With the responsibility that following these three main principles implies, the company adopts sustainability criteria for each and every one of its decisions to ensure the proper functioning of its business activity, looking forward for longterm future and to respond the needs and expectations of its environment and stakeholders

GOVERNMENT MODEL

Antolin’s governance and administration bodies are governed by a set of rules and principles that safeguard the smooth running of the company:


GOVERNING BODIES

The General Shareholders’ Meeting and the Board of Directors are the backbone of Antolin’s governance model. The company is 100% controlled by the Antolin family.

General Shareholders’ Meeting

All its members belong to the Antolin family and all the shareholders are represented in it. It is therefore the company’s highest decision-making body.

Board of Directors

This body is responsible for the governance and administration of the company through the approval of the corporate strategy and general policies, as well as the supervision of those matters of particular importance for the company and that are of special relevance to stakeholders.

The Board is made up of five members, two of whom are women, who are elected by the General Shareholders’ Meeting for a renewable six-year period. Daily management is entrusted to the Chief Executive Officer and Management Committee.
