The Public Investment Fund (PIF) held the second edition of the "Public Investment Fund Forum for Board Members," with the participation of over 1,000 board members and company executives from the Kingdom and around the world. The aim was to align priorities, exchange insights, and enhance the PIF and its portfolio companies.
The forum, which took place in Riyadh, focused on enhancing the performance of company boards and reinforcing collaboration between the PIF's portfolio companies and other stakeholders. Members of boards and executives from more than 220 companies within the PIF's portfolio participated in the forum, including 103 companies established or launched by the fund as part of its objectives, which include driving economic transformation in the Kingdom.
The Governor of the Public Investment Fund, Yasir Al-Rumayyan, opened the forum with a speech outlining the PIF's vision for the roles of boards of directors, which includes three main priorities: brainstorming, strategic thinking, and ensuring the establishment of the correct governance framework, along with monitoring long-term performance while considering the general economic conditions and rapid technological developments. He emphasized that the fund and its ecosystem are capable of turning challenges into opportunities for leadership, growth, and innovation, in addition to the importance of enhancing partnerships among companies within the PIF's portfolio, adding that collaboration should be the main measure of success.
Al-Rumayyan urged board members to view the fund and its 220 portfolio companies as "one ecosystem" and to benefit from the diversity of strengths and expertise within the fund and its companies.
The forum witnessed discussions on many important topics, including the development of board roles and their impacts in light of economic transformation efforts, the continuous enhancement of the supervisory role during risk management periods, planning for business sustainability pathways and succession plans, and exploring the links between governance, artificial intelligence, and other emerging technologies.
Participants emphasized the importance of adopting a mindset focused on prioritizing growth, alongside exploring significant opportunities for business development through strengthening cooperative ties both within the fund's ecosystem and with the private sector.
The Public Investment Fund has developed a comprehensive governance guide for its wholly-owned companies to ensure they operate according to best practices and standards. The fund's strategy for portfolio companies emphasizes merit and performance quality as fundamental criteria for employing competencies, clarifying the independence of the roles and responsibilities of boards of directors on one hand, and executive management on the other; aiming to ensure creativity and enhance accountability.
The forum is part of the Public Investment Fund's program for institutional excellence. In 2020, the fund established the "Governance Center," a specialized platform for guidance and development for board members within the fund's portfolio companies and beyond; aimed at creating sustainable value in the Kingdom and the world through advanced corporate governance practices.
The center provides its services through three main business tracks, including development programs, consulting services, and research and thought leadership. It equips board members and company executives with the tools and knowledge that continuously enhance governance effectiveness in their companies. The center offers over 70 specialized programs covering a range of key topics, including listing processes, sustainability, board effectiveness, and oversight of financial audit processes.
The Public Investment Fund is working to disseminate best practices in corporate governance to stimulate innovation within the local private sector and increase the Kingdom's attractiveness to international companies looking to conduct business.
The fund is among the most influential global investors and is working to empower new sectors and opportunities that contribute to shaping the global economy and driving economic transformation in the Kingdom.
The "Public Investment Fund Forum for Board Members," which launched its first edition in 2023, continues to serve as a pillar for enhancing cooperation and exchanging insights among boards of directors across the Public Investment Fund's operational ecosystem. It aims to promote dialogue and knowledge exchange on effective governance methods and lead boards of directors at both regional and global levels.
