Corporate Governance

Below, we have gathered information that provides insight into the frameworks applicable to our management and our business.

Board

Board of Directors

The Board of Directors is responsible for the overall management of KommuneKredit. The Board consists of ten members of whom the municipalities elect six who must be members of a municipal council, the regions elect two who must be members of a regional council and the Board elects two independent members who must have qualifications within accounting, auditing, finance or risk management.

 

On 13 March 2024, the Board elected Mayor  Martin Damm as Chair and Mayor Thomas Lykke Pedersen as Vice-Chair.

The term of office of one of the independent members is staggered over two years compared to the rest of the Board. Therefore, Birgit Aagaard-Svendsen was elected for the period from 1 June 2020 to 31 May 2024.

Transparency

Good Corporate Governance

While KommuneKredit is not directly encompassed by a corporate governance code, we do, where relevant and within the provisions of the Act on KommuneKredit, apply the ‘Corporate governance recom­men­da­tions’ issued by the Danish Committee on Corporate Governance. Based on those recom­men­da­tions, we have published a report on corporate governance.
