Declerck (Founder & Honorary Chairman) and sons Gregory De Clerck, Anthony De Clerck and Jan l. De Clerck, (in their capacity of representatives of affiliated companies), alongside a group of highly experienced and independent directors, who have been selected on the basis of their specific knowledge and experience to come to a complementary and balanced composition. A Sustainability Committee has been set up which reviews annually the economic, environmental and social risks that may potentially impact DOMO. The Board has delegated the daily management of our sustainability agenda to the Executive Committee (ExCom). |
| GRI 2-10 | Nomination and selection of the highest governance body | The members of the Board of Directors are appointed by the Shareholders’ meeting for a period of in principle four years. Members can be reappointed after the termination of their term. However, a reappointment is by no means automatic. Before nominating the member for reappointment, the results of the internal evaluations, any new needs of the company considering its current composition (the competences already present) and the strategy may be taken in to consideration. The Board of Directors must include at least two independent members, in addition to members of the family Jan Declerck. Independent members are defined as members that do not belong to the management or to the family Jan Declerck. A rotation system is pursued to appoint new independent members regularly. | |
| GRI 2-11 | Chair of the highest governance body | Our Governance (p. 50-56) | |
| GRI 2-18 | Evaluation of the performance of the highest governance body | The Board of Directors regularly evaluates its performance, workings and composition and the performance of its members. Evaluation criteria for the Board’s workings and members’ contributions include amongst others attendance at meetings, contribution to discussions and decision-making, contribution to group dynamics, displaying a thorough preparation, bringing in a specific useful competence or experience, active co-operation in one or more committees, improvement of DOMO's external reputation and control of the management team’s activities and reports. The Board of Directors’ general workings are evaluated every two years and individual members are evaluated on occasion of a reappointment proposal (as the case may be) and at least every three years. If this evaluation shows that the composition and/or workings of the Board of Directors, as well as the individual contribution of certain members, would no longer be sufficient for the most effective realization of DOMO's objectives, it is the responsibility of the Chairman of the Board of Directors to take the necessary adjustment measures. | |
