Singapore’s pool of board talent is growing. According to CBD data, nearly half of all board appointments made at the 100 largest companies listed on the Singapore Exchange (SGX:S68) (SGX) in 2022 went to directors without prior experience at SGX-listed issuers.
The Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants (ISCA) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Council for Board Diversity (CBD) to strengthen support for directors.
According to a May 7 statement, the two parties will work together to advance board diversity — across skills, perspectives, experience, gender and backgrounds.
