corporate governance

Good corporate governance, including focus on long-term value creation and culture, is a key component of 'the Aalberts way' of doing business and is embedded in our core values. Aalberts endorses the principles of the Dutch Corporate Governance Code (the “Code”). The Code is available at www.mccg.nl. Our corporate governance structure has been updated in accordance with the Code in the past years.

Aalberts virtually applies all best practice provisions of the Code. To a limited extent, these have been adjusted to specific circumstances of Aalberts. As a result, the Management Board believes it meets the principles of ‘comply or explain’. The deviations from the Code relate to the following subjects.

best practice provision 4.3.3 – binding nomination
The Articles of Association provide that the General Meeting can deprive a nomination for appointment of a Management Board member or a Supervisory Board member of its binding nature, with a resolution passed with a maximum majority permitted by law. Currently, this majority amounts to two-thirds of the votes cast. The deviation relates to the well-balanced allocation of the control and influence of the company’s individual bodies as referred to in the paragraph ‘decision-making and priority shares’.

best practice provision 2.3.10 – company secretary
Aalberts does not have a formal company secretary. This position is adequately fulfilled by the legal and governance function at head office level, in line with the lean and effective organisational structure.

best practice provision 3.4.1 – pay ratio
In the calculation of the pay ratio for 2023, we applied the same calculation method as previous years, meaning we deviate from the explanation on the calculation of the pay ratio as included in the Code. We take the remuneration of both Management Board members into account, instead of only the CEO, and the share-based part of the remuneration relating to the LTI was not included for the Management Board members, nor the employees. The reason is that there was a CEO change in September 2023 and the new CEO has not been granted conditional share awards in 2023. For a fair comparison we applied the method of previous years and envisage to apply the calculation method as prescribed in the explanatory note to provision 3.4.1 sub iv of the Code as from 2024.

committees

There are two committees of the Supervisory Board: the Audit Committee and the Remuneration, Selection and Appointment Committee.
 
Audit Committee

Nomination, Selection and Remuneration Committee
Nomination, Selection and Remuneration Committee (“NSR”) aids and advises the Supervisory Board on matters relating to the selection and appointment of the members of the Management Board and Supervisory Board. The NSR further monitors and evaluates the remuneration policy for the Management Board. The NSR consists of Jan van der Zouw (chairman), Peter van Bommel and Frank Melzer.
