Corporate Governance
Corporate governance is a system of principles, norms, policies, procedures, rules and processes which together guide the organisation's resources towards generating sustainable value for its shareholders, staff, and the wider community in a sustainable way whilst balancing the interests of all stakeholders.
Tenets of Corporate Governance
- TransparencyHonest, clear and timely information for stakeholders about the entire business including success and failures builds strong stakeholder relationships.
- IntegrityEvery promise and announcement should be backed by clear and timely actions. Ethical behaviour and due care ensures loyalty of staff and customers.
- AccountabilityTaking responsibility for actions is a mark of true leadership and business which ensure they are accountable before their stakeholders are more resilient to shocks.
- FairnessEvery stakeholder has their own needs and expectations and organisations must account for that to protect a respectful, just and inclusive collaboration with its staff, customers, and society at large.
- SustainabilityA short term outlook is a road to failure. To be impactful and successful in achieving its objectives an organisation must consider the long-term effect of its operations and balance it with financial viability.
- EthicsEthical conduct and demonstration of responsible behaviour underpin an organisation's reputation and credibility before stakeholders.

Embedding sustainability into governance processes
Sustainability is a Board-level conversation and it should play a prominent role in the governance structure and approaches. As organisations adopt sustainability reporting standards, the importance of embedding sustainability into business-as-usual cannot be overlooked for both reporting, risk and performance management.
