Sustainability and Corporate Governance Committee
In order to avoid any conflict of interest between members of the Board of Directors and the Eurofins Group, and more particularly in the context of sites rented from related parties, Eurofins has put in place a Corporate Governance Committee whose mission includes overseeing any related party transaction and controlling the processes ensuring that decision making is at arm’s-length.
On 22 July 2021, the Board of Directors decided to expand the scope and duties of the Corporate Governance Committee to include environmental and social matters relevant to the Group and its stakeholders. The Committee was renamed as the Sustainability and Corporate Governance Committee.
Among other duties, the Committee will assess the adequacy and efficacy of the Group’s corporate sustainability strategy and related ESG performance indicators and their implementation, including the Group’s policies and recommendations regarding the environmental impact of its business activities and prevention of climate risk and as part of health and safety oversight, will review safety policies and HSE accreditations as well as incident reporting at Committee meetings.
