IRU’s main governing board has made significant decisions on further measures to reinforce accountability and transparency.
Meeting yesterday in Geneva, IRU’s main governing board, the Presidential Executive, has made significant decisions on further measures to reinforce accountability and transparency, finalise the restructuring of historical investments, and moving forward on the organisation’s long term strategy.
Building on measures to improve governance and accountability already implemented over the past four years, the Board approved the creation of a new audit committee. In addition, it also approved a new anti-bribery policy and a new whistle blower policy.
The agreement between IRU and other parties to historical investments was also finalised by the Board. This Memorandum of Understanding is an important step to finalise the restructuring plan presented to IRU members at the General Assembly last month. This marks a significant move forward in clearing-up the structural and financial legacies from the past.
Looking ahead, IRU’s ongoing strategic project to reform and reshape the organisation was also at the heart of the Board’s discussions. The project’s four task forces – on the Academy, advocacy, passenger transport, and TIR and transit systems – reported on progress.
The Board is heavily involved in the work of the taskforces, which is crucial in bringing strong customer and market insights into IRU’s offerings, and fostering a culture of innovation so that IRU becomes sustainable, remains relevant but more importantly leads the transformation of mobility and logistics.
