Supervisory Board
At the end of the 2025 financial year, the Supervisory Board consisted of a total of 15 members, ten of whom were shareholder representatives elected by the Annual General Meeting and five of whom were employee representatives delegated by the Works Council. According to the Articles of Association, the mandate of at least two members of the Supervisory Board expires each year at the end of the Annual General Meeting. The resulting staggered term of office of the shareholder representatives on the Supervisory Board enables a continuous exchange and adaptation of the Supervisory Board to possible changes in conditions through regular elections and ensures increased accountability. As shown in the tables below, there have been several changes in the Supervisory Board throughout the financial year 2025.
