Board Committees

The Board has two permanent committees: the Audit Committee and the Personnel and Remuneration Committee. In its meeting on December 13, 2023, the Board established a temporary Strategy Committee, which shall remain in place until otherwise decided by the Board. 

All three Committees report to the Board on their activities after each Committee meeting.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee assists the Board of Directors in supervising the company’s governance, accounting, financial reporting and internal control systems and in monitoring the activities of the internal and external audit. The Audit Committee prepares for the Board matters that fall under its areas of responsibility, but it does not have autonomous decision-making power unless the Board resolves otherwise on certain individual matters.

The Chair and members of the Audit Committee are elected annually by the Board from among its members. The Committee comprises at least three members. The members of the Audit Committee must be independent of the company, and at least one member must also be independent of the company’s significant shareholders.
