The Corporate Governance Council was founded in Europe in recognition of the growing importance attached by investors to the effectiveness of the corporate board. It has strong connections to the Corporate Governance Research Center, based in New York. The Council is dedicated to executives with governance interest and responsibility, based in Europe, including corporate secretaries, legal counsel, and institutional investors responsible for corporate governance policies
Due to the success of the first peer group, The Conference Board is now launching the Corporate Governance Council II which will run in parallel as a sister council. More information and registration are available on the webpage.
