ESG

Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors have become essential considerations for organisations and their boards, regardless of corporate structure or ownership.

Board Evaluation

Board Evaluation is an important process that helps to assess the performance and effectiveness of an organisation’s boards of directors. The board evaluation process is essential in determining whether the board is discharging its roles and responsibilities effectively, and whether it is working as an effective team. A well designed evaluation will be comprehensive and will help determine if the systems, structures and processes supporting the board are also effective.
