Abstract

Various changes affecting a company may occur more frequently than laws, regulations, listing, reporting and other requirements and license conditions can be updated. The purpose of this Theme Paper is to explore areas on the agenda for the forthcoming 2023 London Global Convention on Corporate Governance and Sustainability. Participants will gather at a challenging time for communities, societies, Governments, and the international system, as well as for corporate boards as interested parties reflect on how greater stakeholder concern with environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors, the emergence of a ‘new world economy’, and common challenges might shape the future of corporate governance. The Theme Paper suggests issues and questions that directors, speakers and other participants might wish to consider ahead of the event and discuss with their peers when they meet, and it includes references to investigations and studies related to the convention’s agenda. Areas covered and to be discussed at the convention include board leadership and strategy for corporate governance advantage, transformational strategy towards excellence and future growth, ESG strategy and the board’s role in sustainability, enhancing board and committee performance, converting risks into opportunities, digitisation, cyber risk and resilience, and the future of corporate governance. Against a background of fundamental differences of values, perspectives and priorities, and of what is considered to be acceptable, legal and moral, that exist in today’s fractured world, addressing multiple and inter-related strategic risks and existential threats, achieving sustainable and inclusive outcomes, and our survival will require effective and responsible governance, innovation and leadership.
