Corporate governance

Corporate governance is one of the fundamental pillars of our way of operating, and we believe that a strong and transparent governance system is essential to ensure the sustainability, responsibility, and long-term success of our company.

Guber Banca adopts a traditional governance system, suitable for ensuring the efficiency of processes and the effectiveness of controls in a perspective of sound and prudent management. The governance model is based on constructive dialogue among the corporate bodies, particularly between the bodies appointed by the shareholders, such as the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors, with the addition of the CEO.

The internal control system plays a central role, representing a fundamental element in risk management and in fostering a culture of risk, legality, and corporate values throughout the organization.
Within the framework of the internal control system, the control functions, which report to the Board of Directors, include Risk Management, Compliance, AML , Internal Audit, and the ICT Risk and Cybersecurity Function.

The current Board of Directors was appointed by the General Meeting of shareholders on April 28, 2023, and will be in office for the next three years.
