Under the International Corporate Governance Network's (ICGN) Global Governance Principles, a board chair's independence is most likely to be questioned if the person:
A.
is a representative of the state.
B.
has a mandate for a short tenure.
C.
is a former non-executive employee of the company.
A board chair’s independence is most likely to be questioned if they were previously a non-executive employee of the company, as this creates potential conflicts of interest in their decision-making. (ESGTextBook[PallasCatFin], Chapter 5, Page 231)
