Other activities and outside interests.
Members of the Board of Directors and of the Management Board voluntarily declare their outside interests. A special committee of the Board of Directors (Presidium) consisting of Messrs Ulrich Gygi and Olivier Steimer ensures that outside interests are declared, potential conflicts of interests identified at an early stage and the rules of withdrawal complied with.
These additional activities on other management and supervisory boards, and in political offices, are listed for individual members of the Board of Directors. Members of the Board of Directors may not exercise executive functions within SBB. During the three fiscal years preceding the period under review none of them was a member of the Management Board of SBB, and nor did they have any business relationship with SBB (e.g. as supplier or lender).
Reciprocal board membership.
No arrangements for reciprocal board membership exist between SBB and any other company.
