Note 25: Related party transactions

We purchased and sold goods and services to various related parties in which we hold a 50% or less equity interest (associates and joint ventures). Such transactions were conducted at terms comparable with transactions with third parties.

During 2020, we considered the members of the Executive Committee and the Supervisory Board to be the key management personnel as defined in IAS 24 “Related parties”. For details on their remuneration, as well as on shares held by members of the Supervisory Board or Board of Management, refer to Note 26. In the ordinary course of business, we also have transactions with various organizations with which certain members of the Supervisory Board or Executive Committee are associated.

For related party transactions with pension funds, refer to Notes 15 and 19.
