Corporate Governance

Here you will find the rules and principles that determine the governance and running of the company, according to the “Code des Sociétés” and the statutes implemented on the 24th of May 2006. The company’s charter of governance was adopted in conformity with recommendations in the “Code Belge pour la Gouvernance d’Entreprise”, published 9 December 2004 by the Belgian Commission for Corporate Governance (the “Code”). Corporate governance is defined therein as a set of regulations and rules of conduct according to which companies are managed and controlled.

The Code is based on the system known as “conform or explain” : quoted Belgian companies are bound to respect the principles of the Code, although they may deviate from its provisions and lines of conduct so long as they can provide adequate justification for doing so. After presenting an offer, the company undertakes to adopt and respect the recommendations contained in the Code. To this end, the company will adopt a charter of governance that will be adapted to the specificities of the company, based on the “conform or explain” system as prescribed in the Code.
