Stor US-pensionskasse: Sådan ser vores drømmebestyrelse ud

Den store amerikanske pensionskasse for offentligt ansatte Calsters har netop udarbejdet en vejledning til de børsnoterede selskaber med en vejledning i hvordan de sammensætter drømmebestyrelsen: “Leadership, diversity, board succession planning and accountability measures are among the soughtafter qualities CalSTRS outlined in its publication, Best Practices in Board Composition. The document offers insight into what institutional investors such as CalSTRS are looking for in a quality corporate governance structure. Corporate directors can use this resource to organize their boards—given the trend of increased shareholder scrutiny of boards’ actions and performance.“We think these best practices will help corporate leaders decide how best to structure their boards to optimize long-term corporate performance,” said CalSTRS Corporate Governance Director Anne Sheehan. “At CalSTRS, we invest across the entire market and do so for the long term. The proper structure and governance of a board is key to the successful performance of a company. On the other hand, as long-term shareholders, we want to assure corporate leaders have the right tools to make the best decisions on our behalf.”
