Corporate governance

We consider excellent corporate governance the foundation of solid business operations. Therefore, we set clear areas of responsibility for each of our managers, employees, and partners. We believe that this is the best way to offer our shareholders long-term, competitive profit and guarantee the sustainability of our operations in all aspects.

Efficient corporate governance is the key to smooth functioning: it guarantees that the division of roles, responsibilities, rights, and accountability is clearly and commonly understood.

A five-member supervisory board supervises the activities of the parent company.
