IoD Code of Conduct for Directors Comments by Adrian Pryce DL
This is an excellent contribution by the Institute of Directors (IoD), in support of its mission of generating 'Better Directors for a Better World'.
The IoD Code of Conduct for Directors is essential reading and guidance for all current and aspiring directors – and business students!
Take a close look at Principle 6 – Responsible Business – integrating ethical and sustainable practices into business decision-making, taking into account societal and environmental impacts.
To help bring it to life, the IoD Sustainability Group offers guidance and resources to help develop a strategic governance approach to directors’ wider social – and sustainability – responsibilities, as well as offering support for the operational implementation that can enhance your business productivity, resilience and profitability. Members and non-members of the IoD are all welcome. Follow the Group here.
