As an experienced supervisory board member, I believe that we need to be clear-headed, courageous and vigilant as never before. We see that even our most important ally, the USA, is overturning long-term agreements, weakening instead of upholding international law and applying power over principle. This behaviour at the top goes practically unchecked and can have a ripple effect.
These times demand that supervisory board members/ non-executive directors actively uphold their corporate governance and company values, support their management boards in resisting undue influence (both external and internal) and guard against any erosion of checks and balances of power.
Effective supervisory boards/ NEDs are essential in helping safeguard long-term corporate resilience despite trade tensions, geopolitical instability and pushback on DEI.
