Close and continuous dialog between Managing Board and Supervisory Board
Managing Board and Supervisory Board issue declaration of compliance
Good corporate governance is an integral part of HUGO BOSS and a guiding principle encompassing all areas of our business. It is a key factor for long-term success and sustainable value creation. The Managing Board and Supervisory Board are committed to ensuring the Company’s continuity while promoting responsible, transparent, and forward-looking corporate governance. In doing so, HUGO BOSS aims to live up to, and further strengthen, the trust placed in the Company by its employees, shareholders, business partners, and the public.
In fiscal year 2025, the Managing Board and Supervisory Board dealt in detail with compliance with the requirements of the German Corporate Governance Code (GCGC) and, as a result, issued the Declaration of Compliance dated December 2025. It is included at the end of this chapter and, like previous declarations of compliance, published on the corporate website. HUGO BOSS complies with all recommendations of GCGC as amended on April 28, 2022, published in the “Bundesanzeiger” [German Federal Gazette] on June 27, 2022.
The Corporate Governance Statement (pursuant to Sec. 289f and Sec. 315d HGB [“Handelsgesetzbuch”: German Commercial Code]) contains, among other things, the declaration of compliance, disclosures on corporate governance practices, and a description of the working methods of the Managing Board and the Supervisory Board. It is also available at cgs.hugoboss.com.
