Corporate governance
We apply strict requirements in terms of leadership and transparency. These are the keys to responsible leadership and reliable corporate governance.
Our objective: To promote trust on the part of national and international investors in the ability of our company to sustainably add value. We act based on the principles of the Austrian Corporate Governance Code. These rules for governing and monitoring publicly-listed stock corporations are based on a voluntary commitment.
Declaration of commitment to the Code
During its meeting on 24 February 2005, the supervisory board of AGRANA Beteiligungs-AG unanimously proclaimed the company's commitment to compliance with the Austrian corporate governance code.
The AGRANA Group's corporate structure has always been based on open and constructive cooperation between the managing board and the supervisory board. Together, they ensure that the corporate governance code is complied with as fully as possible. Please find below the bylaws of AGRANA Beteiligungs-AG, the corporate governance report 2025|26, the Austrian code of corporate governance (January 2025) and the latest independent assurance report on compliance of KPMG Austria Wirtschaftsprüfungs- und Steuerberatungsgesellschaft GmbH.
Supervisory board
The supervisory board of AGRANA Beteiligungs-AG consists of twelve members: eight elected by shareholders at the annual general meeting and four employee representatives delegated by the works council.
Comply or explain
AGRANA's compliance with all legal requirements (so-called "L rules") goes without saying.
Similarly, the company endeavours to comply with all the requirements contained in the code's "Comply or Explain" section.
In the 2025|26 financial year, AGRANA adhered to all C rules of the code except as explained below:
Rule 49 (contracts requiring approval)
Under section 95 (5)(12) of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act, the approval of the Supervisory Board is required for contracts with members of the Supervisory Board by which members undertake, outside their role on the Supervisory Board, to provide a service to the Company or a subsidiary for a material consideration. This also applies to contracts with companies in which a Supervisory Board member has a significant economic interest. At the time of the initial commitment to the Austrian Code of Corporate Governance in 2005, the Supervisory Board decided, for business policy and competition reasons, not to publish the object and terms of such contracts in the annual report as stipulated in rule 49.
