Management and Supervision

In compliance with the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG), Wacker Chemie AG has a dual management system, comprising the Executive Board – in charge of running the company – and the Supervisory Board – which oversees the Executive Board. Wacker Chemie AG’s Executive Board consists of four members. Assisted by WACKER’s corporate departments, the Executive Board coordinates the Group’s strategies, resources, infrastructure and organization. Wacker Chemie AG is the parent company and thus determines the Group’s strategy, overall management, resource allocation, funding, and communications with key target groups, especially the capital market and shareholders.
