Future of Governance International Conference aims at building an international platform for top practitioners and policymakers to share their insights and research findings, best practices, challenges, and future evolutions in the field of Governance.
It promotes responsible Corporate Governance, preparing companies and their boards for the contemporary challenges, adding value to businesses and local communities, contributing to fostering sustainable and responsible corporate behavior throughout global value chains.
For 2023’s edition, we chose to put the spotlight on driving sustainable governance in the boardroom. Because we believe that the success in harnessing the opportunities and benefits of a sustainable business development is inextricably linked with corporate governance and the boards need to ensure that sustainability approach is led from the top. The conference aims to immerse its audience in the multifaceted realities of ESG and give guidance in integration of sustainability in the company strategy for long-term success.

Building sustainability is about strategic thinking and how the organizations should look in the future, this is why this is a matter in the boardroom. Directors can take a longer-term view, beyond next year’s profits, and challenge top-management to do the same. Activating sustainable leadership requires a high coordination, starting with the board and senior leadership being aligned to the sustainability vision and roadmap, and allowing next-generation leaders and front-line employees to become conduits for embedding the sustainability agenda into the organization.

ESG stewardship means the understanding of how ESG expands your fiduciary and accountability duties in your role as steward of your company’s long-term success. While boards are seeking to meet the challenges and opportunities of ESG by establishing committees, they need to also focus on the moving parts of sustainability, increased education on relevant sustainability issues, and an enhanced mix of members of the board (individuals) who together challenge the status quo.
