Race and accountability in the boardroom

Considerations for boards to help drive progress on diversity and systemic change.

The wave of protests and social unrest following the death of George Floyd and others, along with the detrimental effects of COVID-19 and the economic downturn disproportionately affecting employees and communities of color, are driving a national dialogue and heightened consciousness of systemic racism and inequities. During a September 24 Board Leadership Center webcast, panelists discussed the pivotal question facing corporate America: What’s different this time?

This intensified awareness is driving critical conversations in boardrooms today: Is the company doing enough—using its financial resources, making its views known to policy makers, engaging in public/private partnerships—to make real and lasting changes to combat systemic bias and racism? Is the company leading by example— “walking the walk” —by driving diversity, equity, and inclusion throughout the business, including in the boardroom? 

Panelists discussed a number of considerations for boards to help drive diversity and systemic change.
