Frequently asked questions
What is corporate governance?
Corporate governance refers to the principles, structures, and processes that ensure transparent, responsible, and effective corporate management. It defines how companies are managed and controlled to meet both legal requirements and ethical standards. Good corporate governance promotes clear accountability between the executive board, supervisory board, and other management levels and is crucial for maintaining corporate integrity. In the capital market in particular, a strong governance structure creates trust among investors and stakeholders, thus ensuring a stable foundation for long-term growth and corporate success.
How can I successfully integrate ESG into my corporate governance?
Strong corporate governance forms the basis for the successful integration of ESG (environmental, social, and governance) into your corporate management. The development of strategies and guidelines, such as an internal code of conduct, is crucial. These serve as a strategic framework for your sustainability initiatives and set clear standards to define expectations within the company. All relevant regulatory requirements, such as the EU Taxonomy or the CSRD, must be taken into account.
In addition, internal responsibilities for ESG should be clearly structured. A clear allocation of responsibilities – from the executive board to the relevant departments – ensures the effective implementation of ESG initiatives. An interdisciplinary ESG team and regular training strengthen the anchoring of ESG and promote efficient implementation.
What constitutes structured ESG management and what added value does it create for my company?
Structured ESG management is an essential component of corporate governance. It ensures that ESG criteria are integrated into corporate strategy and decision-making processes, thereby maintaining compliance and building a relationship of trust with investors, employees, and stakeholders. It includes identifying relevant ESG matters, setting specific goals and measures, and continuous monitoring and reporting.
The benefits for your company are manifold: it strengthens compliance with current and future regulatory requirements, improves your reputation and trust among stakeholders, and enables you to identify risks early on and take advantage of opportunities around sustainability. In addition, well-established ESG management promotes a positive corporate culture, strengthens employee loyalty, and supports the development of innovative, future-proof business models.
