The management and supervisory structures at HeidelbergCement comply with the regulations under the German Stock Company Act, the company's Articles of Association, the procedural rules of the Managing Board and Supervisory Board and – with a few exceptions (see Statement of Compliance) – the German Corporate Governance Code (GCGC). They are described in detail in the Group's Corporate Governance Principles, based on the German Corporate Governance Code (attached file to the right).In accordance with § 286, section 5 and § 314, section 2 sentence 2 of the German Commercial Code, the 2006 Annual General Meeting exercised their right to exempt the company from the obligation to publish the remuneration of each individual member of the Managing Board. The additional recommendations of the German Corporate Governance Code passed in June 2007 were adopted into the Group's Corporate Governance Principles.
