Board of Directors

The Board of Directors, supported by five committees (Audit and Risks Committee, Investment Committee, Nomination Committee, Remuneration Committee and Social and Environmental Responsibility Committee), determines the Company's strategy and business orientations. It oversees their implementation, taking particular account of the social and environmental challenges facing the Group. In addition, it deals with all matters concerning the smooth running of the Company, and settles all matters that concern it through its deliberations.

The current composition of the Board of Directors is the result of a desire to achieve a balanced Board, notably in terms of independence as well as shareholders strategic and partners representation. In this respect, this balance is the result of past and existing agreements arising from strategic operations carried out by the Group, and takes into account the level of independence, gender balance, diversity and skills required for the Board of Directors.

1 Employee directors are not taken into account in the calculation of these percentages.
