Achieving 74.14 percent of the possible points (2020: just under 52 percent), grenke advanced to third place among a total of 64 assessed SDAX companies. grenke thereby significantly outperformed the average score in both the SDAX (53.67 percent) and the MDAX (60.96 percent).

 

grenke’s interim CEO and CFO, Dr Sebastian Hirsch, attributes this strong rating to the dedicated efforts over the past two years: "Our good ranking in this renowned corporate governance benchmark confirms that we take these topics very seriously. We have not only announced major improvements in this area, but also consequently implemented them. This is the best prerequisite for grenke’s new strength. Good governance and open communication are essential for the company’s success."
