The Supervisory Board's competencies
Annual evaluation
Tryg's Supervisory Board looks for well-balanced diversion of the member’s competencies and carries out an annual evaluation of the board’s work and the board member’s skills to assess whether the Supervisory Board has the required skills, or whether the expertise of its members need to be updated in some respect.
