Corporate Governance

Wereldhave Belgium attaches great importance to achieving a balance between the interests of the providers of risk-bearing capital and those of other stakeholders in the company. Matters such as transparency, the adequate provision of forward-looking information and business ethics form a part of this philosophy. The company’s business ethics are embedded in the Corporate Governance Charter of Wereldhave Belgium and in its annexes.

Wereldhave Belgium seeks to fully apply the Belgian Corporate Governance Code 2009. The code can be found, free of charge, on the website of the Corporate Governance Committee.
