The Group Executive Committee is advisory, recommendatory and executive, to the extent that it is given specific executive powers by the Board of Directors. It processes and defines strategic issues in all of the Group’s business areas and the Group’s subsidiaries domestically and abroad.
Senior executive meetings define sustainable development issues and agree on the hierarchy of objectives, subsequent activities and reporting of results. Sustainability represents a percentage of executives and employees’ daily activities; for example, it is used as a parameter in regular working discussions and performance assessments, thereby making its implementation a shared responsibility across all levels of the Group’s hierarchy.
The submission of sustainable development issues to the Board of Directors takes place when the relevant memorandum drafted by the relevant General Division Manager is submitted to the Chairman of the Board and CEO or Deputy CEO, as is deemed appropriate, so that such issues can be proposed accordingly to the Board of Directors. If the matter falls within the competence of one of the BoD Committees, it is examined by the Committees, which make the relevant suggestion to the Board of Directors.
