SURTECO SE has a dual management system which has separate officers for the management and monitoring bodies.
The Board of Management and the Supervisory Board of SURTECO SE work closely together to promote the well-being of the company. The Board of Management agrees the strategic direction with the Supervisory Board and discusses the status of strategy implementation with the Supervisory Board at regular intervals.
Ensuring that the Supervisory Board is provided with adequate information is a joint function of the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board. The Board of Management provides the Supervisory Board with regular, timely and comprehensive reports on all the issues of planning, business development, the risk position, risk management and compliance relevant to the company. The Board of Management addresses all deviations in the current business situation from the plans and goals that have been prepared and provides reasons for such deviations.
The Board of Management and the Supervisory Board observe the rules of proper corporate management. If they culpably breach the duty of care incumbent on a prudent and conscientious Board of Management or Supervisory Board, they shall be liable in respect of the company for compensation for damages. When entrepreneurial decisions are made, there shall be no breach of the duty of care if the Member of the Board of Management or Supervisory Board was entitled to reasonably assume on the basis of appropriate information that he or she was acting in the interests of the company (business judgement rule).
The Annual Report by the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board on corporate governance also provides details of deviations from the recommendations of the code. Declarations of Compliance on the code that are no longer current are kept accessible on the Internet site of SURTECO SE for five years.
