Corporate governance and shareholder information

DSV
The Chairman of the Board is responsible for initiating and running the
evaluation process, which includes a mix of questionnaires and interviews.
When completed, the outcome is presented to - and discussed by - the Board.
At least every third year, external advisors are brought in to help conduct
the annual self-evaluation. The last time was in 2021. Using external advi-
sors helps give an independent perspective on the performance and com-
positions of the Board of Directors. The Board can then use their input to
support the self-evaluation the following years.
The 2022 self-evaluation addressed a number of topics - including Board
members' mix of competencies and insight in areas like digitisation and ESG
regulation. The summary report had no reservations on these topics and
validated the appropriateness of the current Board composition.
Board committees
The Board of Directors is assisted by an audit, nomination and remunera-
tion committee. Each is responsible for carrying out various preparatory
tasks around the Board's key areas of responsibility.
The committees also assist the Board by preparing and assessing all man-
agerial and strategic proposals presented to the Board, to ensure a solid
and informed basis for decision-making.
The rules of procedure for the committees are available at:

Board meetings
In 2022, the Board of Directors held nine ordinary and no extraordinary
meetings. The agenda for each is defined in accordance with the annual
cycle of the Board to make sure the strategic and operational policy
framework of the Group is always up to date and in accordance with the
emphasis defined by the Board.
Besides the work laid down in the annual cycle, this year the Board mainly
focused on M&A and growth strategies, various integration topics around
the acquisition of Agility's Global Integrated Logistics business (GIL), cy-
bersecurity and the continuous development of our digital freight for-
warding platforms.
