In this video, Karina reinforces the importance of the "social" component of ESG. Having founded her own board search and CEO advisory firm, she outlines the value of having a diverse board and her recommendations on how to have a successful board during uncertain times.
Overview
Change the Race Ratio is a campaign to increase racial and ethnic participation in British businesses. Nine banks have for the first time designated NEDs with responsibility for employee relations and representation. The campaign uses the same instruments as for instance, the Women in Finance Charter: transparency, evidence of change, accountability. The City produces an oversupply of talented executives who have made more than enough money. To recruit diverse boards, you need a mix of skills. Focus on the skills of candidates, not on their experience.
