Corporate Governance is the system through which companies are directed and controlled.

With a continually evolving business environment, the importance of effective Corporate Governance continues to intensify. It's clear that businesses that embed corporate governance into their DNA are more likely to leverage market opportunities, overcome challenges, and deliver superior shareholder returns.

The future of Corporate Governance lies in enhancing stakeholder engagement, embracing technology, maintaining a proactive regulatory stance, and fostering an organizational culture that values ethics and transparency. Indeed, these principles echo the belief captured in the words of Netflix's CEO, Reed Hastings who said, "Good governance requires an ongoing commitment to transparency, consistent values, and clear alignment of business, brand, and trust."
