Chimcomplex announces the new structure of the Board of Directors

Chimcomplex announces today the new structure of the Board of Directors that will lead to streamlining and improving the decision-making process within the company and corporate governance.

The members of the Chimcomplex Board of Directors are leaders in different fields, bringing global expertise in the field of chemical industry, commercial, finance and audit strengthening the company. Two of the members are women and three of them are foreign citizens.

Together with Mr. Stefan Vuza, Chairman of the Board of Directors, they will establish the company’s strategy and will supervise its implementation between August 2022 and 2023. At the same time, on August 12, 2022, the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders was convened to approve the appointment of another 2 administrators, the number of administrators increasing from 5 to 7. The company’s objective is to attract more experts needed for good analysis in the decision-making process, knowing that the global market is going through great turbulence.

“The international experience and extensive knowledge about industry and business of the 4 independent members approved today, as well as the 2 who will join us in approximately 2 weeks, are perfectly in line with the priorities of Chimcomplex. I am confident that increasing the number of members from 5 to 7, 6 of whom will be independent will bring a valuable contribution to our board as we grow. It is a premiere in Romania for a majority shareholder to be in the minority (1 out of 7) in the board of his company, thus ensuring transparency of the administration act. Two strong and confident women joined us on the Chimcomplex board, which is another win for the company. I believe that the seniority and enthusiasm of the new experts is an advantage to continue to transform the company, to incorporate sustainability, digitalization and international experience into our processes, investment plan and corporate practices“, said Mr. Ștefan Vuza, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Chimcomplex.
