BOARD POLICIESBoard policies are designed to help Boards, CEOs and staff leaders advance their organizations, make better collective decisions, and guide individual actions and behaviors. Board policies generally deal with the organization as a whole, establishing fundamental principles as a basis and guide for later action. Board policies are intended to be enduring rather than responses to a particular issue. Procedures are occasionally part of Board policies when such procedures bring clarity to the nature of the principle. More often, procedures are developed and refined administratively. Board policies should be focused on the key strategic, ethical and compliance issues that the board is responsible for. A sample list of these policies is provided below. Listed companies will have further policies required by various stock exchanges and regulatory authorities.
