Group Management

Auriga has a two-tier management system with a clear division of authority and independence between the Board of Directors and the Executive Board.

The Board of Directors consists of 6 external members elected at the general meeting and 3 employee representatives who together with the Executive Board are responsible for the overall management and commercial development of the Auriga group. The Executive Board as well as Cheminova’s geographic regions and individual subsidiaries globally are assisted by Cheminova’s Top Management.

The 6 external members of the Board of Directors are elected at the general meeting for one year at a time, while the employee representatives are elected by and among the company’s employees for four years at a time.

Under Danish law, employees have the right to elect a number of representatives equivalent to half of the representatives elected by the general meeting at the time when the election of employee representatives is called.

The most recent ordinary election of employee representatives took place in 2011. As a rule, all employees are eligible for election, but this does not apply to members of the Board of Executives and employees whose permanent workplace is outside Denmark. In accordance with the legislation, employee representatives have the same rights, duties and responsibilities as the other members of the Board.
