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.
