Supervisory Board

The Supervisory Board supervises the policies of the Management Board and the general conduct of business within Alliander and its associated companies. In addition, the Supervisory Board assists the Management Board with advice. The performance of the tasks is the collective responsibility of the Supervisory Board.

In fulfilling its tasks the Supervisory Board aims to serve the interests of Alliander and its associated enterprises, whilst weighing up the relevant interests of all stakeholders. The Supervisory Board also takes into account all social aspects of entrepreneurship relevant to Alliander.

Appointment

The members of the Supervisory Board are appointed by the General Meeting, upon the nomination of the Supervisory Board. Both the General Meeting of Shareholders and the Central Works Council have a reinforced right of recommendation for a third of the Supervisory Board members. In addition, the right of recommendation can be exercised by the Committee of Shareholders, instead of by the General Meeting of Shareholders. This is what happens in practice at Alliander.

Committees

The duties of these committees are to provide the Supervisory Board with support and advice and to prepare the decision-making. Reports on the committee meetings are presented to the meeting of the full Supervisory Board and serve as the basis for the decision-making. The committees each have their own internal By-laws, setting out their duties, responsibilities and procedures.
