The effective management of corporate governance is the basis for a thriving business. It includes a set of rules and systems that match the interests of shareholders with those of other stakeholders, such as employees as well as customers and company executives. It also establishes internal control systems to ensure the accuracy of financial statements, protect assets and adhere to the law and regulations.

The board has the responsibility to approve a corporate strategy that is intended to produce long-term, sustainable value. It must also select a CEO, oversee the management of the company, allocate capital for growth, manage and assess risks and set the standard for ethical conduct at the top. The board must demonstrate that it is acting in the shareholders best interests by providing sufficient transparency, engagement, as well as accountability.

A strong board requires the support of a strong executive team. Boards should be willing to work with independent directors, experts in governance and consultants to gain the experience and knowledge needed to be successful. Attending governance conferences networking with peers, industry leaders, and working together to discuss best practices and learn from their experiences are all possible.

As the world around us evolves, so should our organizational frameworks to respond to new trends and problems. For example, a climate crisis can spur companies to adopt sustainability frameworks and practices and also set emissions reduction targets and track the progress. This means informing stakeholders and shareholders of the changes as soon as possible, making the reports easily accessible and supplying sufficient details to address any issues that may arise.
