Ten years of governance change in the SBF 120
On the occasion of the tenth edition of their Barometer of Responsible Governance, the French Institute of Directors (IFA) and Ethics & Boards take stock of how governance has evolved in CAC 40 and SBF 120 companies after the 2026 general meetings.
Parmi les grandes évolutions au cours de ces dix dernières années, les deux organismes pointent notamment une recomposition profonde de l’architecture des conseils du SBF 120, avec une dissociation des fonctions qui concerne aujourd’hui trois sociétés sur quatre, contre une sur deux en 2017.
Il ressort du baromètre que 68,8 % des nouveaux élus sont des primo-entrants dans le SBF 120, un niveau inférieur aux 75,3 % de 2017, et que les nouveaux élus ont cessé d’être plus divers que les conseils qu’ils rejoignent.
Autre point mis en avant par l’IFA et Ethics & Boards : 85,9 % des conseils du SBF 120 disposent d’un comité chargé des enjeux durables, contre 34,2 % en 2017, l’essentiel de ces créations étant d’ailleurs antérieur à l’application de la CSRD, adoptée en décembre 2022.
