Our governance

The main decision-making, executive and managerial bodies at High Speed Two (HS2) Limited are the executive management team and the board.

Collectively, HS2 Ltd is responsible for ensuring that the HS2 rail network is:

  • designed, built and operates to the highest safety standards
  • built and operates sustainably, responsibly and respectfully of the communities, wildlife and places it affects
  • reliable, seamless and easy to use for all passengers and well-integrated with existing transport systems

We also work with our suppliers to build a skilled workforce that supports economic growth across the UK.

The board

The board members typically meet on a monthly basis. The role of the board is to:

  • ensure effective governance of the company so that the company makes decisions at the right time and properly manages risks
  • shape, challenge and direct the agenda for the company delivering stated priorities
  • monitor performance and risk, making choices (or recommendations to ministers) on our priorities ‘risk appetite’ (the amount and type of risk we are willing to take in order to meet our strategic objectives)
  • oversee healthy relations with our stakeholders and commercial partners
