Finance Watch, webinar 13 ottobre: corporate governance
Finance Watch: la trasparenza è importante, ma non sostituisce un’azione reale per cambiare il comportamento aziendale e migliorare la responsabilità aziendale. Gli scienziati avvertono sempre più dell’urgente necessità di un cambiamento trasformativo su processi e comportamenti a tutti i livelli: individuo, comunità, imprese, istituzioni e governi. Non abbiamo tempo da perdere: serve un cambiamento trasformativo.
Per contribuire a creare supporto per i cambiamenti normativi critici necessari per spostare l’economia e il sistema finanziario verso la sostenibilità, il 13 ottobre Finance Watch ospiterà un webinar (in lingua inglese) sulla prossima iniziativa legislativa sulla governance aziendale sostenibile. L’evento mira a discutere gli elementi fondamentali che la proposta dovrebbe contenere e spiegare perché la riforma del governo societario è essenziale per raggiungere gli obiettivi europei di sostenibilità.

Finance Watch
Finance Watch is committed to transparency, independence and good governance.
The governance structure – described in detail in our Articles of Association has been designed with these values in mind and allows for a clear separation of responsibilities.
General Assembly
The General Assembly is Finance Watch’s highest governance body. Both types of Member (Member Organisations and Individual Members) are entitled to attend and vote via separate voting colleges. The votes of each college are weighted so that votes from Member organisations together represent 56% of the total vote, and votes from individual Members together represent 44% (apart from for Board elections – see below). The General Assembly meets at least once a year to debate and approve Finance Watch’s key action priorities, to approve the budget and accounts, elect the Board of Directors, and approve the membership of the Committee of Transparency and Independence (CTI).
Board of Directors
The Board comprises eight Directors including six elected by and from the General Assembly (four Member organisations and two individual Members) and two independent Directors (“external personalities”), who are selected by a nomination committee comprising a representative from each college and a chair, appointed by the Board, and voted by the General Assembly. Board directors, who are not paid, may serve for two consecutive mandates of three years and may stand for election / appointment again after a two year absence following the end of their second mandate. The weighted college voting system does not apply to elections for internal Board Directors, who are elected directly within each voting college.
