Ongoing education is an important part of good governance. New members of the Supervisory Board attend a full-day induction program at Ahold’s offices in Amsterdam at which they are briefed on their responsibilities as members of the Supervisory Board and briefed by senior management on the financial, social, corporate responsibility, human resources, legal and reporting affairs of the Company and its businesses. Throughout the year, all members of the Supervisory Board visit several operating companies and other parts of the business to gain greater familiarity with senior management, and to develop deeper knowledge of local operations, opportunities and challenges.
