The committee that monitors the Dutch Corporate Governance Code
has published its annual report on compliance. As in previous
years, the committee concludes that compliance with the Code is
satisfactory. But the committee does raise a number of areas for
attention: executive directors should improve long-term risk
management and corporate responsibility with the support and
monitoring of their non-executive directors. Shareholders should
provide room for this and participate in the discussion. And
according to the Committee, updating the Code – the last
revision was in 2008 - may contribute to the improvement of
corporate management (in Dutch only).
A translation in English of the monitoring report will soon be
available.
