Leadership

Every year, the Board of Directors conducts a selfassessment. Based on the result of this assessment, the organisation and efficiency of the Board of Directors' work are discussed at a Board meeting.

In 2025, the annual self-assessment of the Board of Directors was performed without external assistance. The self-assessment consisted of five questions in which board members as well as the Executive Leadership Team responded anonymously.

The self-assessment shows that there is an open and transparent dialogue between the Board of Directors and the Executive Leadership Team, and the board committees serve as good vehicles for framing the discussions in the Board of Directors and ensure that key risks are addressed.

Furthermore, the self-assessment shows that the board members have relevant competencies, matching what the Board of Directors considers necessary to best perform its tasks, such as finance, digital transformation, customer experience, commercialisation, sustainability, industry knowledge incl. the US market, general management, innovation, legal affairs and acquisitions. However, the Board of Directors will increase focus on company culture. As part of the search for a permanent President & CEO, the Board of Directors will discuss which additional competencies may be needed in the Board of Directors.

During the past year, the Board of Directors has spent considerable time working on Coloplast’s new strategy: Impact4 and new financial ambition. Furthermore, the Board of Directors has devoted significant resources to management changes and leadership structures, including the search for a new permanent President & CEO. The Board of Directors has also continued monitoring integration efforts and impact on Coloplast of geopolitical events.
