The Board of Directors (BoD) is responsible for strategy and organizational development and exercises supervision and control over the management (GL). It determines business policy and strategy. It defines the business principles and is regularly informed about the course of business of the company. The Board of Directors is authorized to pass resolutions on all matters that are not reserved for the General Meeting of Shareholders or that fall under the remit of another body of the company by law, the Articles of Association or other regulations.

The members of the Board of Directors are elected by the General Meeting of Shareholders for a term of one year. The Board of Directors is self-constituting.

The committee meetings have been integrated with in the regular BoD meetings, due to the small size of the BoD no separate committee meetings are taking place.
