Board committees

The Board of Directors may appoint committees from among its members and prescribe their agendas. All the committees report their work to the Board of Directors. The Board Committees act as preparatory bodies for the Board of Directors and do not have an authority to take decisions on matters that fall within the Board of Directors’ authority unless specifically so authorised by the Board of Directors. The rules of procedure of the committees are set out in their respective Charters.

Currently, one permanent committee, the Audit and Compensation Committee, has been established to assist the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has adopted rules of procedure for the Committee and elects the Committee members as well as appoints the Chair of the Committee.
