Corporate Assembly

The Corporate Assembly, which is a distinctly Norwegian body, is primarily a supervisory body which supervises the Board’s management of company business.

The Corporate Assembly also has decision making powers in limited, but important areas. One important task for the Corporate Assembly is the election of members to the Board. The Corporate Assembly has a total of 15 members who are appointed for a period of two years. The shareholders elect ten of these members, with alternates, and five are selected from and by the employees.
