Corporate governance statement CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AT AQUAFIN
A
quafin’s Corporate Governance Charter defines the rules and principles based on which corporate governance is organised within the company. In line with the Belgian Corporate Governance Code originally published in 2004, the Board of Directors approved the first charter on 26 January 2006. Following the publication of the Belgian Corporate Governance Code in 2009 and general developments in the area of corporate governance, the charter has since been reviewed several times and adapted in line with the changes occurring, where necessary. By resolution of the Extraordinary General Meeting of 8 December 2020, the company’s articles of association were brought into line with the requirements of the new Companies and Associations Code. The new Belgian Corporate Governance Code also came into force in 2020. The Board of Directors has revised the charter to bring it into line with the Belgian Corporate Governance Code 2020 and the new Companies and Associations Code. The Board of Directors approved this new charter on 22 January 2021. The latest version of the charter is available at www.aquafin.be/en/corporate-governance-statement. The latest composition of the Board of Directors can also be found on the website.
