Save the Date for our upcoming event which will examine stakeholder engagement as a board-level governance responsibility. Taking place from 8:00am to 9:45am on Wednesday, 11th November 2026.
Boards make decisions that can have a profound effect on people’s lives, livelihoods and confidence in organisations. Whether the issue is a major infrastructure project, the delivery of essential services or the treatment of customers by a financial institution, trust can be damaged when people feel unheard, poorly informed or unfairly treated.
Using examples from financial services, housing, transport, water, energy and public services, this discussion will examine stakeholder engagement as a board-level governance responsibility. It will consider how boards can ensure that concerns are heard early, that management provides a candid assessment of stakeholder sentiment and emerging risks, and that people affected by decisions are treated fairly.
The discussion will also explore how boards should balance the interests of different stakeholders with the wider public interest, and how organisations can make legitimate and defensible decisions when consensus cannot be reached.
