Supervisory Board and Managing Board Royal DSM
Managing Board
The Managing Board is ultimately responsible for our company's strategy, its portfolio management, the deployment of human capital and financial capital resources, the company's risk management system, its financial performance, and its performance in the area of sustainability. The Managing Board is thus also accountable to the Supervisory Board for our company's strategy and management. The full Managing Board attends the Supervisory Board meetings. Other Executive Committee members attend those Supervisory Board meetings, or parts of them, that are specifically relevant to their area of responsibility.

Executive Committee
The Executive Committee comprises the Managing Board members as well as four senior managers. The latter four managers are appointed by the Chairman of the Managing Board after consultation with the Supervisory Board. The Executive Committee focuses on topics such as our company's overall strategy and direction, review of business results, functional and regional strategies, budget-setting, and people and organization. The statutory responsibilities of the Managing Board remain unchanged.
