Observations
  • Principle 6 remained steady in 2023, with the greatest improvement coming from Standard 6.3 CEO Eligibility (3.46), with 46 NSO/Ds reporting that their organisation has a minimum period of 3 or more years before a former CEO is eligible to become a director. Encouragingly, only 7 NSO/Ds reported the lowest maturity score of 1 for this Standard, compared to 14 NSO/Ds in 2022.
  • In 2023, resources have been developed and released to support each of the Standards under Principle 6.
