3 REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Composition of administrative and management bodies

Executive Management is keen to maintain parity within its governing body and ensures that the composition of the governing bodies of each subsidiary is mixed. The results in terms of gender balance within both the Executive Committee and the Operational Committee (the Operational Committee corresponds to the 10% of positions with the highest responsibility) are detailed in Chapter 4, section 4.2.4.1 “Gender equality at work”. More generally, the Executive Management is committed to promoting increasing diversity and makes numerous efforts to achieve a good gender balance. Under its leadership, the Group’s Human Resources Department thus launched and deployed an active approach to promote gender equality, the results of which are analysed and reviewed annually by the Board of Directors. Each site has a gender equality agreement and a gender equality guide was rolled out during the financial year (see Chapter 4, section 4.2.4.1 “Gender equality at work”). Other rules and characteristics relating to the Board’s composition and Directors Age limit: at least two-thirds of the Board members must be less than seventy (70) years of age. Ownership of Company shares: the Corporate Governance Charter contains a provision on the minimum number of shares to be held by Directors by means of reinvestment of part of the compensation they receive in respect of their office (formerly Directors’ fees). With the exception of Board members who do not personally receive compensation in respect of their role as Directors, and to demonstrate a commitment to the Company, each Director must personally hold at least 300 shares in Compagnie des Alpes. If necessary, the Directors will reinvest part of the compensation linked to their office in the Company, up to a minimum of half of the net amount of said compensation received in respect of a fiscal year, until they reach the aforementioned quota. In the interests of transparency, Directors are also advised to put all of their shares in a registered or administered account, with a minimum of 300 shares.
