3.1.1.2 Composition and functioning of governing bodies
COMPOSITION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND RULES GOVERNING MEMBERSHIP
Composition
The appointments and roles of the directors, Chairman and Chief Executive Offi cer and Executive Vice Presidents are described in section 3.1.1.5.
The composition of the Board of Directors is illustrated in the following table. With the exception of the appointment of Didier Crespel
as lead director (details of this role are presented on page 26 of this Registration Document and set out in the AFEP-MEDEF Code),
there were no other changes during the year to the composition of the Board of Directors.
At May 12, 2016, the Board of Directors, the composition of which
has changed considerably since 2012 – notably with the aim of
strengthening the diversity and complementarity of the skills
required and increasing the percentage of women and independent
directors – is composed of nine directors including four independent
directors, three of whom are female (two with dual French-
Canadian citizenship) and one lead director chosen from among
the independent directors.
Currently 33.33% of Board members are women and 44.44% are
independent directors.
The Company strives to keep its Board of Directors open to
independent directors while ensuring that both men and women
are equally represented therein, and as such will submit for approval
at the next General Meeting the appointment of at least one new
independent female director.
