Governance can begin with frameworks, policies, and standards to be put in place; governance practices should be shared across enterprises collaboratively.
GRC is about collaboration and harmony, not a new organizational structure. It is about sharing information, knowledge, and common processes.
Transparency: Provide clear, accurate, and timely information about financial performance and key risks. Disclose business practices, value chain relationships, and how well the company meets its operational goals. For ESG investors, transparency also involves disclosures about the policies used to ensure ethical oversight, environmental performance, and workforce and community programs.
Accountability: Publishing information allows shareholders and stakeholders to hold companies accountable for their stated goals. Shareholders can push for ESG-related performance metrics, such as tying executive compensation to sustainability objectives, to help ensure company leaders follow through on what they’ve promised.
Risk Management: Transparency and accountability, when paired with robust oversight, internal controls, and ethical leadership, demonstrate a company’s commitment to effective risk management and long-term strategy. These measures can help mitigate corporate misconduct, reduce regulatory risks, and support sustainable business practices.
Long-Term Focus: Companies focused on the long term grew revenue more on average than their peers, and with less volatility. Strong corporate governance is also linked to lower capital costs, as well-managed companies can scale more effectively with sufficient investment.
Trust Development: It’s important to build trust between companies and their stakeholders, which is essential in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) corporate governance. Corporate governance transparency means providing clear, accurate, and timely information about financial performance and key risks, such as disclosures about business practices, supply chain relationships, and how well the company meets its operational goals.

Governance is steering. It isn’t just about putting restrictions on what you can do; it is also about monitoring and knowing when things are not going to plan so that you can take appropriate actions at the right time. Governance can begin with frameworks, policies, and standards to be put in place; governance practices should be shared across enterprises collaboratively. Under strong governance, the well-defined KPIs help to measure business performance results qualitatively and quantitatively.
