Com’è strutturata la corporate governance nei Paesi europei? E qual è il ruolo del CdA nelle diverse legislazioni nazionali?
EcoDa – della quale Nedcommunity è membro per l’Italia – ha pubblicato un video di due minuti che spiega lo scopo, la funzione e le modalità operative di un Consiglio di amministrazione nei diversi Paesi europeo.
Il messaggio è chiaro: manca ancora una normativa uniforme e coerente per garantire la buona Governance societaria all’interno dell’Unione europea.
Un’ottima sintesi da guardare!

ecoDa recommends that Corporate Governance Codes ensure the independence of board evaluation services in order to avoid potential conflict of interests. Good governance practices should include a cooling-off period for headhunters and rotation of commercial board evaluation services.
Corporate Governance codes are often silent on any possible risk of conflicts of interests when board evaluation is conducted by an external consultant.
“For reasons of independence, one should be cautious when a commercial consulting firm provides other consultancy services at the same time as the board evaluation takes place. Or when the same consulting firm is consistently selected to provide the evaluation of the board over a longer period”, underlined Rytis Ambrazevicius, Chair of ecoDa.
ecoDa is calling for:
“A credible and professional board evaluation is key when looking for board performance to develop and excel”, concluded Béatrice Richez-Baum, Director General, ecoDa.

Responsabilità maggiori, ma compensi inferiori.
E’ questa una delle principiali evidenze emerse dall’indagine condotta da EcoDa, la Confederazione Europea delle associazioni dei consiglieri di amministrazione (di cui Nedcommunity è membro per l’Italia) e WTW su 185 aziende in quindici paesi europei sul ruolo e le remunerazioni dei consiglieri indipendenti.
Oltre a una presentazione della situazione attuale, lo studio offre spunti di riflessione che le aziende possono prendere in considerazione in base alle specificità del proprio mercato nazionale (ad esempio un diverso equilibrio tra compenso annuale e compensi dei comitati). Le conclusioni dell’indagine invitano i CdA a condurre una revisione dettagliata dell’impegno in termini di tempo, carico di lavoro e compensi spettanti agli amministratori, per garantire che vi sia un adeguato equilibrio tra i diversi membri.
