The Board of Directors, assisted by advisory committees, plays a leading role in outlining, monitoring and controlling such structures and rules and in securing the day-to-day operational and financial management of the Group and its entities by the Chief Executive Officer and the Senior Management.

The Board consists of ten directors, out of which four are independent. It is chaired by an independent director. The functions of the Chairman of the Board, of the Executive Chairman of the Board and of the Chief Executive Officer are strictly separated.
