    We have a two-tier management structure. This is common practice in the Netherlands and means that the company is managed by the Board of Management, supervised by an independent, non-executive Supervisory Board. We also have an Executive Leadership Team.

    Board of Management

    The Board of Management is responsible for Fugro’s strategy, policies, and results.
