Supervisory Board
The Supervisory Board monitors the Management Board and advices them in its work of running the company’s operational business without taking up any executive functions in this course. Especially in case of fundamental decisions, the Management Board acts as consultative body. The Supervisory Board compounds of capital representatives advocating the interests of the shareholders and furthermore of members avouching the employees’ representatives. The capital representatives are elected by Erste Group Bank AG’s General Meeting of shareholders. In contrast, the employees’ representatives are appointed by the workers’ council. The number of employees’ representatives in the Supervisory Board is determined by the underlying proportion of one employees’ representative for two capital representatives. In case the number of capital representatives is uneven, the workers’ council is entitled to appoint another employees’ representative.
Committees of the Supervisory Board and statutory powers
The Supervisory Board has formed seven committees: the Risk Committee, the Steering and Coordination Committee, the Nomination Committee, the Remuneration Committee, the IT and Digital Committee and the Strategy and Sustainability Committee. These committees, some of which are legally required, are established by the Supervisory Board itself to thoroughly process matters within its own remit. The Supervisory Board is also entitled to delegate decision-making powers to the committees within the scope of its statutory powers but can also reassign authorizations given to the committees.

Erste Group’s segment reporting is based on IFRS 8 Operating Segments, which adopts the management approach. Accordingly, segment information is prepared on the basis of internal management reporting that is regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker to assess the performance of the segments and make decisions regarding the allocation of resources. Within Erste Group the function of the chief operating decision maker is exercised by the management board. Erste Group uses a matrix organisational structure with geographical segmentation and business segments. Since the chief operating decision maker performs the steering primarily based on geographical segments, those are defined as operating segments according to IFRS 8. In order to provide more comprehensive information, the performance of the business segments is reported additionally.
