Responsibilities
Each administrator carries a specific area of responsibility within the Board, ensuring all dimensions of the Foundation's Mission are represented at governance level.
Governance Structure
Bondo Foundation is a fondation d'utilité publique under Belgian law, recognised by Royal Decree. The Board of Trustees holds full governance authority and meets at least twice yearly. Key decisions require unanimity or qualified majorities depending on their nature.
Independence
The Foundation operates independently of any single investor, government or corporation. No single entity controls a majority of Board votes.
Transparency
Annual accounts are audited and published. All material decisions of the Board are recorded in minutes kept at the Foundation's registered address.
Accountability
The Foundation is accountable to its stakeholders, to Belgian law, and to the public interest it was created to serve. Founders may not extract personal financial benefit.
Continuity
Founding Administrators serve for life. Succession rules are defined in the statutes to ensure the Foundation's Mission outlives any individual.
Certain decisions — including amendments to the statutes, appointment of new administrators, and dissolution — require unanimous agreement of the full Board. Major investment and research decisions require an 80% majority. Day-to-day management is delegated to executive leadership.
Advisory Boards
The Foundation's statutes provide for the creation of one or more Advisory Boards to include stakeholders whose perspectives are valuable to the Foundation's governance but who are not yet represented at Board level.
Advisory Board members may be nominated by stakeholder organisations and appointed by the Board of Trustees. After a minimum of five years of valuable contribution, the Board may elect to amend the statutes to bring an Advisory Board category into full Board membership.
No Advisory Boards have been constituted to date. As the Foundation builds its network of academic, government and industry partners, appropriate advisory structures will be established.
Foundation Statutes
The Foundation's articles of association were executed by notarial deed on 31 December 2025 before Notary Peter Van Melkebeke in Brussels and published in the Belgian Official Gazette (Moniteur belge / Belgisch Staatsblad) on 11 February 2026.
