Tasked with the management of the company, the executive board is accountable for developing, driving, executing and achieving the approved Group strategy and strategic targets. The executive board is also responsible for the associated risk profile, sound business and financial controls, development of results and dealing with corporate responsibility issues, while simultaneously respecting policies that have been set. The responsibility for the management is vested collectively in the executive board.

Since 2005, new board members have been appointed for a maximum term of four years. The division of tasks between the board members requires the approval of the supervisory board. Any board position at another company requires the prior approval of the supervisory board. In any event, a member of the executive board may not be a member of the supervisory board of more than two listed companies or serve as chairman of the supervisory board of another listed company.
