Supervisory Board
As the company and its domestic affiliates together have more than 2,000 employees, the Supervisory Board is composed pursuant to the German Co-Determination Act (MitBestG) of six members representing the shareholders and six members representing the employees.
The core functions of the Supervisory Board include the appointment and dismissal of Executive Board members, the supervision and consultancy of the Executive Board, the approval of the financial statements as well as the authorization of important operative planning and corporate decisions.
New elections to the Supervisory Board took place in 2004 as the term of office of the Supervisory Board members, being up to five years, expired at the end of the 2004 Annual General Meeting.
