Advisory — Board Effectiveness and Composition Review

Netherlands·Energy & Utilities·Energy & Chemicals·Posted 8 July 2026

Euronext-listed chemicals group

The problem this seat exists to solve

Two supervisory board members approach the twelve-year ceiling and the board's statutory gender balance constrains the sequence of replacements. The chair wants an external effectiveness review before the nomination process begins.

The remit

Conduct a board effectiveness review against the Dutch Corporate Governance Code
Map the succession sequence against the twelve-year ceiling and the statutory gender balance
Produce a skills and capability specification for the next two appointments
Present findings to the supervisory board and to the works council where required

What the sponsor will not compromise on

Board evaluation experience at a listed European company
Understanding of the Dutch two-tier model, the structure regime and works-council rights
Independence from any search process that may follow
English working language

Terms

Engagement: Three months, with interviews, observation of one board meeting and a written report.
Compensation: Scoped engagement fee.
Cross-border: Advisory engagement; no appointment or registration formalities apply.

Before you apply — an advisory engagement

No office of director, and no appointment formalities.

An advisory engagement creates no directorship in the Netherlands. There is no registry filing, no regulator pre-approval, no residency arithmetic and no statutory director liability — which is why it is so often the right first step into a market you do not yet know.

On this brief: Advisory engagement; no appointment or registration formalities apply.
Independence: Where the engagement specifies independence from any search that follows, that is a requirement of the engagement rather than a courtesy — an adviser to a board is not a candidate for it.

How advisory engagements are scoped

How this works

Every seat here is applied for by a certified director.

That is the whole difference. A sponsor reading applications from this Exchange knows the pool has been tested — which is why the briefs are real and why an application gets read. Five steps, and the first three are free.

1
Register — free
Read every brief, every regime map and both tools. Nothing is hidden behind the paywall and nothing ever has been. You can apply straight away — one application a fortnight.
2
Sit the assessment — free, about 30 minutes
15 judgement questions on statutory duty, your functional depth and cross-border practice. Sitting it costs nothing and you see your band and a gap report either way — so you learn something about your own standing whether or not you go further.
3
Pass, and you are certified — free, for 12 months
There is no fee to certify. A certified member applies to board, interim and advisory seats, one application a week. That alone is more than most directors act on in a quarter.
4
Then, if you want the rate — Foresight InfinityUS$250 a month
Your application is collated, verified against your profile and carried to the sponsor every week instead of waiting out the seat’s priority period — and we search for you rather than waiting for you to look. Foresight Infinity Plus, US$500 a month, is carried first, the moment it is matched, with a document written for that seat and your score attached.
Monthly only — there is no annual term on either. One payment a month; nothing renews on its own.
5
Your certificate and your membership are not the same thing
The certificate runs 12 months. A membership renews every month. If you stop paying you do not go back to the beginning — you keep the certificate you earned and return to one application a week until it expires.
