26 REPORT OF THE SUPERVISORY BOARD
Ladies and Gentlemen,
In fiscal year 2015, the Supervisory Board addressed the
situation, development and strategic focus of the Sennheiser
Group on an ongoing and comprehensive basis. In accordance
with our responsibilities, we closely supported management
over the course of the year and offered advice at all times. The
cooperation was marked by transparent and candid dialogue.
Management informed us, on an ongoing and regular basis,
of developments relating to the results of operations, the
risk situation of the group and other relevant issues. The
Supervisory Board has thoroughly examined and approved,
without reservation, the Consolidated Financial Statements and
the Management Report.
The Supervisory Board comprised four members in fiscal year
2015: In addition to myself, these were Prof. Dr. Jörg Sennheiser,
Andreas Dornbracht and Johann Soder.
In fiscal year 2015, the Supervisory Board convened four times
to fulfil its responsibilities. Dr. Andreas Sennheiser, Daniel
Sennheiser, Peter Callan, Peter Claussen, Thomas Weinzierl
and Steffen Heise (since April 1, 2015) were members of the
Executive Management Board in the reporting year.
The Sennheiser Group ended fiscal year 2015 successfully with
another significant increase in turnover. The company was able
to further solidify its market position and underscore its goal of
being one of the world’s leading audio specialists, which in turn
confirms the Sennheiser Group’s strategic focus. In this context,
the progress achieved in becoming a connected company –
a company where employees work in an integrated manner, act
on a connected basis and develop the best solutions for customers
using a global and cross-departmental approach – is worth
pointing out. The Supervisory Board is supporting this process of
transformation and thinks management is on the right track.
