Corporate Governance Structure
At SOFIPA, as a financial entity, we understand the fundamental importance of having solid corporate governance for the success and sustainability of our organization. Our Corporate Governance structure is designed to ensure transparency, ethics, and responsibility in all our operations and strategic decisions.
Shareholders Assembly
as the Supreme Authority
The Shareholders Assembly represents the supreme decision-making body in SOFIPA. In their regular meetings, our shareholders actively participate in key decisions, such as the election of the Board of Directors and the approval of policies and strategies essential for the company´s future. We value and respect the importance of our shareholders participation, as their voice is a fundamental pillar for the growth and development of our organization.
The Board of Directors is another key component of our Corporate Governance. As the second most important body, its fundamental role is the management of the company and the supervision of executive management. It consists of independent directors and representatives of the shareholders, ensuring balanced and objective decision-making, always looking out for the interests of all parties involved in the company. Moreover, the Board actively promotes the adoption of best practices and the safeguarding of our business integrity culture.
The Company Commissioner plays a key role in our governance framework. As an independent figure, its mission is to ensure the transparency and legality of our operations. Reporting directly to the Shareholders Assembly, the Commissioner conducts regular audits to ensure compliance with current regulations and preserve the integrity of SOFIPA.
Support Committees
In pursuit of effective governance, we have established 6 support committees to the Board of Directors, each with specific functions and responsibilities:
Audit Committee
Risk Committee
Ethics Committee
Communication and Control Committee
Corporate Governance Committee
Nominations and Remunerations Committee
General Management
The General Manager plays a crucial role in our Corporate Governance structure. Its main responsibility is to lead the execution of the strategy approved by the Board of Directors and manage the company´s day-to-day operations. Coordinating the efforts of all teams, it ensures that our operations align with corporate objectives and maintains the highest standards of excellence in all our financial activities.
At SOFIPA, we are strongly committed to efficient and transparent corporate governance, as we believe it is fundamental to achieving sustainable success and generating trust among all our stakeholders.
