Corporate governance and General Management
The Board of Directors is the highest decision-making body in the Company and its consolidated group and is responsible under the law and the Articles of Association for the management and representation of the Company. The Board of Directors acts mainly as an instrument of supervision and control, and delegates the management of ordinary business matters of the Company to the executive organs and management team.
The Board of Directors is regulated by clear, transparent rules of governance, specifically the Articles of Association and the Board's Rules of Procedure, which conform to corporate governance standards.
The Bank's Articles of Association, the Board's Rules of Procedure and the Annual Report on Corporate Governance can be viewed on the Bank's web site.
