President and CEO’s duties and responsibilities
The President and CEO’s duty is to manage and oversee the company’s business operations. The President and CEO reports to the Board on the company's business and financial performance, and supervises the execution of the Board resolutions. He is responsible for the arrangement of the company’s day-to-day administration and supervises that the accounts of the company are in compliance with the law and that its financial affairs have been arranged in a reliable manner.
The President and CEO may take measures that are considered unusual or extensive in view of the scope and nature of the company's business only with the authorisation from the Board of Directors, unless the time required to obtain such authorisation would cause substantial harm to the company. In the latter case, the Board of Directors shall be notified of the measures taken as soon as possible.
Group Executive Team’s duties and responsibilities

The group’s business operations and global functions are divided into six business areas and six main support functions each headed by a member of the Group Executive Team. Each executive’s area of responsibility is presented in the illustration below.
