At the side of the President and CEO is the Executive Board, which jointly decides on issues in its area of competency that are of a long-term, strategic nature. These include the development of the company, marketing, pricing policy, capital expenditures and financing. The Executive Board also prepares such issues that shall be decided by the Board of Directors.

The heads of corporate functions are responsible for ensuring that the appropriate actions are taken in their respective fields of responsibility based on the strategies that have been decided. Each corporate function reports to one of the members of the Executive Board.

A more detailed description of the organisational structure can be found in the Corporate Governance Report in the Annual Report.
