Communicating with global senior management
In early 2006, the Executive Committee formulated the 2010 targets for the organisation. The top management of the company organised seven “road show” meetings across the globe to communicate this vision to about one thousand managers who participated in those meetings. The one-day event allowed for an open interaction with the top management, during which the audience could also give its reaction via an electronic voting system (see chart on the outcome of the vote on the significance of Umicore working on sustainable development). In certain areas, this event was also used to organize in parallel certain training and discussion sessions on the practical application of the Code of Conduct.
