Management and supervision
Our organization is spearheaded by a team of dedicated, committed, and passionate people. Together, they make sure ASM is ever developing. We have a two-tier board structure, with two Management Board members and six Supervisory Board members. In 2022, we set up an Executive Committee to help the Management Board drive and execute ASM's strategy.
Management Board
The Management Board manages and is responsible for defining and executing the strategy, including the sustainable long-term value creation, the risk management framework, management of the operational, organizational and financial objectives, and the sustainability/ESG aspects relevant to ASM. When executing its tasks, it takes into account the interests of ASM’s stakeholders.
The Management Board has its own rules and is also subject to the Articles of Association. ASM’s Management Board has divided the roles in line with the Articles of Association and approval from the Supervisory Board. The Executive Committee assists the Management Board in managing ASM.
