As a part of Norway Asia Business Summit  that will take place in Bangkok from November 29 to December 1, FutureBoards is organizing two ESG Deep Dive sessions related to the role, composition and work of the board of directors.  

ESG DEEP DIVE SESSION 1, 30 NOVEMBER 2023:

ESG FOR BOARDS - GETTING READY FOR NEW REALITIES!

The traditional capitalistic growth model, that has been a zero-sum game for people and the planet, is increasingly being questioned. Fortunately, the general consensus that the business of business is not just business anymore, is actually embraced by a growing number of corporate leaders. This critical mindshift is accelerated by a number of stakeholders, including large institutional investors, NGOs, politicians and regulators. 

Sesssion Topics & Questions:

• The E, the S and the G – a brief overview of trends and current regulations affecting the role, composition and work of the Board of directors.

• Will this new reality affect how companies are governed and run?

• Can we expect to see a radical shift in governance models in the years to come, or small adjustments to existing models?  

• How can boards and management work together to ensure long term sustainable value creation?

• How to balance Risk management/compliance vs strategic opportunities for business 

• What kind of competence upgrade at the board level is required to meet new expectations from investors, regulators and ‘other’ stakeholders?
