From the introduction of Say on Pay to the rise of ESG and boardroom diversity, corporate America has experienced significant governance developments over the past decade. Now, more than ever, public companies are operating under intense investor scrutiny and answering to multiple stakeholders.
To put these developments into context, our current issue of C-Suite focuses on the most critical governance topics for the decade ahead and how companies can prepare. Ani Huang, President of the Center On Executive Compensation, shares insights on the importance of human capital management issues and the role that the CHRO and board play in ensuring sound programs.
Our cover story highlights the most prominent trends in corporate governance today, including ESG, CEO succession planning, the Business Roundtable’s “Stakeholder Model” and much more. Amy Borrus, Deputy Director of the Council of Institutional Investors, shares an investor perspective on these hot-button trends and how companies can ensure sound practices and stay ahead of the conversation.
If you’re joining us for our Board Leadership Forum in New York City, several panels will share effective techniques of high-performing boards. Strauss Zelnick, Founder of ZMC and Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Take-Two Interactive Software, will be featured in our keynote interview around board leadership.
As always, please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or suggestions.
