    The terms Global South and North have been around since the 1960s, and they denote the country's socioeconomic position, not geographic location. It's jargon used by organizations …

    The simple and unsatisfying answer is that the board is responsible for these decisions, and the board should be constituted in accordance with each company's articles. My point is…
