With support from the Nominations, Governance and CSR Committee, the Board strives for a balanced composition adapted to the challenges faced by the Group. The Board is thus composed of men and women, all with high level management experience and/ or with expertise in a particular field (such as finance, production and human resources). Moreover, the Board of Directors endeavors to be composed of at least one- third Independent Directors. Since May 2018, the BIC Group has transformed its governance structure by appointing Gonzalve Bich, as Chief Executive Officer and Pierre Vareille as Chairman of the Board of Directors.

The Audit Committee reviews and monitors the relevance of financial information and the reliability of risk management, internal control and Auditors’ appointment process.

The Nomination, Governance and CSR Committee regularly examines the composition and functioning of the Board of Directors, proposes solutions to the Board for the succession planning of the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer and the Corporate Officers. It reviews the report on social, societal and environmental responsibility as well as the actions taken by the Group in this respect and the progress made against the strategy and commitments taken.

The Compensation Committee makes recommendations on the Compensation Policy for the Chairman of the Board and the Corporate Officers (and on all their compensation and/or benefits elements), on attendance fees and on performance metrics, in collaboration with the Audit Committee.
