The Governance and integrity

As a civil society organisation, DUWO wishes to act with integrity, transparency and independence. Therefore, we adhere to the Governance Code and have a strict integrity policy.

Public visitation

DUWO ordered Ecorys to conduct a public visitation over the period of 2016-2019. The visitation report shows how DUWO performs according to our stakeholders. Our total score is an overall score of larger than 7,5 a nice grade. The Visitation Report is public and has been published on our website and on the website of the Visitation Foundation (www.visitaties.nl).

Good governance

DUWO is a civil society organisation. Therefore, you may expect good governance from us. We adhere to the rules as laid down in the Governance Code that has been drawn up by the Vereniging van Toezichthouders in Woningcorporaties (VTW) [Association of Supervisory Authorities for Housing Corporations] and Aedes. The code provides standards for good governance, supervision, transparency, public accountability and financial management.

Division of tasks by the Board of Directors

The board is ultimately responsible for the strategic and tactical policy and the frameworks within which DUWO functions. The Chairman of the Board of Directors is also the person who represents DUWO's interests in the external network and is responsible for real estate, communication and policy. The fellow director is responsible for customer contacts and the management of the assets (branches) and finances. Each director is responsible for his or her range of tasks, from policy development to implementation and reporting. The directors determine strategy and policy jointly. Operationally and hierarchically, matters are clearly separated per policy column per management portfolio. Both directors completely replace each other if necessary.

Supervisory vision of the Supervisory Board

The Supervisory Board has formulated a supervisory vision in accordance with the Housing Corporation Governance Code. This vision addresses the responsibility for achieving the objectives, strategy, policy, financing and the mutual interaction in roles. The Supervisory Board describes its roles (employer, supervisor and sounding board) and performance of its duties as an internal supervisor.

Integrity policy DUWO

We expect our employees to act with integrity. We have therefore established an integrity policy. Our employees perform their duties in the spirit of this policy. The integrity policy provides guidance and clarifies how we deal with certain situations. In this way, we protect the interests of our clients, of our employees and of Stichting DUWO.

Remuneration policy

The remuneration of the employees of DUWO is in conformity with the Collective Labour Agreement Housing Services. The remuneration of the directors and supervisors is in conformity with the Top Salaries Standards Act.
