Supervisory Board structure and role

Supervisory Board structure and role

The Supervisory Board is responsible for supervising the Management Board, and the general course of affairs in the company and in FMO's business. All members are available to the Management Board for strategic advice and are able to provide advice on specific issues, with two dedicated committees, one on audit and risk management, and, the other on selection, appointment and remuneration. 

Supervisory Board members are appointed by the AGM. The Supervisory Board currently comprises seven members, with very specific expertise in areas relevant to FMO's activities. As mentioned above, after the retirement of Willy Angenent, the Supervisory Board will consist of six members again.

The introduction program for new members includes meetings with the Management Board and Works' Council. New members gain further insight into FMO's working processes and target markets through discussions with investment officers and social and environmental specialists.

Jean Frijns was appointed to the Supervisory Board in May 2010. Willy Angenent was reappointed after his second four-year term expired in the same month. In last year's Annual Report it was already mentioned that it was not his intention to serve the full four years and he will retire directly after the 2011 AGM.  Rein Willems was reappointed last year for a second four-year term.
