The use of board committees in Denmark have often been characterized by habitual thinking. Either you have had no standing committees on the board at all – or you have almost everywhere stuck to the three that are covered by the Corporate Governance recommendations (audit, nomination, and remuneration committees). However, with strong inspiration from abroad, we are now seeing the use of several types of committees – e.g., within strategy, innovation, diversity, sustainability, digitization, etc. Based on this we take a closer look at how the committees can best contribute to value creation – but also at how to avoid the committees becoming an excuse for abdication of responsibility.
