Corporate Governance

Grontmij N.V. is committed to sound corporate governance. It adheres with few deviations to the Dutch Corporate Governance Code (the Code). In 2007, the corporate governance structure was adjusted to reflect the increasing internationalisation of the organisation. Grontmij has taken note of the revised Dutch corporate governance code published by the Corporate Governance Code Monitoring Committee in December 2008. These revisions have been noted and, where appropriate, applied by Grontmij.

Governance structure
Grontmij’s governance is structured effectively. Supported by our core values and Code of Conduct, this structure facilitates transparent reporting throughout the Group to both the Supervisory Board and the Executive Board. In turn, both Supervisory Board and Executive Board report to the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (AGM). The AGM, Supervisory Board and Executive Board each have specific powers and responsibilities; these are described comprehensively in the Articles of Association and separate charters that can be downloaded (see right hand side).
