The Supervisory Board supervises the work of the Management Board in line with the powers and responsibilities conferred by law and the Company's Articles of Association. During the year the Board dedicates most of its attention to the business and financial development of the Group and the parent company, to important business events and to achieving strategic and general business goals, among which adoption of the annual plan and monitoring its execution.
The Supervisory Board normally convenes seven times a year. Procedural issues related to the Board's work are regulated by the Rules of Procedure for Supervisory Board's Activities. These Rules enable the establishment of the Board's committees, which may include external associates. No permanent committees have been formed yet. The Supervisory Board will take advantage of this possibility in support of its own work when assessing future individual issues.
The Supervisory Board reports to the shareholders annually by reporting on the review of the annual report. In doing this the Board also evaluates its own work. In appointing members of the Management Board the Supervisory Board followed the principle of continuity and new fresh ideas and in proposing the composition of the Management Board gave its President a key role. In this way a composition of the Management Board and distribution of business areas among its members was formed which ensures that the Company's strategic goals will be achieved. In dealing with the human resources issues all members of the Supervisory Board co-operated, especially the Chairman and Deputy Chairmen. Continuity of the Board's work was possible as the mandates of all its members, representatives of shareholders and employee - elected representatives, were approved for a second term. The Company discloses the Supervisory Board's remuneration in accordance with IFRS. Members of the Supervisory Board and of the Management Board notify the Company of their membership in the supervisory bodies of other companies.
The Supervisory Board is autonomous and independent in its work and acts to the benefit of the Company and respects the rules related to protection of inside information. Conflicts of interest of individual Board Members arising from their membership in the bodies of other companies or performance of duties, which were incompatible with membership in the Supervisory Board, were resolved by the members' resignation from those functions.  |
