The stakeholder voice in board decision making

Effective stakeholder engagement is key to maintaining strategic and informed decision making at board level.

So vital is this to the long-term sustainability and success of an organisation that the government has announced it will be introducing secondary legislation to further strengthen the engagement between boards and stakeholders. Relevant companies will have to explain how their directors are actively engaging with employee and stakeholder interests.

And whilst the ways in which boards engage with stakeholders will vary based on the nature and size of the business, there are a number of core principles that can be applied to most situations. Here, through real life case studies, delegates can look at some of the latest innovative approaches undertaken by companies looking to enhance the quality of their stakeholder engagement.

 

Delegates will also take a more in-depth look at the key points in the latest guidance produced by ICSA and the Investment Association.

Speakers include:

• Chris Hodge, Policy Advisor, ICSA
• Pamela Coles, Company Secretary, Rolls-Royce plc
• Kirsty Britz, Director of Sustainable Banking, RBS
