The UK Corporate Governance Code

The UK Corporate Governance Code is a set of principles and guidelines for companies listed on the UK stock market, promoting transparency, accountability, and effective leadership. It encourages companies to have a balanced and responsible board of directors, strong oversight of management, and clear communication with shareholders. The goal is to ensure companies are well-run, ethical, and secure investors’ confidence, ultimately supporting sustainable growth and long-term success. While not all companies are legally required to follow it, many choose to do so voluntarily, demonstrating their commitment to high standards of governance.
