The Corporate Governance Working Group challenges corporations to uphold financial, social and ethical standards through their governance structures. Our work covers the areas of executive and CEO compensation; independence and inclusivity of boards of directors, and board committees; and transparency and accountability to shareholders and community stakeholders.

Mission Statement

We believe that a company's governance structure should be based on ethical values, including inclusivity, integrity, honesty, justice, transparency and responsiveness to shareholders and stakeholders. We believe that a company’s obligations to its stakeholders extend far beyond financial performance, and into the social and environmental arenas.
