Governance
SYNATOM’s corporate governance is based on three pillars: the Corporate Governance Code 2020, the Belgian Code of Companies and Associations, and the company’s articles of association.
It is also in line with the act of 12 July 2022, which stipulates that the Board of Directors must include three independent Directors, including the Chair.
The position of Chair of SYNATOM is therefore entrusted to Ms. Cécile Flandre, an independent Director, at the Extraordinary General Meeting of 30 January 2023, during which SYNATOM adapted its status to the aforementioned act.
Mr. Jan Longeval and Mr. Maximilien de Limburg Stirum had already joined the Board of Directors as Independent Directors in 2021.
The Board of Directors of SYNATOM consists of eight board members and two federal government representatives.
