Descendants of the founder

According to the Charter, descendants of Poul Due Jensen should always occupy four seats on the Foundation’s Board (if possible). The Founder’s children are entitled to seats on the Board for as long as they wish, but only until the age of 70. After that, these four family members may be granted a dispensation for two years at a time by a simple majority. Descendants are up for election according to a rotation principle.

The Charter sets out that the Board includes 4 external members who are elected for a four-year period and may be re-elected. Individuals nominated for these seats must be highly competent in areas such as technology, finance, sales or general management. The external Board Members cannot be members of the day-to-day management of Grundfos.

The Foundation is in the process of recruiting a new external board member.
