Diversity and inclusion

FMO promotes diversity at all levels, including the Management Board and Supervisory Board. FMO’s Diversity Policy is embedded in several documents and ways of working. The aim of our Diversity Policy is to have well-balanced boards, with the relevant expertise and the ability to reach well-reasoned solutions while considering the members’ different perspectives, backgrounds and experiences.

The Supervisory Board aims for a diverse composition with respect to gender, education, experience, and age, as well as relevant knowledge, expertise, and experience in the business areas in which FMO is active. Similar diversity aspects apply to the composition of the Management Board. This is deemed important to ensure effective supervision and management respectively and, by extension, long-term value creation. FMO strives to meet its gender target as outlined in FMO’s Diversity Policy, and included in the Supervisory Board Profile and the Standing Rules of the Management Board, and also in line with the Act on Gender Balance in Management and Supervisory Boards (In Dutch: Wet evenwichtiger verhouding tussen mannen en vrouwen in bestuur en raad van commissarissen).

For both Boards, the target is for the members to consist of at least one third men and at least one third women. On April 23, 2025, during the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (AGM), Rob Becker was appointed as member and Chair of the Supervisory Board. At year-end, the Supervisory Board consisted of three women (50 percent) and three men (50 percent). Two of the Supervisory Board members hold nationalities other than Dutch: Dugald Agble holds Ghanaian and British nationality and Eme Essien Lore holds US nationality.

For the Management Board, at year end, members consisted of one woman (33.33 percent) and two men (66.67 percent). All three members have Dutch nationality. During the search for suitable candidates for the CFOO and Co-CIO roles, consideration is given to ultimately achieving a Management Board with diverse nationalities. 

The ages of the members are well distributed, and knowledge and experience comply with the applicable matrices.
