Board of Directors

Danske Bank's highest-ranking governing bodies are the Board of Directors and the Executive Board. In this two-tier structure, no executive officers in the Danske Bank Group serve on the Board of Directors of the parent company.

According to the Group's two-tier executive management structure, the Board of Directors sets forth the general principles for Danske Bank's affairs.

The Board is responsible for ensuring that the Group's organisation is sound and in this capacity appoints the Executive Board, the Group Chief Auditor, the Deputy Group Chief Auditor and the Secretary to the Board of Directors.
