Beyond Traditional Corporate Governance – Sustainability & innovation
Organized by EY, ecoDa and the Slovenian Directors’ Association (SDA) and in partnership with ACCA, BusinessEurope and EuropeanIssuers, the European Corporate Governance Conference 2021 - an accompanying event to the Slovenian Presidency of the Council of the EU - brings together decision-makers (European Commission and European Parliament), academics and key business experts from EU and beyond.
A discussion about Corporate Governance along the lines of Sustainability & Innovation is quite timely given the European Commission ongoing initiatives related to the European Green Deal and the Capital Markets Union, such as Sustainable Corporate Governance, Corporate Sustainable Reporting and external audit.
This year the Conference will discuss the following:
- How Corporate Governance and reporting obligations can increase understanding of the changing scene and new challenges in order to better foster the long-term existence of companies?
- Are we witnessing a real paradigm shift?
- How to ensure that companies do not just "green" their activities but embed new strategic models?
