FutureBoards Cross-Border Dialogue - Women in Finance // Boards & Top Management

Achieving broader diversity among its board directors and top management teams is a means to ensure that the company is better prepared for rapid changes in markets, technology, economy and regulatory frameworks.

As the pace to improve the gender balance on boards and in top management teams are depressingly slow, we are determined to help speed the process. By exchanging experience, knowledge and ideas across borders, we believe that we can move faster.

That is why we are inviting a group of female leaders within the Norwegian financial industry, to visit financial institutions in London and to meet with fellow leaders. The purpose of the tour is to gather insight on activities and actions that actually works.

CO-HOSTS AND CO-ORGANIZERS

The study tour is supported by ABGSC Women in Finance Foundation.

The FutureBoards Cross Border Dialogue is co-hosted by The Royal Norwegian Embassy in London and Kvinner i Finans Charter (Women in Finance Charter Norway), and kindly supported by ABG Sundal Collier Women in Finance Foundation.

NÆRINGSLIVET OG MENNESKERETTIGHETER - SHOULD WE STAY OR SHOULD WE GO?

Om arrangementet

Ett år med åpenhetsloven: La oss se på realitetene i næringslivets menneskerettsansvar. 

Åpenhetsloven har satt et sterkere søkelys på næringslivets menneskerettsansvar og medfører nye lovpålagte plikter for selskapet og styret . Både de lovpålagte redegjørelsene fra bedriftene og konkrete erfaringer fra virksomheter som har jobbet lenge med sitt menneskerettsansvar gir innsikt i realitetene i dette ansvaret.

  • Hva er menneskerettigheter?

  • Hvilke rettigheter må norske virksomheter i praksis møte i ulike markeder?

  • Hvordan håndteres de, og hvordan møtes forventingene om å respektere rettighetene

  • Hva er styrets rolle og ansvar?

 Vi samler virksomheter, ledere, og sivilsamfunn som gir innblikk i de reelle dilemmaene, utfordringene og mulighetene. 

Medvirkende

  • Kjersti Fløgstad, Direktør, Nobel Peace Center

  • Frode Elgsem, President, Rafto Foundation for Human Rights

  • Therese Jebsen, Senior Advisor and Program Manager Business and Human Rights, Rafto Foundation for Human Rights

TOPPLEDERDEBATTEN 2023 - TILLIT I TOPPETASJENE

Fremtidens toppledelse - hvilken kompetanse, holdninger og verdier trenger vi i toppetasjene i norsk næringsliv?

Debatten vil sette fokus på næringslivets rolle i samfunnet og styrets og toppledelsens ansvar for langsiktig verdiskaping for alle. Utfordringene var allerede store nok – og så kom pandemien. Er næringslivets toppledere rustet for å bidra til oppnåelse av bærekraftsmålene i historiens største endrings-tiår? Hva slags kompetanse, holdninger og verdier trenger vi på toppen av beslutningspyramiden, og hvordan kan nordiske selskaper ta internasjonalt lederskap i dette arbeidet?

Directors in a 4D World
Digital, Decentralised, Decarbonised & Diverse


As economies recover, organisations face challenges from shifting expectations of both internal and external stakeholders. Businesses have to rethink how to create opportunities in a disrupted and decentralised world.

T: +65 6422 1188

For more information please see the event page here

BREAKOUT TRACKS

Track 1: Decarbonised
Every business is deeply intertwined with environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues. A strong mandate around ESG helps businesses tap into new markets and expand into existing ones. With good governance and a concern for the environment and the wider society, businesses can create new opportunities for growth.
 
Track 2: Decentralised & Digital
Blockchain and artificial intelligence (AI) have fuelled the transition from the digital world to the metaverse. Businesses can take advantage of these leaps in innovation to achieve growth and sustainability for the future.
 
Track 3: Diversity
As businesses slowly recover from the pandemic, rebuilding and reinvention must focus on core resources. Human capital management and employee engagement are premised on emerging themes of diversity, equality and inclusivity; reskilling and upskilling; health, safety and well-being.
