- decide on long-term financial operations, acquisitions and divestments;
- monitor the quality of daily management and its compliance with the defined strategy;
- provide high-quality information to shareholders.
The Board of Directors meets at least four times per year. Major operations may require additional meetings to be convened.
To successfully carry out its missions, the Board of Directors relies on:
- an Audit Committee;
- a Strategy & Innovation Committees;
- an Ethics Committee;
- an Appointment and Remuneration Committee;
- a Development Committee;
- an Executive Committee, whose members can be invited to attend meetings of the Board of Directors when items involving their field of expertise are on the agenda.
