📊 The share of companies with overboarding policies has risen significantly, typically limiting directors to serving on no more than three other boards. What’s behind this trend? As public company board service grows increasingly complex, investors and proxy advisory firms are focusing more on directors who may be stretched too thin by serving on multiple boards.

#NavigatingWashington ♻️ On January 20, the President issued an executive order to boost #energyreliability and affordability by fast-tracking fossil fuel development. An accompanying memo also suspended offshore wind leases. Here’s what’s in the order: 🛢️ Faster permitting for oil, gas, and coal projects—environmental review requirements suspended. 🌊 Offshore wind leases paused. ⚖️ Temporary waivers for environmental statutes to accelerate fossil fuel infrastructure. #TheTCBTake 💡 What this means for companies: ◾ Fossil fuel firms may see fewer permitting delays, but global #decarbonization trends pose market risks. ◾ State vs. federal tensions—mandates like California’s climate laws could complicate #compliance. ◾ Climate risk isn’t going away—#extremeweather will continue to pressure corporate sustainability strategies. ➠ Read more: https://lnkd.in/e2ZWGMyi
