We take our governance responsibilities seriously and devote appropriate time and effort to ensure that Frontier is run on a responsible and considerate basis, with a focus on long-term sustainable success. As part of our approach to governance, we endeavour to take into account all of our key stakeholders and consider our influence within the games industry and our impact on wider society.

Frontier has followed the Quoted Companies Alliance Corporate Governance Code for Small and Mid-Sized Companies (the ‘QCA Code’) since 2018, refining the Company’s corporate governance arrangements in order to follow the ten principles of the QCA Code. In 2024, we have taken steps to further review and refine our alignment with the 2023 update to the QCA Code, against which the Company will report in FY25.

This Annual Report provides insights into the Company’s ongoing engagement with the QCA Code, reflecting its dedication to maintaining high standards of corporate governance. Frontier’s alignment with the QCA Code underscores our commitment to transparency, accountability and effective management, which are crucial to ensure effective engagement with shareholders and the wider stakeholder community, as well as supporting long-term success.

The AIM Rules changed in 2018 and as a result the Board refined the Company’s corporate governance arrangements in order to follow the 10 principles of the QCA Corporate Governance Code

The Annual Report for 2024 is available here. The table below sets out the ten principles of the QCA Code and provides direction to the relevant section(s) in the Annual Report for each principle.
