Organization of the Board of Directors

The organization of the Board of Directors is governed by the Organizational Regulations of December 12, 2017. The Board of Directors is responsible for the ultimate management of Aquila AG. It consists of three or more members. The Board of Directors as a whole is independent and meets as often as business requires, but at least four times a year. In principle, it constitutes a quorum if the majority of its members are present. The Board of Directors passes its resolutions by a majority of the votes of the members present.

At the meetings of the Board of Directors, the members of the Executive Board are represented in an advisory capacity for specific agenda items. The Chairman of the Board of Directors chairs the meetings of the Board of Directors, presides over the entire Board and represents the Board of Directors both internally and externally. There is a regular exchange between the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the CEO. Aquila AG has an Audit & Risk Committee, which is composed of members of the Board of Directors, currently Wanda Eriksen, Peter Gisi and Ralf Naef.
