CORPORATE GOVERNANCE BENCHMARKS 2014


For the 2014 report we have streamlined the presentation of key benchmarking data into three complementary sections.


Structure The shape of the board


This deals with the structural elements of board governance: the size of boards; the proportion of executive and non-executive members; and the number and type of committees that support the board.


Composition Who is on the board?


This off ers a demographic benchmark of the membership of boards across Europe. Details of age and gender are supplemented by benchmark data on the number of directors with CEO experience, the longevity of board service and the workload of directors in public companies.


Board evaluation How is the board performing?


Our focus here is on the board membership evaluation processes. In particular, how often performance is evaluated, by whom and who is held responsible for leading the process.
