Our Board of Directors

Throughout the year, it examines key milestones in the company’s life: reviewing operating performance, quarterly results, and half-year and annual financial statements; approving the budget; assessing risks and sustainability indicators; and determining the remuneration of Executive Officers.
The Board’s support for our strategy and for the transformations we are leading is invaluable. Together, we are defining the framework and objectives for Orange’s next strategic plan.

Orange relies on three specialized committees within the Board of Directors: the Audit Committee, the Strategy and Technology Committee, and the Governance and Corporate Social and Environmental Responsibility Committee. Chaired by independent directors, these committees strengthen governance by providing detailed insight into financial performance, technological evolution, business strategy, and social and environmental responsibility.
Internal control is carried out through a collaborative framework involving governance committees, support functions overseeing control-related domains, and operational teams. Oversight is led by the Internal Control Department, which reports to the Audit, Control, and Risk Management Division. This team defines the methodology, provides tools for implementation, and establishes the annual work program that guides internal control across the organization.
