In 2023, the Board evaluation was carried out by the chairman of the Board of Directors in the form of conversations with each member of the Board of Directors and the Executive Management. The overall conclusion of the evaluation was that the Board of Directors and its cooperation with the Executive Management function well and that there is broad agreement on strategic priorities.
