The Chartered Governance Institute 2021 Report on the effectiveness of independent board evaluation in the UK listed sector

On 20 January 2021 The Chartered Governance Institute published the final report arising from its Review of the effectiveness of independent board evaluation in the UK listed sector. We welcome this as a significant step forward which will help to bring about consistently high standards in a still-evolving but already important discipline, and would encourage BEIS to accept its recommendations and set out a clear timetable for implementation. We will fully comply with the new Code of Practice for Board Reviewers, which very largely accords with our current practice, but does point us to some valuable refinements. Consequently, we will be making some changes to our client contracts and enlarging our website to give more information on our credentials, approach and independence.
