Interests

The notification obligation applies to the members and deputy members of the HUS Executive Board, the chairman and vice-chairs of the council, the chairmen and vice-chairs of the committees, and the presenting officers of the executive board and committees. Members and deputy members of the financial and group divisions must also declare their interests. The notification must be made within two months of the person being elected to his or her task or position of trust. 

The information to be notified includes managerial positions and positions of trust in business enterprises and other organizations, e.g. the duties of CEO and Deputy CEO and membership of a company's Board of Directors. Other interests that may be relevant for the performance of positions of trust and official duties must also be reported (e.g. significant holdings of real estate or housing companies). The obligation to notify does not apply to memberships and holdings of persons close to the elected representative or official.

Confidential information will not be reported. These include, for example, business or professional secrets, annual income or total wealth, or information on health status.
