We, the Namibia Institute of Corporate Governance (NICG), issue this view as our considered assessment of King V and its implications for Namibia.
1. Why NICG is engaging with King V now
King V arrives at a moment of significant transition globally and within our region. Geopolitical instability, climate and environmental shocks, technological disruption, cyber-security threats, and widening social inequality are reshaping expectations of leadership and governance. Concurrently, sustainability reporting has been formalised through the ISSB’s IFRS S1 and S2 standards, embedding climate and sustainability considerations into mainstream financial reporting. boards operate with deeper foresight, stronger accountability and broader societal sensitivity.
