Peter Blom has decided to temporarily step down as a member of the Supervisory Board of De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB) with effect from 7 November 2022.
Blom's decision comes following a petition filed by Stichting Certificaathouders Triodos Bank with the Enterprise Division of the Amsterdam Court of Appeal on 10 October 2022 to initiate inquiry proceedings. Blom has been a member of DNB's Supervisory Board since 1 September 2021. He was chair of the Triodos Bank Executive Board until 21 May 2021. DNB appreciates that Blom has decided to step down temporarily in order to eliminate any semblance of a conflict of interest during any proceedings.
