Executive Board
Our Executive Board
The Executive Board oversees the overall management of TKH, developing and implementing a strategy of sustainable long-term value creation. Responsible for meeting predefined objectives, improving performance, company financing, and corporate social responsibility, the Executive Board works closely with – and is accountable to – the Supervisory Board.
The Executive Board is responsible for ensuring that TKH remains compliant with all relevant legislation as well as managing relevant and material risks. This involves surveying and analyzing the risks related to strategy and operational activities; establishing the risk appetite; and defining appropriate counter measures.
The Executive Board has regulations that describe its tasks and its relationship with the Supervisory Board, the shareholders and holders of depositary receipts of shares, the General Meeting of Shareholders and the employee representation body. It also contains rules relating to conflicts of interest in relation to the company. For practical reasons, the Executive Board has created an internal division of duties, which indicates the responsibilities of individual members for specific functional and business areas.
