Great corporate governance is an unsung hero
The CBI has commented on the launch of the Wates Principles, a new voluntary corporate governance code for large private businesses.
Matthew Fell, CBI Deputy Director-General, said:
“Great corporate governance is the unsung hero of brilliant businesses.
“Private companies play a major role in our economy and society, so it is important they are held to similarly high standards as their public-owned counterparts.
“The new Wates Principles can help private businesses take their governance to the next level, with robust decision-taking informed by strong engagement with their employees, customers and owners.
“Critically, these new principles give firms the flexibility to determine what approach works for them.”
