As the stewards for long-term performance and resilience, the board should determine the most effective way to integrate climate considerations into its structure and committees.
Guiding questions
- How does your board ensure that climate considerations are given sufficient attention across the board (e.g. being discussed in the audit, risk, nomination, or remuneration committees)?
- How can executive and non-executive directors play complementary roles in meeting the board’s accountability with regards to climate?
FEATURED RESOURCE
