An independent Board of Directors
Under the leadership of Chairwoman Sophie Bellon, the Board of Directors determines the strategic orientation of the Company.
The Board pays special attention to the selection of its members. In addition to their ability to represent the interests of all shareholders, Board members must also have the necessary skills, experience and mastery of strategic issues faced by the markets in which the Group operates. The Board strives to have as much diversity as possible among its members and to reflect the various geographic regions in which the Group is present. It also ensures that a range of technical skills are represented and that its members include individuals who know the Group’s operations well.
