AFEP - MEDEF recommendations on the compensation of TOUAX's executive corporate officers

During its December 11th, 2008 meeting, the supervisory board has reviewed the AFEP-MEDEF recommendations on the compensation of executive corporate officers of listed companies, published on 6 October 2008.

The board considers that these recommendations are in line with the corporate governance practice of the company, and welcomes the initiative, which it fully supports.
