AbstractThe G20/OECD Principles of Corporate Governance are the international standard for corporate governance. The Principles help policy makers evaluate and improve the legal, regulatory and institutional framework for corporate governance, with a view to supporting economic efficiency, sustainable growth and financial stability. The Principles were first issued in 1999 and the revised Principles were endorsed by G20 Leaders in 2023. Revised in 2023 to reflect recent evolutions in capital markets and corporate governance policies and practices, they offer many new and updated recommendations on shareholder rights, the role of institutional investors, corporate disclosure and reporting, the responsibilities of boards, and, for the first time, on sustainability and resilience to help companies manage climate-related and other sustainability risks and opportunities.
