Purpose and Stakeholder Governance Playbook: Your Guide to Enhancing Your Board’s Oversight of Purpose and Stakeholders

This guide was created to help senior leaders to better understand the role of corporate boards in governing the transition from a profit purpose to a social purpose, and from shareholder value creation to stakeholder value creation. It provides a set of guidelines that directors, boards, and governance professionals can use to improve board oversight of these transformative practices. The guide is organised into four sections that can help you to create a purpose governance roadmap; create a stakeholder governance roadmap; embed purpose and stakeholder oversight in committee mandates; and better learn about board approaches to purpose and stakeholder governance. Each of these sections features key responsibilities and questions that directors can use to frame engagement on the topic.
