Meetings and self-assessment

The Supervisory Board held seven meetings in 2025 of which four were face-to-face meetings. The Supervisory Board has conducted a self-evaluation facilitated by an external consultant. This was extremely valuable, and we discussed the findings with the Board of Directors, which helped to further strengthen the collaboration.

The Supervisory Board has two committees: the Audit and Risk Committee (ARC) and the Selection and Remuneration Committee (also known as REMCO).

ARC meetings are held in the presence of the CVO and the Director Risk & Compliance. In 2025, the ARC met three times. Regular financial and operational topics were discussed, such as the process regarding the annual figures, audits and the budget. Specific attention was paid to IT, data and cyber security, transfer pricing and risk management within Vebego. 

The REMCO prepares the remuneration and appointment of BoD and SB members, after which decisions are taken by the StAK or the SB. In 2025, the REMCO was involved in the selection of the new CVO. Furthermore, in every meeting the committee dedicated time to the development and succession planning for the Vebego leadership community (the company and group directors) and the performance on the STI and LTI targets. All Supervisory Board members were involved in conducting performance interviews with the Board of Directors. In 2025, the committee held four regular meetings.
