Skandia has elected five new members to its general council, the company's highest decision-making body.

Two of the members were re-elected, and three were newly elected.

Skandia's general council represents its customers and is tasked with exercising the company's ownership function by appointing the board and setting its values and direction.

This year's general council elections took place between 15 January and 17 February, and the new members will take office after an annual general meeting on 6 May, holding office for six years.

The election results mean the general council will now have 15 representatives.

Following the Skandia council election, the candidates who have been elected are Kristina Hirschfeldt (re-election), Cecilia Sandberg (re-election), Mikael Angberg, Christian Schulz, and Daniel Waldenström.

A total of 16,400 customers who were eligible to vote voted. For each vote, Skandia donated SEK 10 to its foundation, Ideas for Life, which increases the safety and health of children and young people.

Therefore, Skandia will donate SEK 164,000 to the foundation in total.

“Since Skandia is a customer-owned company, it is important that as many people as possible participate in the council elections,” said Skandia chairwoman of the nomination committee for council elections, Agenta Wallmark.

"Ahead of the next elections in 2027, we, as a nomination committee, want to work
to ensure that even more people actively contribute to influencing Skandia's future," she added.
