The Board of Directors is assisted in its work by five specialised committees that provide advice and recommendations for the Board’s discussions. The Strategic Committee - created and headed by Alexandre Ricard since 2015 - reviews key subjects for the Group and issues recommendations on acquisitions, divestitures and partnership projects. It studies all strategic matters of interest to the Group. The Audit Committee reviews the half-year and annual draft financial statements and monitors the Group’s cash flow and debt situation. It also assesses the Group's risk management and internal control systems. The Nominations and Governance Committee proposes new Directors and reviews the composition and operation of the Board, as well as the Group’s performance and talent management policy. The CSR Committee examines and implements the Group’s CSR strategy and assesses the risks and opportunities in terms of social and environmental performance. Lastly, the Compensation Committee defines the remuneration policy for the Group’s Executive Directors, proposes a general long-term remuneration policy and implements an annual plan for the allocation of shares.
