Chairman
Board of Directors
The Board of Directors is responsible for guiding and monitoring the management of the Company and the Group it heads, defining its strategic guidelines and governance system.
The Board of Directors operates by pursuing Sustainable Success - meaning the objective that guides the Board's actions in pursuing its strategies, and which consists in creating long-term value for the benefit of shareholders, while also taking into account the interests of other stakeholders relevant to the Company and the Group, with a view to ensuring long-term profitability, competitiveness and the enhancement of the interests of shareholders together with those of all other relevant stakeholders - in compliance with the Code of Ethics and in coherence with ESG Principles. The management body, without prejudice to the prerogatives of the Shareholders' Meeting pursuant to law, has the broadest powers to perform all acts aimed at achieving the company’s purpose.
The Board of Directors has retained a number of decisions concerning particularly significant matters and operations, while assigning a portion of its management responsibilities to the Chief Executive Officer to ensure more streamlined and efficient management of the Company.
In line with best practice, the Board of Directors has chosen not to grant operational powers to the Chairman, who performs institutional, policy and control tasks.
Among its independent directors, the Board of Directors has appointed a Lead Independent Director, entrusted with the tasks specified in the Corporate Governance Code. Three Endoconsiliar Committees operate within the Board of Directors, all with proposing and advisory functions.
The Board of Directors has adopted guidelines for the functioning of the Board of Directors and the Endoconsiliar Committees (italian only), updated in July 2025, in which, in addition to recalling the main duties of the Board of Directors and individual directors, the rules for the functioning of the Endoconsiliar Committees are outlined, so as to incorporate the practices followed and the indications contained in the Corporate Governance Code.
The guidelines were last revised in July 2025 to take into account regulatory changes with particular regard to ESG issues and to better represent how the concepts of "sustainability" and "sustainability success" have been consolidated in Edison's actions.
