Board of Management

Our Board of Management makes sure AkzoNobel’s strategies, policies and resources are used to meet our business objectives and targets. While striving to achieve these goals, we always put the interests of our stakeholders first.

Under the chairmanship of our CEO, Hans Wijers, the members of the Board of Management share powers and responsibility for managing the company efficiently and effectively. However, the CFO alone is specifically responsible for AkzoNobel’s finances.

Dutch law calls for a two-tier corporate structure. This means the Board of Management is accountable for its performance to a separate and independent Supervisory Board.

The Board of Management is also answerable to the shareholders of the company at the Annual General Meeting
