Operation
At the top of the decision making hierarchy within the Kia organization, the Board of Directors (BoD) fits the specific requirements of the automotive business.
To ensure timely and quick decision-making, the CEO chairs the BoD at Kia. In addressing concerns over potential interference in the independence of the BoD, a protocol measure is in place that provides agenda items and other related information to all BoD members at least seven days before BoD meetings.
