strengthen your board with independent directorship expertise
As stakeholders increasingly demand greater board oversight, companies are under increasing pressure to comply with corporate governance codes and best practices.
In this context, the role of the independent director has evolved significantly over the years and has become a profession in its own right. Independence is a critical element of corporate governance that adds significant value to organisations. Independent directors offer an unbiased perspective, positively challenge decision-making processes and provide valuable insights into best practice through their broad exposure to different operating structures.
Effective boards are made up of a diverse range of skills and backgrounds. Appointing the right independent director ensures that the board covers all the necessary areas of expertise, seniority and experience.
