Event Details
Join Dorset Chamber, in partnership with Dorset Council and BCP Council, for this informative workshop on defining your responsibilities as a company director as part of our ESG programme for Dorset businesses.
Being a company director means taking on many key responsibilities within a business. However many directors are unaware of or do not have a full understanding of their responsibilities as a director. Such responsibilities relate to and arise within the following areas:
- Health and safety
- The Bribery Act
- The Data Protection Act
- Wrongful Trading
- Company accounts and reports
- Personal guarantees
- Conflicts of interest
- The environment
- The obtainment of D&O insurance
The session will also include a focus on how to conduct a boardroom meeting to ensure successful corporate governance including distinguishing between board meetings and shareholder meetings, keeping important board discussions and decisions within meetings that are subject to appropriate and official record keeping (i.e. minutes) and when conducting boardroom meetings virtually or by way of hybrid form, ensuring that meetings allow for the same resulting contribution and decisions to be made as though they were held in person.
Join us for this workshop with Partner and Head of the Corporate and Commercial team Grant Esterhuizen of Lester Aldridge where we will explore the essential responsibilities of being a company director and discuss ways in which we can strengthen governance in our businesses.
The event will also offer the opportunity for a Q and A discussion and we will signpost to further support available.
This free in-person event is open to all Dorset businesses and booking is essential.
