Corporate Governance

The two-tier corporate governance model in force in EDP allows an effective separation between the exercise of supervisory and managing duties in line with the interests of EDP, its shareholders, employees and other stakeholders, thus contributing for the achievement of a degree of confidence and transparency necessary for its adequate functioning and optimization.

The EDP management and supervision structure is made up of four bodies: the General Meeting, the Executive Board of Directors, the General and Supervisory Board and the Statutory Auditor.

Separation of the functions of management and supervision is ensured by the existence of a Executive Board of Directors, which is responsible for the management of the business, and by the General and Supervisory Board, which is the maximum corporate authority in matters of supervision.

For a better understanding of how EDP works in terms of corporate governance, are available in this area, among other things the Articles of Association as well as the internal regulations for the Executive Board of Directors, the General and Supervisory Board and their respective committees.
