Corporate Governance
Corporate Governance
We know that we are judged by our integrity and trustworthiness as much as by our financial performance.
In June 2014, Ontex adopted its Corporate Governance Charter. It was amended in October 2020 to reflect the principles of the 2020 Belgian Corporate Governance Code (the “Code”) and most recently in March 2023 to reflect the dissolution of the Strategy Committee. The Charter is reviewed annually by the Board to ensure that it remains in line with the Code and applicable guidance and best practices.
In May 2025, our shareholders approved the current version of our Remuneration Policy.
