BOFA's user council

On 1 January 2003, BOFA changed from being a joint municipal company owned by the five Bornholm municipalities to becoming a company under Bornholm Regional Municipality.

To ensure an ongoing and optimal dialogue with the users of BOFA's services, the regional municipality's Technical and Environmental Committee decided to set up a user council affiliated with BOFA on BOFA's recommendation.

Composition of the User Council
The User Council consists of representatives from different user groups that use BOFA's services. Each invited user group selects a representative for the council.

Meetings of the User Council
The User Council meets twice a year. The meetings are typically held in BOFA's Waste Tower or at another location in Rønne.

Role and competences of the user council
The User Council has no decision-making power. Therefore, the council cannot make decisions on BOFA's tariffs or services, for example. The decision-making power always lies with the municipal council, relevant standing committees and BOFA's management.

BOFA's user council will always be informed and consulted on relevant topics, such as:

• Upcoming service changes
• Upcoming changes to tariffs
• Green accounting results
• Key figures from financial statements
• Waste plan
• Waste regulations
• Sorting rules
• Changing legal requirements
• Information and communication

The following associations, companies and councils are represented in BOFA's User Council:

BEOF
BO42
Danish Society for Nature Conservation
Elderly Council
Danish Industry
Rønne water and heating (RVV)
Bornholm Civic Associations Co-operative
Bornholm Agriculture
Danish Construction Association Bornholm
BOFA
