Best Board Competition

Every year, since 2012, we have been awarding the prestigious Best Board & Best Board Member awards.

The Best Board award is a team award to appreciate extraordinary work of a collective administration body. The Best Board Member award, on the other hand, is awarded to an individual member of an administration. We recognize those companies that have managed to achieve extraordinary benefits in corporate governance and have contributed in significantly improving the quality of corporate governance.

 

The work of an administration is not just a world of decision-making and management. It is above all a world of people who have a great sense of responsibility and often solve problems in the fields of law, finance, academia, and ethics. That is why every year we award the Best Board and Best Board Member awards, to thank them for their demanding and responsible work, and for all the energy they give.” 

Kamil Čermák, President of the Czech Institute of Directors
