Dr Irene-marie Esser was invited to present a paper at the recent International Corporate Governance & Law Forum held at the School of Law at Leeds University on 15-16 January. The event was supported by Deakin University, Australia and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (http://2018-leeds.icgl.org.au/). The Forum was on “Boards of Directors: Composition and Process”.
Dr Esser’s presentation was entitled “Disclosure vs Participation: Models of Stakeholder Representation in Corporate Decision-Making”. The question that this paper dealt with was, that with high levels of disclosure (providing stakeholders with information on how their interests were considered as per s 414 of the CA2006), whether or not additional reform is needed, by way of legislative amendments or soft law, that will increase stakeholder participation resulting in an engaged stakeholder base during board decision-making?
