[H2] Group Structure

As a non-listed, family-owned, but economically significant company, Bühler has decided to pay special attention to the design of its corporate governance. As a consequence, Bühler’s corporate governance goes far beyond the statutory requirements of Swiss corporate law and incorporates, to a great extent, the recommendations contained in the Swiss Code of Best Practice for Corporate Governance issued by economiesuisse. Bühler’s Articles of Incorporation set the material parameters of the corporate governance system.
The Articles of Incorporation are complemented by Bühler’s Organizational Regulations, which further specify the responsibilities, competencies, and regulations of the governing bodies of the company. Unless prescribed by law or the Articles of Incorporation, the management is delegated by the Board of Directors, with the power to subdelegate to the Chief Executive Officer, the Executive Board, and its members. Separate charters specify the organization of the Nomination and Compensation Committee and the Audit Committee. The Board of Directors has also issued a regulation governing the cooperation between the Board of Directors, the CEO/Executive Board, and the Urs Bühler Innovation Fund.

[H2] Governance

Bühler’s Articles of Incorporation provide for a certain restriction of the permitted external activities of the Members of the Board of Directors. Members of the Board of Directors may not hold more than four additional mandates in listed companies, eight additional mandates against remuneration in unlisted companies, and eight unpaid additional mandates. Not included in these limitations are mandates in companies affiliated with Bühler, corporate mandates of Bühler, and mandates in associations, foundations, employee welfare foundations, charitable organizations, and other comparable structures. However, no Board Member shall hold more than 20 such additional mandates. Mandates refers to mandates in the supreme governing body of a legal entity registered in the commercial register in Switzerland or elsewhere. Members of the Executive Board are limited to two mandates at public companies or other legal entities against remuneration and four unpaid mandates.

Bühler’s Articles of Incorporation provide for the annual election by the General Assembly of all Board Members, its Chairman, and the Members of its Nomination and Compensation Committee. Term of office shall be one year, starting with the General Assembly at which each individual member is elected and ending with the following General Assembly. The Members of the Audit Committee are elected annually by the Board of Directors. Board Members will not be re-elected once they pass their 70th birthday or have been on the Board for 12 years.

For the year of first election to the Board of Directors, please refer to the individual curriculum vitae of each Board Member. At the General Assembly, the Board of Directors gives account to the shareholders on the attendance of Board and Committee meetings by each individual Board Member.

The Audit Committee shall monitor the integrity of the financial statements of the Company, including its Annual Report. It promotes effective communication between the management, and internal and external audits. The Audit Committee regularly reviews the functionality and effectiveness of the internal control system. It supports the Board of Directors in corporate governance issues.

The Nomination and Compensation Committee is responsible for evaluating the balance of skills, knowledge, experience, and diversity of the Board, periodically reviewing the Board’s structure, and identifying as well as managing the process of potential candidates to be appointed as Directors. Furthermore, the Nomination and Compensation Committee determines and agrees with the Board of Directors on the policy for the compensation of the Members of the Board of Directors and of the Executive Board. It approves the design of and determines targets for any performance-related compensation schemes operated by the Company and approves the total annual payments made under such schemes. Within the agreed policy parameters, the Nomination and Compensation Committee determines the total individual compensation package for each Board of Directors Member and the Executive Board, and prepares the remuneration report.

Board meetings are held as often as matters require or upon the request of a Board Member, but at least four times per year. The agenda of the meeting shall be announced when it is convened, and pertinent information, if needed, shall be sent 10 days before the meeting to each Board Member. On unannounced items the Board can only decide if all Members of the Board are in attendance. Decisions may also be taken by circulation if none of the Board Members request a formal meeting. Meetings of the Board Committees are convened separately from the Board meetings and scheduled as often as business requires. The Board of Directors receives verbal updates after each meeting of its Committees from their Chairperson.

The Board of Directors is responsible for the ultimate direction, strategic supervision, and control of the management of the Company, and for other matters which are, by law, its responsibility. Such inalienable duties include, essentially, (i) the ultimate management of the Company, (ii) the determination of its organization, (iii) the structuring of its accounting system and of the financial controlling, (iv) financial planning, (v) the appointment, removal, and ultimate supervision of persons entrusted with the management and representation of the Company, (vi) the preparation of the business report as well as the General Assembly and the implementation of its resolutions.

The Executive Board is responsible for all areas of strategic and operational management of the Company that are not reserved for the Board of Directors. The Executive Board is chaired by the Chief Executive Officer.

The Advisory Board of the Urs Bühler Innovation Fund supports and advises the Board of Directors in innovation and identifies and executes first moves into future-oriented growth opportunities.

The external auditors are appointed at the General Assembly and present the outcome of the audit to the Audit Committee.

Effective corporate governance is a precondition for Bühler to ensure a long-term and sustainable increase of its corporate value. Bühler bases this both on the Swiss Code of Best Practice for Corporate Governance and the OECD Principles of Corporate Governance. Corporate governance at Bühler is organized with the interests of its stakeholders in mind, including customers, employees, suppliers, and public communities. It also comprises compliance with environmental and social standards as well as an uncompromising commitment to financial integrity. Furthermore, it includes the protection of human rights standards, which are set out in the Group-wide Human Rights Policy.
As an international Swiss company, strict observation of local laws on a global scale and systematic and continuous monitoring of compliance in all markets are indispensable for Bühler. This is the only way to prevent operating risks and an impairment of reputation that might be caused by violation of compliance rules.

The Code of Conduct is part of the so-called Bühler Essentials. It serves all employees as a beacon, showing them how to live the Group’s core corporate values (Trust, Ownership, and Passion) in their day-to-day jobs. It states what is expected of employees and business partners, defines the standards governing compliance with laws and regulations, and includes the fundamentals of communications, employee rights, health and safety, and financial integrity.
Bühler regularly reviews its own principles of corporate governance to ensure that they are up to date. Its Code of Conduct also includes binding standards for its business partners. The Code of Conduct is continuously adjusted to the changing environment. Furthermore, a Supplier Code of Conduct for business partners exists and its roll-out is part of the onboarding process.

The so-called ABC (Anti Bribery & Corruption) rules against bribery and corruption unmistakably state that no violations will be tolerated. They concern, in particular, collaboration with agents. Furthermore, it is mandatory for all employees with access to the learning platform to undergo the state-of-the-art online training program and to pass a final test. Employees without access take part in an offline classroom training. Parti
