Our Group consists of different companies that are divided into business lines. Our companies retain a great deal of operational autonomy within the framework outlined by the Group, and each one is responsible for its own budget and results
Each company has its own Executive Committee, and a Group Executive Committee exists at group level. As far as real estate development is concerned, a Real Estate Committee is in place. The Board of Directors has overarching authority over all companies that form part of our Group.
