No Place to Hide for Boards

The pandemic has resulted in an increased focus on stakeholder capitalism and corporate stewardship. Business leaders tell Emma Carroll how they are responding to this pressure by revisiting their purpose and measuring the right things. 

Featuring commentary from:

Tom Beedham, Director, Board Mentors & NEDs, Criticaleye: The pandemic has resulted in even greater scrutiny on businesses when it comes to their commitment to long-term, sustainable value creation.

Sally Bridgeland, Chair, Impax Asset Management: NEDs are coming of age – this is our time, because we have the ability to stand back and retain a sense of perspective.

John Fallon, Chair, War Child UK: Change happens because real people demand it, not because you've designed the metric that requires you to do it.

Barend van Bergen, Partner, EY: NEDs must hold up a mirror and ask, ‘Are we measuring what is important, rather than what is easy?'
