Policy concerning the diversity of the Board of Directors and Supervisory Board

Apetit Plc has drawn up a policy concerning the diversity of the Board of Directors and Supervisory Board. The Diversity Policy should be taken into account when appointing members to the company’s Board of Directors and Supervisory Board.

The diversity of the Board of Directors and Supervisory Board supports the company’s business and its development. The diversity of competence, experience and views of the members of the Board of Directors and Supervisory Board promotes the ability to be open to innovative ideas and to support and challenge the company’s acting management. Sufficient diversity supports open discussion and independent decision-making. Diversity also promotes good corporate governance and effective management supervision as well as successor planning.

In the election of the members of the Board of Directors and the Supervisory Board, the aim is to appoint the members on the basis of their qualifications, taking into account the principles of diversity. The company has identified competence related to the company’s operational environment, markets and industry as essential for diversity. Both genders must be represented, and the company’s objective is to strive for a good and balanced gender distribution in its governing bodies. The Supervisory Board and the Board of Directors are elected by the Annual General Meeting.
