Appointment principles
Board appointments are made by the existing directors against three criteria: relevant domain expertise (polymer chemistry, EU industrial chemistry regulation, cold-chain commercial scale-up, or licensing-business operations); demonstrated independence from the founder’s personal network; and willingness to attend a minimum of six scheduled board meetings per year plus ad-hoc convenings around financing or material commercial events. Directors are appointed for a renewable two-year term and are subject to annual self-assessment.
