Developing A Culture of Good Governance

October 28, 2019

A culture of good investment governance is based on the shared objectives, mutual respect, judgment and experience of the group of people working together to fulfill fiduciary responsibilities. Developing and sustaining a supportive governance culture takes commitment, integrity and a degree of self‑awareness. We hope that the self‑evaluation of your corporate governance culture set out in this issue of Fiduciary Insights will stimulate reflection and discussion that foster a culture of good governance.

This issue of our Fiduciary Insights series, Developing a Culture of Good Governance, examines the foundational behaviors and organizational attributes that support effective fiduciary decision‑making. The paper presents a practical framework for assessing governance culture, identifying strengths and opportunities for improvement, and fostering collaboration, accountability, and continuous learning across investment committees and oversight bodies.
