Practical knowledge, current news, and tips for Supervisory Board work

The requirements for Supervisory Boards are increasing and the tasks of the Supervisory Board members are becoming more and more complex. Our app for Supervisory Boards supports you as a Supervisory Board member in keeping track of these requirements. Whether personal requirements for you as a Supervisory Board member or Chairperson, the fulfilment of individual tasks by the Supervisory Board or the organisation of the Supervisory Board’s tasks - with our app for Supervisory Board members you can find important information on the essential aspects of good corporate governance quickly and in a targeted manner.

With our new focus on ESG, we support you in keeping an overview in the regulatory jungle and in reflecting on which areas of Supervisory Board work is affected by ESG and what you should pay attention to. The news function keeps you up to date on corporate governance topics. If you wish, we keep you informed via push notifications.

You can download our app on your smartphone or tablet, or you can access the WebApp directly through your browser.
