Typical challenges
Lack of a structure around corporate governance and adherence to best practices or ISO Standards
Absence of skills and experience in the board’s and management's dual responsibility for corporate culture and their role in managing and overseeing ESG.
Inadequate understanding of key corporate governance requirements and expectations within a fast-changing business world.
Balancing the interests of running a business with the role of oversight and accountability that corporate governance requires.
Build a strong foundation for accountability
Corporate governance applies a system of rules and practices, based on guiding principles, that a company puts in place to direct all of its operations and to determine how the company operates and how it aligns the interests of all its stakeholders. The basic principles of sound corporate governance are accountability, transparency, fairness, and responsibility.
Strong, transparent corporate governance leads a company to make ethical decisions that benefit all of its stakeholders, allowing the company to position itself as an attractive option to investors if its finances are also healthy. Poor corporate governance, by contrast, can lead to a breakdown of the company and result in scandals and bankruptcy.
In today’s volatile business environment, high-quality governance is more essential than ever to secure sustainable returns for stakeholders. From a long-term standpoint, effective governance structures are less susceptible to business and ESG risks, thus more robust and successful going forward. Speeki can help embed good corporate governance into all levels of your organisation.
