Supervisory Board

The Supervisory Board’s task is to supervise the corporate governance managed by the company’s Board of Directors and President and CEO. The Supervisory Board also carries out its supervisory task by electing the necessary number of its members at a time to familiarise themselves with the company’s investment and pension decision operations. The Supervisory Board also elects the members of the Board of Directors and the Election Committee and decides on the members’ remuneration.

The General Meeting elects the Supervisory Board’s members, whose maximum number is 30. At least a third of the members must be elected from among the persons nominated by the key central organisations representing employees. At least a sixth of the members must be elected from among the persons nominated by the key central organisations representing employers. In its policy concerning the election and diversity of the Supervisory Board, the Supervisory Board has outlined the requirements that the Supervisory Board must meet. The diversity of the Supervisory Board is examined as a whole. The composition of the Supervisory Board must meet regulatory requirements. The objective is to have both genders represented on the Supervisory Board.

The term of office of the Supervisory Board members is three years, and at most a third of the members are due to resign annually.

The Supervisory Board elects a chairperson and two deputy chairpersons from among its members. Either the chairperson or one of the deputy chairpersons shall be a person nominated by representatives of the insured. If the person nominated by the representatives of the insured is not elected as the chairperson, this person shall act as the primary deputy to the chairperson.
