Reliable structures

Shareholder and management responsibilities are clearly defined. Reflecting the company's long-term perspective, a shareholder agreement was adopted requiring that a majority of Executive Board members be non-family executives.

Acting as a strategic sounding board, it is composed of non-family experts, as well as members of the shareholder family.
