Board of Directors

Société Générale’s Board of Directors set up three Committees in September 1995, namely the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nomination Committee. In early 2000, the Board adopted internal rules that incorporate the key recommendations on corporate governance. A Director’s Charter (see below) lays out the compliance rules applicable to the Directors of Société Générale.

Board Committees

The Board's internal rules stipulate that preparatory work for its decisions in certain areas must be carried by specialized committees composed of directors appointed by the Board; these committees examine matters within their remit and submit their opinions and proposals to the Board for approval. Three committees have been created : the Audit committee, the Compensation committee and the Nomination Committee.
