Questions Boards Should Ask
Have you wondered in the wake of a major environment, social, and governance disaster, “How could the board not know this?”
As social practitioners our collective experience pointed to the possibility that
part of the challenge could be that board members do not necessarily know the questions, they should be asking their executive management to avoid and prevent such disasters.
To address this gap, the Social Practice Forum (SPF) identified 13 key questions aimed at guiding board members in addressing social issues within their organizations.
These questions serve as practical tools for board members to enhance their understanding and oversight of social performance, contributing to better-informed decision-making and a positive impact on stakeholders.
