WWH does not have a corporate assembly. The general meeting elects the WWH board of directors. The board comprises five directors elected for two years at a time. Two of the present directors are women.

Four directors are independent of the majority owner and of the executive management.

In 2011, Wilhelm Wilhelmsen stepped down from the board and was replaced by Carl Erik Steen. Information on the background and experience of the directors can be
found on the company’s web pages, which also provides a specification of the directors’ shareholding in WWH.

The interests of the employees are met by an executive committee for industrial democracy in foreign trade shipping, chaired by the group CEO Thomas Wilhelmsen. The committee comprises six members, four appointed from the management and two elected by the workforce. It meets regularly through the year. Issues submitted for consideration by the committee include a draft of the accounts and budget as well as
matters of major financial significance for the company or of special importance for the workforce.
