Arcadis NV

In terms of corporate governance, climate related issues at Arcadis are managed under the guidance of the Executive Board and the Executive Leadership Team. In March 2021, Arcadis announced that Alexis Haass has joined as its first Chief Sustainability Officer ("CSO") to help drive the company's strategy and deliver on its goal of making a significant, quantifiable, and positive contribution to sustainable development. The CSO reports directly to the Executive Leadership Team member responsible for Sustainability ("ELTS") and through this to the CEO. [...] Arcadis also has a Sustainability Committee ("SusCo"), a committee of the Arcadis Supervisory Board with the primary task of assisting and advising the Supervisory Board of Arcadis N.V. in the area of sustainability. The SusCo consists of three members of the Supervisory Board and meets on a quarterly basis with the CEO, the Executive Leadership Team member responsible for Sustainability and the CSO. For the purpose of the SusCo, sustainability is defined as the various Environmental, Social, and Governance topics that demonstrate or measure the Company's commitment to improving quality of life. The SusCo assists the Supervisory Board by preparing the plenary discussion and decision-making by the Supervisory Board on major items within the SusCo's scope of work.
