This week, we highlight a recent Russell Reynolds report on “Global and Regional Trends in Corporate Governance for 2016”, discussing how institutional investors are holding boards increasingly accountable for company performance and demanding greater transparency and engagement with directors.
The report focuses on a few key markets, including the United States, where it expect boards to face an increasing call for accountability and disclosure about strategy, environmental risk factors, board leadership roles, the process used to assess the board, and details of board and CEO succession plans.
