実践から語る「社外取締役の役割と責務」


The Role and Significance of An Outside Board Member

 

The role of independent board members is becoming increasingly significant. Corporate Governance Code’s latest revision this year encompasses diversity, publicizing outside board members’ skills and capabilities, requirement of 1/3 or more independent board members, etc.

 

Two celebrated HBS alums who serve on multiple companies as independent board member have kindly agreed to join us on 5/20 ZOOM session. Masako Egawa (MBS 1986) and Takashi Mitachi (MBA 1992) will share with us their perspectives on “what is required to be an outside board member” and “how to add value during board meetings and the responsibilities of an outside board member“ based on their current experience. There will also be a Q&A session. We hope many of you can join us on this valuable occasion.  This event will be held in JAPANESE.
