Our Board Committees

Vestas
Board Meeting
Engage with us on our channels

The purpose of our board committees is to prepare decisions and recommendations for evaluation and approval by the entire Board. The committees are not authorised to make independent decisions; instead they report and make recommendations to the combined Board. 

Election of members

The committees consist of at least three members, who are elected for a one-year term by and among the members of our Board. 

The elections usually take place at the board meeting following the annual general meeting. However, the Board can remove any member of the committees at any time. The majority of the members of the committees shall qualify as independent. 

The Board shall designate one of the members of each committee as Chair.

Report on the committees' work

Annually, we report on each committee's composition and work in the  Corporate Governance Report.
