Robust sustainability governance framework
Sustainability is a key part of Accelleron’s strategy, and as such an elementary responsibility of the Board of Directors. The Nomination and Compensation Committee (NCC) of the BoD is working closely with management to prepare the strategic discussions and decision-taking by the BoD.
Since November 2023, the CEO is supported by a newly created Sustainability Committee, consisting of several senior management members: CEO, CFO, CHRO/CSO, VP Communications, VP Value Chain, General Counsel and VP Strategy & Investor Relations. These functions meet on a regular basis to ensure a swift collaboration and coordination between all departments as well as ensuring an effective communication with the NCC and Board of Directors.
The members of the Executive Committee (EC) are responsible for implementing the sustainability strategy and cascading targets and measures throughout the organization. They assign responsibilities and review progress. The CEO and the EC are further supported by a designated Global Health, Safety and Environment team (HSE) and a Sustainability Manager that reports to the Chief Human Resources and Sustainability Officer (CHRSO), a member of the EC.
