PGGM Coöperatie U.A is the sole shareholder of PGGM N.V. Neither PGGM Coöperatie U.A nor PGGM N.V. are listed on the stock exchange. For that reason, we are not obliged to comply with the Netherlands Corporate Governance Code, which only applies to listed companies. Nevertheless, where possible we are keen to implement the best practices described in this code. We do so because we support the underlying idea and wish to be as transparent as possible for all interested parties and the parties with whom we do business.
