KARACHI: Pakistan’s corporate boards need to move beyond compliance and play a more active role in addressing economic uncertainty, technological disruption, and sustainability, business leaders and governance experts said at the Pakistan Institute of Corporate Governance (PICG) Directors’ Summit 2026.
Held under the theme “The Showcase: Your Leadership, Your Impact,” the summit brought together more than 350 directors, business leaders, regulators and senior executives to discuss corporate governance, leadership and institutional resilience.
PICG Chairman Muhammad Ashraf Bawany said corporate governance was increasingly about building trust, creating sustainable value and strengthening institutions rather than simply meeting compliance requirements.
PICG CEO Shafaq Fauzil Azim also addressed the gathering, which included a tribute to the late Dr Shamshad Akhtar for her contribution to Pakistan’s economic development, governance and public institutions.
