About us
The European Confederation of Directors' Associations (ecoDa) is a not-for-profit association founded in December 2004 under the laws of Belgium. Through its national institutes of directors (the main national institutes existing in Europe ), ecoDa represents around fifty-five thousand board directors from across the EU. ecoDa's member organisations represent board directors from the largest public companies to the smallest private firms, both listed and unlisted. ecoDa's mission is - to promote the role of directors, to develop professionalism and European governance standards by acting as a standing body where national experiences in terms of corporate governance are shared and discussed, by developing recommendations and education programmes in complement with those developed by its members, - to influence the European decision-making process related to corporate governance by reacting directly to the European institutions or by pro-actively taking initiatives of actions aimed at generating European debate and reflection on corporate governance, - to provide services to its members, mainly by providing information regarding relevant European issues, - to facilitate at European level the creation and the development of national director institutes dealing with corporate governance and attract new members in order to strengthen the European representativeness of the Confederation.

A new worth-reading publication developed by Accountancy Europe with the support of ecoDa a.s.b.l - The European Confederation of Directors Associations ECIIA | European Confederation of Institutes of Internal Auditing and Chapter Zero Brussels
Now available on our website ➡ ESG governance: six ways for boards to lead the sustainability transition🌍 As public concern about the climate crisis, environmental degradation, and social inequalities grows, businesses are facing increasing pressure from regulators to address their impacts on society and the environment. 🌱 But, sustainability isn't just about compliance — it's a chance for new value creation. Corporate boards play a crucial role in steering their organisations through this transition. 📄 In cooperation with Chapter Zero Brussels, ECIIA | European Confederation of Institutes of Internal Auditing, and ecoDa a.s.b.l - The European Confederation of Directors Associations, we've issued a new paper to support board members with effective ESG governance. Based on interviews with board members and sustainability experts, this publication shares success stories, challenges, and lessons learned. 👏 A special thank you to Professor Mervyn King SC for contributing a foreword to the publication! ✨ Read it now: https://lnkd.in/dA-HgSF5. #NewPublication #Sustainability #ESG #CorporateGovernance #BoardLeadership #ClimateAction Johan Barros, Iryna DE SMEDT, Xavier BEDORET, John Bendermacher, Jean-Christophe Charlier, Catherine Delanghe, Gerrit Jan Konijnenberg, Tina Mavraki CFA, Nicolas NAUDIN, Maria Pierdicchi, Livia Piermattei, Mercedes Sanchez Varela, Beate Sjåfjell, Silvia Stefini, Paul Symons, Cristina Vicini

👉 Are you a reliable digital party? To find out, join the first webinar of a new series organized by ecoDa a.s.b.l - The European Confederation of Directors Associations together with Mazars ⏳ Boards and their supervisors are confronted with new responsibilities and challenges regarding compliance and managing digital risks, including internal and external reporting. With the introduction of new digital related EU legislations (like DORA, NIS2, CSA, DSA, DMA and the AI Act), the requirements for reporting on digital risks and related assurance have heavily increased. 🌎 The common rationale behind these legislations is to protect our society and economy from new risks spreading from the use of connected or shared information technology. Interconnected digital systems introduce risks at individual business level, for business’ ecosystems and in, a broader perspective, at macro-economic and societal levels – the so-called systemic risks. In this webinar, we’ll discuss how boards can address these new challenges and the impact on the choice of the (IT) auditors involved. 📅 Date: June 5th, 11-12.30 CET ✏ Registration: https://lnkd.in/ezZkCkfy 🧐 Speakers: Jan Matto Petra Terasaho
