DCA has contributed to a joint submission as part of consultation on the 5th Edition of the ASX Corporate Governance Council Principles and Recommendations. The submission was made along with University of Sydney Business School, University of Technology Sydney Business School/Jumbunna Institute for Indigenous Education and Research. Our collective focus in this submission revolves around diversity in leadership, with specific commentary on key questions relating to this.
The Fifth Edition consultation draft emphasises enhancement of board diversity initiatives as one of the key areas being considered to adapt to changing investor and community expectations, fortify corporate governance practices, and enhance transparency for investors.
