Intesa Sanpaolo - Corporate Governance

Corporate Governance

Intesa Sanpaolo has adopted a dual corporate governance system in which control and strategic management functions, exercised by the supervisory board, are separated from the management of the company's business, which is exercised by the management board. The supervisory board is appointed by the shareholders' meeting. It supervises the activities carried out by the management board and, in particular, it approves the main strategic initiatives proposed by the management board. The management board appoints one of their members to be the CEO.

Famous quotes containing the words corporate and/or governance:

    “It’s hard enough to adjust [to the lack of control] in the beginning,” says a corporate vice president and single mother. “But then you realize that everything keeps changing, so you never regain control. I was just learning to take care of the belly-button stump, when it fell off. I had just learned to make formula really efficiently, when Sarah stopped using it.”
    Anne C. Weisberg (20th century)

    He yaf me al the bridel in myn hand,
    To han the governance of hous and land,
    And of his tonge and his hand also;
    Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
