I prefer
The Company's Board of Directors has decided
Since you are expressing "belonging". The Board of Directors is a component of a larger entity (the company) and so is best expressed with possessive 's. That said, there's nothing wrong with the other option, I just think that using 's works more nicely.
Both are valid, the first is probably more common.
A better summary than I can give about when to use which form can be found here.
