Within EADS, each Director must have the required mix of experience, qualifications, skills and industrial knowledge necessary to assist the Company in formulating and achieving its overall strategy, together with the specific expertise required to fulfil the duties assigned to him or her as member of one of the Board’s committees. The Board of Directors recognises that having a diverse composition among its members with respect to gender, experience, national origin, etc. is valuable for the quality and efficiency of its work.
The Board of Directors will propose candidates who can, in combination with the other Directors, manage EADS in a way that strengthens its position as a leader in the aerospace and defence industry. In this regard, the Board of Directors will take diversity — in particular with respect to gender — into account when assessing and proposing candidates for the upcoming renewal of the entire Board of Directors in 2012.
