Corporate Governance
A commitment to bettering society
At IESE we’re firmly committed to creating a context in which presidents, CEOs, board members, investors and top executives reflect on how to improve the governance of their companies, ultimately contributing to having long-term positive impact on companies as well as society. We encourage corporate governing bodies to take their responsibilities beyond compliance with legal obligation and toward a guiding social purpose and commitment to bettering society.
Our Goal
To develop purpose-oriented CEOs, chairs and board members who set the direction of businesses for the long term and expand good government practice across all industries.
What We Do
- Generate relevant research on the role and dynamics of boards of directors, shareholders and regulators for better decision-making.
- Create the learning and networking context in which chairs of boards, CEOs, board members, investors and senior executives can reflect on and acquire new frameworks.
- Participate in international forums and task forces to share knowledge and disseminate good practices about corporate governance.
