As highlighted by Aronsson et al., (1997) environmental economics literature analyses, technological change, wellbeing measurement, sustainability, externality and green accounting within the framework of general symmetry models.
According to Peter Jones, David Hillier and Daphne Comfort, (2014) environmental Resources Management Limited, suggested that Tesco should think about reviewing their carbon footprint boundary of reporting to include additional indirect greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) (e.g. emissions from recycling and disposal of waste) and that the business should struggle to improve data collection and reporting for forms of business travel additional than rail and air travel. The Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors’ Reports) Regulations 2013 requires mentioned companies to report on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for which they are responsible. Tesco believes in sustainable growth, and identifies that failing to minimise environmental impacts will result in inefficiency and increased costs. According to Tesco Annual Report (2013), supermarkets need to reduce their Carbon footprint has never been more difficult, but applying eco-friendly creativities is a complex process.

    Ralph Nader, Mark Green and Joel Seligman, in an excerpt from Taming the Giant Corporation (1976, found in Honest Work by Ciulla, Martin and Solomon), take the current role of the company board of directors and suggest changes that should be made to make the board to be efficient. They claim the current makeup of the board does not necessarily do justice to the company because “in nearly every large American business…there exists a management autocracy” (Nader, Green and Seligman, 1976, p.570). The main resolution they present is to make the board more democratic with the betterment of the company as its first priority. Currently the board no longer oversees operations, or elects top company executives and they are no longer involved in the business operations to the extent they should be. Nadar, Green and Seligman argue that that all of these things need to be changed. For a corporation so large to be successful there must be separation of powers just as there is in any current government system ( p.571). They claim this is the only and best way to success (Nader, Green and Seligman, 1976, p.570-571).

  • Boardroom Diversity In Corporate Governance

    1433 Words  | 3 Pages

    The debate whether diversity is beneficial to corporate governance or not has persisted over the years. In this context, the concept of diversity relates to boardroom composition and the wide-ranging blend of characteristics, expertise, and attributes supplied by individual board members (Grosvold, Brammer and Rayton, 2007, p. 344). What is more, diversity in corporate boards of directors can assume a variety of forms, counting individual demographics such as, nationality, race, ethnicity, and gender (Singh, Terjesen, and Vinnicombe, 2008, p.48). Boardroom diversity in listed companies is dictated by an array of diverse factors, including profitability, company size, as well as the size of the board (the number of non-executive and executive directors) (Grosvold, Brammer and Rayton, 2007, p.346). In listed companies, the board of directors usually serves at least four significant roles i.e. controlling as well as monitoring managers, providing counsel and information to managers, ensuring conformity with relevant laws as well as regulations, plus connecting the corporation to the external business environment (Carter et al. 2010, p.398).

    Organizations that only have top management as the board members are more susceptible to accounting malpractices. Members of the board should preferably own shares in the company to ensure diligence when it comes to the interests of the company. Apart from the Board of Governors, there should also be an audit committee in place to oversee the financial dealings of the bank. Members of the board and the audit committee should have basic financial knowledge. Some of the members should also be experts in finances so that they can detect any anomaly that may take place in terms of financial reporting. An overhaul of the regulatory framework is required to empower authorities to intervene immediately, and make improvements. New technology is required. Manual antiquated processes should be eliminated because this causes greater human error and poor

    According to Carol Padgett (2012, 1), “companies are important part of our daily lives…in today’s economy, we are bound together through a myriad of relationships with companies”. The board of directors remain the highest echelon of management in any company. It is the “group of executive and non-executive directors which forms corporate strategy and is responsible for monitoring performance on the behalf of shareholders” (Padgett, 2012:1). Boards are clearly critical to the operation of companies and they are endowed with substantial power in the statute (Companies Act, 2014). The board is responsible for directing and steering the company. The board accomplishes this by business planning and risk management through proper corporate governance.
