Webinar: ecoDa 2025 Board Evaluation Guidelines

ecoDa represents more than twenty national institutes of directors and speaks for around fifty thousand board members across Europe. This makes the organisation a central force in shaping modern governance and raising standards across markets.

In this recorded webinar, Béatrice and Maria walk through ecoDa’s refreshed guidance for board evaluations. They explain what has changed, why the new recommendations matter, and how European boards can bring their practices closer to a more consistent and credible standard. Rob and Malin then take these ideas into the practical world and show how forward thinking chairs and governance teams can apply the guidance without unnecessary complexity.

The discussion highlights a shift towards clearer expectations around independence, transparency and meaningful follow through. Evaluations should no longer feel like a box ticking exercise. Instead, they should help boards strengthen their capabilities and increase trust among stakeholders.
