Corporate Governance
In accordance with the original Belgian Code on Corporate Governance published in 2004, the Board of Directors of NV Bekaert SA has adopted the Bekaert Corporate Governance Charter on 16 December 2005. Following the publication of the 2009 Belgian Code on Corporate Governance, the Board of Directors adopted the 2009 Code on 22 December 2009 as the reference code for Bekaert and revised the Bekaert Corporate Governance Charter accordingly.
On 1 January 2020, the 2020 Belgian Code on Corporate Governance entered into force and became applicable to Bekaert. The Board of Directors revised the Bekaert Corporate Governance Charter to bring it in line with the 2020 Code. The new Bekaert Corporate Governance Charter became effective on 13 May 2020.
