. These relationships are managed with a focus on transparency, reliability, and regulatory integrity.
Given the nature of the Company’s activities, its environmental impact is limited and primarily related to office-based operations and technology usage. The Directors remain mindful of environmental considerations and seek to minimise operational impact where practicable.
The Directors place significant importance on maintaining high standards of business conduct and regulatory compliance. Acting fairly between shareholders has remained straightforward during the year, given the ownership structure following the acquisition.
