Chair & Board

Canada

This is particularly true in an environment of elevated transparency around board compensation, performance, constitution and responsibility. In Canada, companies must not only disclose the composition of their boards—they must also explain the steps they’re taking to diversify membership by gender, ethnicity, background and age.

As boards work to address the mounting needs of more active shareholders, and more vocal stakeholder groups, this diversity becomes even more critical. Add in a rapidly-shifting board mandate that is extending beyond traditional financial oversight to issues such as climate change, cyber security and risk management, and the need for strong board membership becomes even more imperative.
