Criteria
Good governance is more than just ticking the boxes, it is about building and nurturing a healthy culture, ensuring engagement with investors, customers, the workforce and all stakeholders and maintaining key governance virtues such as evaluation, audit and risk, independence, diversity and strong succession planning. The ever-increasing importance of a company’s ESG journey – its Environmental, Social and Governance responsibilities is key criteria for the judges. The winning company will apply the principles of their chosen governance code in a way that shareholders can evaluate. They will go beyond the minimum requirements and demonstrate the actions the board has taken in the year and how these link to the business strategy and purpose. Communication on how the board fulfils its role in cascading the tone from the top throughout the organisation and how it employs social and environmental governance through engagement with wider stakeholders will be critical to success in this award category.
