Issues related to the governance of Valobat

Valobat was created at the initiative of 26 companies or professional organizations specialized in the manufacture and distribution of building products or materials. Since then, 22 new entities have joined the board so that Valobat's associates are fully representative of all the families of the categories targeted by EPR and of all the trades.
The governance structure is composed of nine Sector Committees, an Audit and Accounts Committee and a Board of Directors, all under the responsibility of the Assembly of 48 associates. It is completed by the Stakeholders Committee (CPP).
A Tender Committee and a Technical Operational Committee will complete Valobat's governance.

A shareholder is an associate of Valobat who participates in the general assembly of the 48 associates of the eco-organization and who has wished to engage in the governance of the eco-organization. All the associates have the same number of votes. They sit in the Sector Committees that elect the members of the Board of Directors.

Valobat has created 9 sector committees representing all building products and materials. These sector committees group together materials and products subject to the PMCB EPR and which follow a similar logic of marketing or waste management organization.
By favouring a participative governance within these sector committees, Valobat is betting on theself-determination of the eco-organization by its members, who are thus free to work together to establish the product listing and the eco-tax scales. 

Valobat has 9 sector committees representing all the PMCBs. Their work focuses on setting collection, processing and reuse objectives and resources, and on drawing up fee schedules, annual budgets and three-year financial plans. They may also decide on specific initiatives for the sector in the field of R&D or information and communication actions. During the creation phase, as Valobat did not yet have any members, sectorial Working Groups were set up to allow a large majority of actors to participate in the prefiguration of the eco-organization. The work carried out included the list of products and materials, the structure of the scale, and the orientations of the application file for approval.
To take into account the specificity of the distribution of PMCB, a working group dedicated to distributors was created and will be perpetuated in order to discuss the obligations of return of the distributors.

Valobat's objectives are fixed by the decree and the order of the specifications. The objectives of valorization are fixed at mid-approval and at the end of the approval.

The Board of Directors is composed of the President of Valobat, 18 associate directors (2 per sector committee), a state censor, 3 independent directors and 2 non-associate member directors
