Meetings of the Supervisory Board

All meetings of the Supervisory Board are held jointly with the Executive Board. Every meeting in 2017 (six in total) was preceded by an internal meeting in which only Supervisory Board members participated. One internal meeting focused on an appraisal and evaluation of the members of the Executive Board and a discussion about an external evaluation report concerning the functioning of the Supervisory Board and its members.

A Supervisory Board branch visit was organised by Triodos Bank’s UK branch during the year. Presentations and discussions were held with senior management of the UK branch, developing and deepening insights into Triodos Bank’s UK activities. Furthermore, two or more Supervisory Board members visited the local Depository Receipt Holder meetings in the UK, Spain, Germany, Belgium and The Netherlands.

The Chair of the Supervisory Board and the Chief Executive Officer maintained frequent contacts throughout the year; the Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee was in regular and close contact with the Chief Financial Officer, as was the Chair of the Nomination and Compensation Committee with the Chief Executive Officer.
