Our Advocacy
Good corporate governance is critical to a country's global competitiveness and has been shown to have a direct correlation with corporate profitability and growth. Government and regulators require it. Companies of all sizes need it.
Good corporate governance protects and balances all stakeholder interests, strengthens business relationships, increases access to external financing, and leads to better operational performance.
Adoption of good CG practices results to sustained returns and increased shareholder value, factors that help attract investment.
Good corporate governance is about doing what's right, and doing it well.
