Strategic Corporate Governance and Responsibility

When companies go off track – unexpected risks become a reality, unplanned-for claims arrive without notice, a sudden vacancy appears among top management – shareholders look to the Board of Directors for an explanation and a remedy. But how do we know if directors are effective? And how should we measure their performance? This course examines ‘what good looks like’ for members of a board when carrying out their duties – including the Board chairman, the Company Secretary and non-executive directors.

By attending this course, you will examine new and complex issues that are taxing the skills of even the most experienced directors. These include the potential for conflict between activist shareholders and the board, the emergence of Climate Change as a threat to global security, the requirements to report publicly on what is called the “stakeholder agenda”, and the increasing focus of regulatory bodies, such as the Financial Reporting Council, on how boards are managing risk. 

Você também considerará os princípios e práticas de responsabilidade corporativa, analisando como ela evoluiu de raízes filantrópicas e religiosas para uma filosofia de toda a empresa e um chamado à ação de sustentabilidade. Ele considerará por que a adoção de uma abordagem sustentável faz sentido para as empresas hoje, como se aplica a diferentes setores e por que as organizações precisam levar em consideração suas várias partes interessadas ao desenvolver um plano de sustentabilidade. O suporte pós-curso também está disponível em relação à implementação do seu plano de ação, até seis (6) meses após a conclusão do curso.

The course will wrap with a summary of the key learning points, followed by an action planning exercise with a view to applying the acquired knowledge and skills immediately upon your return to work. Post-course support is also available in relation to the implementation of your action plan, up to six (6) months following course completion.
