Sef Assessment

In line with Recommendation 22 of the Code, the Board of Directors carries out an annual self-assessment of the size, composition and functioning of the Board itself and its committees, with the support of an independent external advisor who is an expert in governance issues and advising management bodies, also taking into account the role the Board has played in defining strategies and monitoring management performance and the effectiveness of the internal audit and risk management system, as set out in Recommendation 21 of the Code.

This assessment was carried out in 2024 with the support of Management Search Srl, a special-purpose consulting firm; Last assessment was presented and discussed during the meeting of the Board of Directors on 26 March 2024 and was based on the following criteria:

• interviews with the members and chairman of the Board of Statutory Auditors
• analyses of international best practices
• examination of the corporate documentation.

The findings that emerged highlighted a highly positive picture of the functioning and composition of the Board of Directors and the Company’s Committees.

This was confirmed by the high level of consensus (mostly above 90%) expressed by the directors on various macro-areas of interest (composition and diversity of the administrative body, organisation and decision-making processes, flow of information and training, internal climate and team spirit, vision and strategic support to top management, functioning of the Committees) and by the absence of topics with low consensus levels.
