The NNIT employees elect a number of representatives corresponding to half of the total number of board members elected by the shareholders.

All board members are registered with the Danish Business Authority.

When nominating candidates for the Board of Directors, the Chairmanship seeks to achieve a balance between renewal and continuity, and it is NNIT’s aim that at least half of its shareholder-elected board members are independent in accordance with the Danish Corporate Governance Recommendations.

Employee-elected board members should reflect the composition of NNIT’s employees.

It is NNIT’s aim that the Board of Directors possesses the qualifications of integrity, accountability, fairness, financial literacy, commitment and desire for innovation and experience from the management of companies that market their products and services globally.

The Board of Directors holds at least six to eight ordinary meetings a year, including one strategy meeting. The Chairman convenes an extraordinary meeting when deemed necessary or when requested by a member of the Board of Directors, a member of the Executive Management, or by the Company’s external auditor.

Every year, the Board of Directors conducts a self-assessment and review of the Executive Management's performance and succession preparedness.

The chairman of the Board has the overall responsibility for conducting the self-assessment of the Board of Directors and review of the Executive Management.

Every third year, the self-assessment and review is facilitated by external consultants who interview all members of the Board of Directors and the Executive Management.

In 2024, the Board of Directors was evaluated by an external advisor.

General conclusions of the evaluation

The board has many good qualities. Led by the Chair, the tone on the board is open, respectful, and encouraging. Board members are professional, dedicated, and committed to their roles.  Everyone is comfortable voicing their opinions, fostering an environment where diverse perspectives are valued. The board also enjoys a positive working relationship with the CEO and management, ensuring open and effective dialogue. Meetings are structured, and the quality of board materials has improved over the past year.

To enhance the board’s performance, the external advisor suggested that the board, in cooperation with the executives, set up meetings so that executives use the board more as a sounding board for core challenges and that the board material comes in an aligned format, including a storyline, alternative solutions, and focused questions to the board. Moreover, it will be important to set aside time to discuss the company’s long-term vision and strategic dilemmas.
