Institute of Directors (IOD) was established in India on 12 July 1990, as a 'not for profit', apex association of Corporate Directors under the India's 'Societies Registration Act XXI of 1860' to improve their professional competence. It has since grown to associate with more than 31,000 senior executives from Govt, PSU and Private organisations. IOD organises a number of international events each year, in India and certain other select countries at UK, UAE and Singapore.
IOD has over the years grown to associate with around 30,000 senior executives

Offers a wide range of Training Programmes for Company Directors & Sr. Executives
The enactment of the Companies Act, 2013 has brought a number of provisions which will help the directors and the companies to ensure better corporate governance. The learning curve of understanding the functioning of the board is considerably shortened by putting in place a well-structured training programme for all directors, focused at bringing forth the best practices and qualitatively informing the directors of the legal as well as socio-economic regime they are functioning in. IOD has also setup a special wing called 'Organization for Non-Executive Independent Directors', mandated to look after the placement of Independent Directors in India.

A number of professional books & handbooks to keep the directors and boardroom community updated
Prepared boards recognise that radical measures can arouse strong emotions. They identify and monitor supporters, opponents and potential allies.
In a world that is increasingly interconnected, the challenges we face are no longer confined by national borders. Climate change, environmental degradation and biodiversity loss are issues that demand solutions rooted in local contexts while providing global solutions. Now more than ever, it is crucial that nations come together to drive sustainability.
The IOD, India, organised its 2023 annual London Global Convention on 'Corporate Governance and Sustainability' in London on October 17–20, 2023. The theme of this year's convention was 'Board's Tryst with ESG and Making Corporate Governance Work in the New World Economy'.
In this time of darkness, Meaningful Business 100 leaders provide inspiration for how to advance the UN Global Goals, including gender empowerment, while filling gaps in education and creating new products and services to address global challenges.
Directors face multiple challenges, imperatives, and stakeholder requirements. These can arise from internal business model and strategy drivers and/or external developments in the legal, regulatory, and geopolitical contexts in which companies operate.
Rarely a day goes by without the financial news reporting on adverse reactions by businesses, trade associations, lobbyists, think tanks, and politicians around the world about the requirements for commercial entities to file reports disclosing the extent to which their activities had an impact on Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) matters in the local, national, or global economic landscape.
What is Governance?
Governance has been defined to refer to structures and processes that are designed to ensure accountability, transparency, responsiveness, rule of law, stability, equity and inclusiveness, empowerment, and broad-based participation.
Leaders everywhere are facing a business landscape that is changing at an unprecedented rate. In this new environment, it is the organisations capable of continually and seamlessly adapting to change that will succeed and be the champions of tomorrow.
Establishing and embedding sound risk management practices enables organisations to become more resilient, achieve their financial and strategic goals, and take advantage of opportunities that arise.
In the context of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) reporting, materiality assessment can be referred to as a process designed to gather insight on the relative importance of specific ESG issues through stakeholder engagement.
