Board of Directors

The Board of Directors is a collegial body that has the powers to take any decisions and perform any measures that are necessary or useful for the achievement of the Luxempart’s corporate purpose, except for the powers exclusively reserved for the General Meeting of Shareholders by law or the Articles of Association.

The Board of Directors ensures the long-term development of Luxempart and of its business activities in the interests of all the shareholders, while taking into account the interests of other stakeholders, such as the creditors, employees, and generally speaking the community in which the Company operates.

The Board of Directors is first and foremost responsible for the strategic management of the Company and for monitoring the conduct of its business affairs, the shaping of values, objectives and key policies to be complied with.
