Role

Composition at 31/12/2020

The Supervisory Board exercises ongoing control over the Company’s management. For this purpose, it has the same powers as the Statutory Auditors and receives the same documents as they do, at the same time. In addition, the Executive Management must submit a detailed report to the Supervisory Board on the Company’s operations at least once a year. The Supervisory Board submits to the Active Partner its reasoned opinion: on the nomination and dismissal of any Executive Chairman of s the Company; and in the case of the Executive Chairman’s resignation, on reducing s the notice period. The Supervisory Board: determines the allocation of net income to be put to the General s Meeting each financial year; approves or rejects any proposed new wording of certain s clauses of the Articles of Association of Émile Hermès SARL. The Active Partner must consult the Supervisory Board prior to making any decisions on the following: strategic options; s consolidated operating and investment budgets; and s proposals to the General Meeting pertaining to the s appropriation of share premiums, reserves or retained earnings. Every year the Supervisory Board presents a report to the Annual Ordinary General Meeting (see in chapter 8 “Combined General Meeting of 4 May 2021”, § 8.3) in which it comments on the Company’s management and draws attention to any inconsistencies or inaccuracies identified in the financial statements for the financial year. The functions exercised by the Supervisory Board do not entail any interference with the Executive Management, or any liability arising from the management’s actions or from the results of such actions. The Afep-Medef Code qualifies the Chairman and the members of the Supervisory Board as “non-Executive Corporate Officers”.
