Our sustainability governance & aligning business to ESG Strategy
We established a dedicated Sustainability Committee to facilitate the Company’s strategic direction and provide the Supervisory Board with full oversight on all matters of ESG. The Supervisory Board has set the strategic direction through the Group’s governance structure to ensure that the business has a robust ESG strategy.
