PRINTThe Board of Directors has established four internal committees (the “Committees”) with preliminary, propositional and consultative functions, namely:
- Control and Risk Committee
- Remuneration Committee
- Nomination Committee
- Sustainability Committee
The composition, tasks, calling and resolution procedures, course and writing of the minutes of the meetings, as well as the powers and means of the Committees are disciplined by specific regulations approved by the Board of Directors.
All of the Committees are composed of four non-executive Directors, three of which are independent. Moreover, in compliance with the previsions of the Corporate Governance Code: (i) the Control and Risk Committee has expertise that is consistent with the Company’s industry and assessment of its risks and at least one member of the Committee has adequate knowledge and experience in accounting, finance or risk management; (ii) at least one member of the Remuneration Committee has adequate knowledge and experience in financial matters or remuneration policies.
The Chairman of each Committee is appointed by the Board of Directors.
The Secretary of the Board of Directors, or another person identified by them within the Legal Affairs Department, performs the functions of each Committees’ Secretary.
The Committees have the right to access the information and corporate departments needed to perform their duties and, performing them, the Committees may also consult, through the Company’s structures, external professionals/advisors, provided that the latter are adequately bound by the necessary confidentiality agreements. In addition, the Committees, if they deem it necessary, may prepare an annual budget to be submitted to the Board of Directors.
