UK Corporate Code

The UK Corporate Governance Code sets out principles and standards for how companies should be managed and overseen to promote transparency, accountability, and sustainable success. It guides boards of directors on best practices for safeguarding shareholders’ interests, ensuring effective leadership, and maintaining integrity in business operations. The Code applies mainly to companies listed on the UK stock exchange but also influences corporate behavior more broadly. While compliance is generally voluntary, companies are expected to disclose their adherence and explain any deviations, fostering trust and responsible governance in the corporate sector.
