Corporate governance
Good corporate governance, including focus on sustainable long-term value creation and culture, is a key component of 'the Aalberts way' of doing business and is embedded in our core values. Aalberts endorses the principles of the Dutch Corporate Governance Code (the “Code”). The Code is available at mccg.nl. Our corporate governance structure has been updated in accordance with the Code in the past years.
Aalberts virtually applies all best practice provisions of the Code. To a limited extent, these have been adjusted to specific circumstances of Aalberts. As a result, the Management Board believes it meets the principles of ‘comply or explain’. The deviation from the Code relates to the following subject.
Best practice provision 4.3.3 – binding nomination
The Articles of Association provide that the General Meeting can cancel the binding character of a nomination for appointment of a Managing Board member or of a Supervisory Board member, with a resolution passed with the maximum majority permitted by law. Currently, this majority is two-thirds of the votes cast representing more than half of the issued capital. The deviation relates to the well-balanced allocation of the control and influence of the company’s individual bodies as referred to in the paragraph ‘decision-making and priority shares’.
There are two committees of the Supervisory Board: the Audit Committee and the Nomination, Selection and Remuneration Committee.
Audit Committee
The Audit Committee aids and advises the Supervisory Board in its responsibility to supervise the integrity and quality of the Aalberts’ financial reporting and the effectiveness of Aalberts’ internal risk management and control systems. The Audit Committee consists of Stefanie Kahle-Galonske (Chair), Lieve Declercq and Roel Vestjens.
Nomination, Selection and Remuneration Committee
Nomination, Selection and Remuneration Committee (“NSR”) aids and advises the Supervisory Board on matters relating to the selection and appointment of the members of the Management Board and Supervisory Board. The NSR further monitors and evaluates the remuneration policy for the Management Board. The NSR consists of Frank Melzer (Chair), Peter van Bommel and Petra Mayer.
