British Corporate Governance Code

The British Corporate Governance Code is a set of principles and best practices that companies listed on the London Stock Exchange follow to ensure responsible management and strong oversight. It emphasizes transparency, accountability, and integrity, encouraging companies to have effective boards, clear internal controls, and balanced leadership between executives and non-executives. The goal is to protect shareholders’ interests, promote long-term success, and maintain investor confidence by fostering ethical and well-run organizations. Adoption of the code is voluntary but often viewed as best practice, with companies expected to explain how they comply.
