Boards face many challenges as they steer their companies through times of economic, geopolitical and technological change.
Each year, in our Issues for Boards publication, we offer practical pointers to boards and general counsel on topical questions and actions boards should take.
In the 2023 edition, we look at how boards of listed companies should prepare to handle an activist investor, and discuss how to draw up a good climate transition plan, the merits of involving investors in “say on climate” votes, and the increasing dangers of being accused of greenwashing.
Regulation is a recurring theme, and we look at the regulatory direction of travel in the UK, new hurdles for European M&A, and the approaching tide of regulation in the digital sphere.
