Board of Directors
The top management body of Helvetia Holding, the Board of Directors, is responsible for the management of the company. It is responsible for the strategic direction of the Group, and appoints and oversees the Executive Management. The Board of Directors currently consists of nine members. In order to benefit from the specific expertise of the individual Board members and ensure that their know-how is brought into the decision-making process, various committees have been set up. In the Strategy and Governance Committee, the Compensation Committee, the Audit Committee and the Investment and Risk Committee, Helvetia has at its disposal four Board committees designed to support effective corporate control and supervision. The shareholders elect the members of the Board of Directors at the Shareholders' Meeting.
Elections
The term of office of the individual Board members is coordinated in such a way as to ensure that approximately one-third of the seats are up for election or re-election every year. The term of office of the individual members is determined on election and may not exceed three years. Re-election is possible.
