Why Competent Boards?
For almost 30 years I have had the opportunity to advise global business leaders on how to turn sustainability into strong financial results.
Leaders are asking me for cutting-edge knowledge – and what could be better than offering that in a convenient and collaborative way.
Competent Boards is a place for future and current directors and business leaders who want to learn from each other, grow their competencies, and improve their organization’s resiliency. Read Mrs. Bank Jorgensen’s bio here.

“..a certification from Competent Boards would be extremely useful in giving comfort to investors, that they have at least begun their journey, and are looking at these issues with clarity, competence and a strategic view.”
