Our Executive Committee
Haffner Energy is managed by a six-member Executive Committee. Its role is to define the company’s major strategic directions and their impact on financial and management balances.
Our Board
Haffner Energy’s Board is comprised of six directors, two of whom are independent.
To carry out its mission, the Board relies on two specialized committees: the Audit Committee and the Ethics and Strategy Committee.
The Audit Committee
The Audit Committee is a specialized committee of the Board, whose principal missions are to monitor the process of preparing financial information, in particular to ensure that internal control and risk management procedures are implemented within the Company and any of its subsidiaries, to monitor the statutory audit of the parent company and consolidated financial statements by the Group’s statutory auditors, and to monitor the rules governing the independence and objectivity of the statutory auditors.
The Ethics and Strategy Committee
The Ethics and Strategy Committee assists the Board of Directors in all decisions concerning the composition of the governing bodies of the Company and its subsidiaries. It makes proposals to the Board of Directors on how to allocate the total annual compensation among the various members of the Board of Directors, as well as on the amount and terms of compensation allocated to each of the corporate officers. It may also make recommendations to the Board of Directors on the distribution of value between employees and shareholders and may share its recommendations with the Board of Directors on the balance between the levels of compensation for all employees, the compensation for shareholder risk-taking, and the investments necessary to ensure the sustainability of the company.
More broadly, this Committee issues recommendations and opinions to the Board of Directors on issues related to the company’s strategy, as well as on social, societal, and environmental issues affecting the company. As such, it may be consulted by the Chairman of the Board of Directors on all major projects related to the Company’s development and strategic positioning, in particular on projects in France and abroad, major partnerships or investments, internal restructuring, and significant acquisitions and disposals, and may make recommendations to the Board of Directors on these matters.
