In addition to operational activities, listed companies have to fulfil a range of administrative tasks, as required by law: i.e. the publication of the financial statement or the organisation and execution of the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.

The execution team assumes full responsibility for the project execution, project controlling and - management.
