Training activities, no conflicts of interest, meeting attendance

In 2024, the Supervisory Board’s training and development measures focused on introducing the new members and updating the induction documents. The Supervisory Board also received further training on ESG with the support of an external consultant.

There were no conflicts of interest on the Supervisory Board in the 2024 fiscal year.

With the exception of one meeting of the Audit Committee, which Denise Koopmans was unable to attend, all members of the Supervisory Board and the committees took part in all meetings of the Supervisory Board and the committees. The meetings and other resolutions of the Supervisory Board were held partly in person and in part by video conference.

The following table shows the respective attendance at meetings (p = in person, v = via video conference, e = excused).
