German Corporate Governance Code

The German Corporate Governance Code is a set of guidelines that promote responsible and transparent management of German companies. It helps ensure that company leaders act ethically, make sound decisions, and prioritize the interests of shareholders and stakeholders. The code covers areas like board structure, transparency, accountability, and risk management, aiming to build trust and confidence in the company's operations. While compliant companies disclose their adherence, the code is mostly voluntary, encouraging companies to follow best practices for good corporate governance.
