An update from Imperial Brands ( (GB:IMB) ) is now available.
Imperial Brands has disclosed that non-executive director Robert Kunze-Concewitz has been appointed as a non-executive director and chair of the remuneration committee at beauty group Coty Inc., effective 18 March 2026. The additional external board role underscores the cross-industry governance profile of Imperial’s board, while the company confirmed there are no other relevant changes to report under the applicable UK listing rules.
Coty, listed in New York and Paris, is one of the world’s largest beauty companies with brands spanning fragrance, colour cosmetics, and skin and body care. The appointment may broaden Kunze-Concewitz’s exposure to consumer brands and remuneration practices in an adjacent sector, potentially benefiting Imperial Brands’ own board oversight without altering its current governance disclosures.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:IMB) stock is a Buy with a £36.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Imperial Brands stock, see the GB:IMB Stock Forecast page.
