Corporate governance
The Belgian Code on Corporate Governance (the
‘Code’), which came into effect on 1 January 2005, seeks to ensure
transparency in corporate governance by requiring every listed company
to disclose information in two separate documents: the Corporate Governance
Charter and the Corporate Governance Chapter of the annual report.
Corporate governance charter
The Charter sets out the main aspects of a company’s corporate
governance, such as its governance structure, the internal regulations
of the Board of Directors, its committees, and the Executive Committee,
together with other important topics. KBC Group NV publishes its Charter
on www.kbc.com. For the most recent version of the Corporate Governance Charter, click here.
Corporate governance chapter in the annual report
The Chapter in the annual report contains more factual
information regarding the company’s corporate governance, including
any changes to it and any relevant events that took place during the
year under review. It also provides reasons for any non-compliance
with the Code. For the most recent version of the Corporate Governance chapter in the annual report, click here.
