Boardroom Brief: Week commencing 4 March 2024

This is a service specifically targeted at the needs of busy non-executive directors (NEDs). We aim to give you a ‘heads up’ on the things that matter for NEDs in the week ahead - all in two minutes or less. In this edition, we discuss the release of a consultation paper on the 5th edition of the Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations by the ASX Corporate Governance Council, the gender pay gap indicated by the data released by the Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA), and the greenwashing-related infringement notice issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) to Melbourne Securities Corporation Limited (Melbourne Securities). In Over the Horizon, we consider the latest development in the climate-related disclosure space in the United States.
