Corporate Governance Summit Presented by Ethical Corporation

Corporate governance is, unquestionably, one of the hottest business topics across the globe.

Here in the U.S., for example, we have been besieged by stories like AIG and Citigroup that highlight past corporate governance failures as well as visions of what corporate governance might look like in the future with more government intervention. The Satyam scandal in India, questions about the role of Stuart Rose at Marks and Spencer in the UK, and studies by the Australian Treasury touting the necessity of solid corporate governance are only a few of the myriad examples of corporate governance being a hot button, front burner topic in the global economy.

In response to the global focus on corporate governance, Ethical Corporation is holding a Corporate Governance Summit in London later this year. Executives from some of the world’s largest companies will be in attendance and featured as speakers in an effort to provide thought leadership and the perspective of experience as businesses chart their course forward in the turbulent times ahead.
