Corporate Governance
Corporate Governance refers to the way that an organization’s board oversees the running of a company by its managers, and how board members are held accountable to shareowners and the company. (Source: The UN Global Compact Report: Corporate Governance - the Foundation for Corporate Citizenship and Sustainable Business).
How a company is governed not only affects the relationship of the company with its shareholders but with employees, customers, those financing the company, and other stakeholders including the communities in which the company operates.
