INCLUSIVE AND DIVERSE BOARD

We aim to be a company where everyone feels welcome and included. Strengthening diversity within our senior management and Supervisory Board remains an important priority and contributes to better decision-making and long-term success.

Improving diversity within the Supervisory Board is an important focus. This requires active leadership and commitment, with both the Supervisory Board and senior management playing an important role in setting direction and driving progress.

In line with the target set in 2022, our ambition was to achieve at least 20% female representation on the Supervisory Board by 2025. While diversity goes beyond gender, this objective, aligned with guidance from the Social and Economic Council of the Netherlands (SER), represents an important step in strengthening balance and representation at this level.

In 2025, following a vacancy that arose in 2024, we appointed a new member to the Supervisory Board. This position was filled by a female candidate, marking an important step in improving diversity within the board. As a result, the Supervisory Board now consists of five members, including one woman, meaning that our 2025 target has been achieved.

We will continue to build on this progress by maintaining focus on inclusive selection processes, addressing potential biases, and ensuring that future appointments contribute to a balanced and diverse composition of the board.
