ENGIE’s Board of Directors proposes to appoint Marie-Claire Daveu as independent director

Marie-Claire Daveu’s experience in environmental and social responsibility as well as her knowledge of renewable energy will bolster the Group's governance and round off the diverse range of skills and experience within the Board of Directors, in line with the challenges facing ENGIE and its strategic orientations.

The Board of Directors is anticipating this appointment in light of the end of Françoise Malrieu’s term in 2023, which will not be renewed in compliance with regulations on the loss of independence beyond 12 years.

Should this appointment be approved at the General Shareholders' meeting, along with proposals to renew the terms of other directors, for one year the Board will be composed of 15 members, before dropping back down to 14 following the 2023 General Shareholders' meeting. The share of independent directors will be 64% (up from 60% currently), with women accounting for 55% of all members (as opposed to 50% currently).*

*The share of independent members and women is calculated in accordance with applicable legal provisions and with the Afep-Medef Code.
