- The pandemic crisis has verified business continuity plans, contingency plans, crisis management skills and effective communication. This obviously means new, specific requirements towards the members of supervisory boards, whose support for the management should be considerably more extensive than in the ordinary circumstances. Looking at the longer horizon - 5 - 10 years - the environment, operating conditions, regulations and social expectations are changing, and therefore, functioning of supervisory boards is also changing. Their members probably also have a larger awareness of their role and obligations - said prof. Marcinkowska during the "Konferencja Rada Nadzorcza".

According to the winner, the need for meetings and discussions pertaining to corporate governance results from the continuous evolution of the issue and the necessity to adapt to the changing reality and legal framework.
