Our operating principle
The Corporate Governance department is responsible for implementing the legal and practical framework for managing and monitoring the company for the benefit of all relevant stakeholder groups. Corporate governance is all about adhering to laws and regulatory requirements, implementing management and control structures and managing the company in a responsible, qualified and transparent manner.
Declaration of Conformity with the German Corporate Governance Code (GCGC)
The code provides recommendations and suggestions for the management and monitoring of listed German companies. It is based on internationally and nationally accepted standards of good and responsible corporate governance. The code contains recommendations and suggestions on corporate governance with regard to shareholders and annual general meetings, as well as management and supervisory boards, transparency, accounting and auditing.
Please note: Compliance with the code’s recommendations or suggestions is not mandatory. The German Stock Corporation Act (AktG) merely requires the management and supervisory boards of a listed company to declare annually that the recommendations of the code have been and will be complied with, or which recommendations have not been applied or are not being applied and why.
