Why OECD Work on Corporate Governance Policy Matters

The OECD sets international standards for corporate governance, leveraging key instruments such as the G20/OECD Corporate Governance Principles and the OECD Guidelines on Corporate Governance of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs). The updated G20/OECD Principles address pressing long-term challenges for businesses, including sustainability and resilience, while the SOE Guidelines offer countries guidance on effective corporate governance of SOEs. Ensuring a level playing field for private sector and state-owned enterprises is essential for a competitive business environment.

How Business Engages with the OECD on Corporate Governance Policy

Our Corporate Governance Committee promotes effective corporate governance that supports sustainable growth. We were pivotal in the recent G20/OECD Principles’ revision, highlighting vital private sector issues through consultation sessions and regional roundtables. Additionally, we contribute to refining the OECD SOE Guidelines and influencing the application of the Anti-Corruption and Integrity Guidelines for SOEs, ensuring the business perspective is heard in overarching discussions on trust in business.
