What is transparency in corporate governance?

Transparency in corporate governance refers to the practice of openly and honestly disclosing information about a company’s operations, financial performance, decision-making processes, and corporate behaviour to its stakeholders.

The objective of transparency is to provide a clear and accurate view of the company’s activities and to build trust and confidence among investors, shareholders, employees, customers, regulators, and the general public.

Key aspects of transparency in corporate governance include:

• Financial Transparency: Openly share financial data and accounting practices.
• Operational Transparency: Reveal company strategies and goals.
• Disclosure of Material Information: Promptly share significant updates that could affect stakeholders.
• Corporate Governance Transparency: Disclose governance structure, executive pay, and policies.
• Environmental and Social Responsibility Transparency: Report sustainability and social impact efforts.
• Regulatory Compliance: Publish compliance with relevant laws and regulations.
