Corporate Governance

At Wereldhave Belgium, we aim to balance the interests of providers of risk-bearing capital with those of other stakeholders in the company. Matters such as transparency, the adequate provision of forward-looking information and business ethics form part of this philosophy. The company’s business ethics are embedded in the Corporate Governance Charter of Wereldhave Belgium.

Wereldhave Belgium adheres to the principles of the 2020 Belgian Corporate Governance Code and aims to apply them consistently and in full. The Code is available free of charge on the website of the Corporate Governance Committee: www.corporategovernancecommittee.be.

Complaints relating to financial reporting, internal risk management, control systems, or auditing should be submitted to the Company Secretary. The Company Secretary will register all complaints and notify the Board of Directors of the operating company.

Upon receipt of a complaint, the Company Secretary will confirm its receipt to the complainant and indicate the expected timeframe for a decision. The Board of Directors of the operating company will inform the complainant of its decision within twelve weeks from the date the complaint was received.
