In terms of what the make-up of a board should look like and what experience is most relevant, "It's about what you're trying to do" says Wilhelm H Mohn. Séverine Neervoort notes that ICGN will be putting together a working group to look at private equity later this year. "You have to go into these conversations [with boards] with preparation and intent", says Andy Griffiths. It's important to think about how you can give investors opportunities to talk to non-execs, without undermining your executive team. The panel is now taking questions from the floor. https://lnkd.in/djgjGzrH #ICGN2024 #conference #governance #corpgov #stewardship #sustainability #investors #assetmanagers #assetowners #resilience #boards

Good to see that ICGN CEO Jen Sisson's remarks on the need for a more constructive approach have resonated: "We are all striving for the same goals. Investors, Boards and management teams should all basically be seeking the same thing. Investors want to invest in successful, thriving companies, to make good returns for our beneficiaries and to do that in a way that allows us to keep those returns coming, in a sustainable way, as we look to the future.  Management and Boards should want their companies to be successful over the long term too. This shouldn’t be combative; this should be constructive. We need to have open, honest dialogue and we need to advocate for good governance. We need to find ways to work together as investors and companies to achieve the best outcomes."

"ICGN and its network are a very important partner for us", says Richard Moriarty. The FRC and ICGN are united in a shared view that trust and confidence in reporting and good governance are essential for long-term value. He strongly believes that the way the regulator goes about its work and approaches regulation is key. "I'm really keen that we understand the lived experience" of how policies land" Richard says, "This is not a sterile debate about having more or less regulation. It's about being focused on smart regulation, and a willingness to engage with those who implement the rules". https://lnkd.in/djgjGzrH #ICGN2024 #conference #governance #corpgov #stewardship #sustainability #investors #assetmanagers #assetowners #sustainability #sustainabilityreporting #assurance

Looking forward to #UKSG24 - this plenary session in particular; a robust and sustainable ecosystem for Open Access is so important not just from the perspective of enabling researchers to share their research-findings more openly, thereby ensuring transparency, verification and reproducibility. It is also fundamental to libraries and their mission to act for the public good, ensuring people are not prevented from accessing information and knowledge by its cost. It is crucial that we examine Open Access publishing models not just in terms of the financial costs and impact of author-facing charges, but also in terms of the long term sustainability and openness of the infrastructure that enables research to be disseminated and made discoverable.
