Welcome to the Tomorrow's Corporate Governance website, a platform for our Good Governance Forum.

 

Corporate governance has come under the spotlight as we learn the lessons from the financial crisis.  We define governance as “the procedures and practice associated with decision-making, performance and control, which provide structures and satisfy expectations of accountability in large, mainly commercial, organisations.”

Businesses are engines of value creation and operate within what Tomorrow’s Company calls the ‘triple context’ – where value creation will increasingly depend on integrating social, environmental and economic value drivers. It is an environment where non-financial and intangible assets are significant drivers of corporate performance and where value is often created through collaborative global networks, reshaping traditional boundaries of power, control and influence. This context will increasingly shape board and investor strategies and will frame the governance agenda of the future which will determine future business success. Governance must therefore be increasingly judged by its impact on long-term and sustainable value creation.

 

The Good Governance Forum supports achieving business success through improving the quality of corporate governance by providing tools, resources and other instruments for chairs, company secretaries and other key people who drive the quality of board performance. It works with regulators and others to help create the best possible environment for good corporate governance.

 

To date the Forum has produced two major outputs:
