Organisational structure

The Supervisory Board (SB) monitors the policy of the Management Board and how Alliander functions as a whole. The SB checks whether the policy is being carried out properly and whether the interests of all stakeholders are taken into account. In addition, the SB advises the Management Board and is formally the employer of the directors.

The Supervisory Board (SB) has five members. They are appointed by the shareholders for four years and can be reappointed once. In special cases, the term can be extended further. The SB works according to a set of rules that explains how it carries out its tasks and handles issues such as conflicts of interest.

There are two permanent committees:

  • Audit Committee: mainly advises on financial matters and risk management.
  • Selection, Appointment, and Remuneration Committee: advises on salaries and appointments.

These committees prepare decisions, but the full Supervisory Board makes the final decisions.
