We were thrilled to bring together over 100 leading business figures at 116 Pall Mall to officially launch the IoD’s Code of Conduct for Directors!
This landmark event underscored our commitment to fostering integrity, growth and trust in the UK business sector.
The event featured insightful panel discussions exploring how businesses can align growth with public confidence, addressing crucial questions on the role of ethics in building sustainable wealth. Our keynote session delved into balancing economic revitalisation with restoring trust in the wealth-creating sector—a conversation our attendees found both timely and impactful.
We’re especially proud to have introduced the Code of Conduct for Directors, a guiding framework developed under the leadership of Lord Iain McNicol of West Kilbride. This Code is designed to support directors in navigating complex decisions, helping them uphold a standard of ethical leadership that strengthens public trust.
A heartfelt thank you to our inspiring speakers and to 116 Pall Mall for hosting such a momentous occasion.

🤔 As the director, officer or senior leader in charge of an organisation, you play a crucial role in leading the strategic direction and overseeing the operations of a company. However, you may not always have insight into every decision or be involved in the day-to-day running of the business.
The demanding nature of the role often comes with greater risks and, in some circumstances, directors can be held personally liable for their actions or if mistakes are made on their watch.
➡ Read our article: https://www.iod.com/resources/what-is-directors-and-officers-insurance-and-do-i-need-it/
It could be a good idea to protect yourself with directors’ and officers’ insurance, which can help with the costs of defending against claims and the losses suffered because of them.
