Guide Pratique du Conseil d’administration
The Board of Directors has the essential mission of putting in place good corporate governance practices and effective management. This book begins with an introduction that provides an overview of the duties and responsibilities of the board of directors, as well as the rights, duties and responsibilities of the directors, and then proposes 70 models of practices, tools and checklists for the attention of the directors and all other governance stakeholders within the board. These models can be downloaded from the website of the Schulthess editions.
Board ViewsFrom Corporate Governance of Sustainability to Sustainable Corporate Governance
What is the best way to integrate sustainability into the corporate governance framework? Boards of directors have chosen two distinct paths: the functional way, which focuses on corporate governance of sustainability, and the foundational approach, which leads to sustainable corporate governance. This article assesses the merits and limitations of both approaches and calls for a transition to sustainable governance. This requires board members to engage regularly with stakeholders and to continuously debate the underlying assumptions to further develop the governance framework as required.
