The current board of Danish Crown A/S consists of six democratically elected cooperative owners, three employee representatives, and four external board members from relevant leadership positions in Danish business.
By the end of the year, Danish Crown will transition to having a single board structure, which will consist of five individuals elected from among the members of Danish Crown's board of representatives, up to five external board members appointed by a nominations committee, and the elected employee representatives. The process of finding the fifth external board member, who is expected to have the qualifications to assume the chairman's role, is currently underway.
