It is the only membership organization in Slovenia, solely representing the profession of Supervisory Board members. It joins 500 members and is currently in communication with 4.000 members of Supervisory Boards (SB) in Slovenia. SDA provides education, certification, research, professional standards, publishing and consulting services to SB members.
Its mission is to connect members of Supervisory Boards; stimulate education and professionalism, ethical behavior and improve standards of good Corporate Governance. The purpose of SDA is efficient work of Supervisory Boards, good Corporate Governance, shareholder activism and trust, improvement of legislation and business environment.
SDA successfully accomplishes its mission with certification by proposing to candidates and members of SB to become "a charted SB member” by passing examination and setting professional standards. All the candidates that became charted SB members are subscribed in national register of SB members.
SDA focuses on setting good standards for SB members such as National Code of Corporate Governance, Criteria for selection, work and remuneration of SB members, Recommendations on election, recall and remuneration of management. All the standards of good practice are currently adjusted to EU and Slovenian legislation changes, incentives and practices.
SDA plays increasingly important role in civil society creating experts network within and with important institutions. In light of its continuous growth SDA fosters the relationship with various associations and institutions in Slovenia like The Slovenian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, The Managers’ Association, The Association of Employers and The Association of Workers' Councils and various consulting companies.
SDA was looking for similar institutions in Europe to join and work internationally. In 2006 joined European Confederation of Directors Association (ecoDa), which joins similar institutions as SDA in Europe. Their objective is to promote directors’ skills and professionalism and good Corporate Governance (CG), as well as propose solutions to the key CG questions facing Europe today in close cooperation with European Parliament and European Commission.
