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.
Up-to-date knowledge and diversity
New board members are given an introduction to Tryg and the board members are offered skills upgrading courses as well. The board also seeks a well-balanced diversion of age and gender in the composition of its members.
