Sustainable Corporate Governance in a Global Economy

Dear Colleagues,

In a global economy defined by the ongoing interplay of national and regional markets, sustainable corporate governance has emerged as a major topic of interest for company shareholders and executives, potential investors, customers, international bodies, NGOs, public authorities, and the general public. Companies are called on to adhere in the long run to the principles of corporate governance which foster economic development, sustainable economic growth, trust between economic entities and customers, investors, policymakers, the community at large, and compliance with legal frameworks.

This Special Issue will particularly focus on the main factors that shape sustainable corporate governance at a global level. Such insights are fundamental because good corporate governance is directly linked to an ethical business environment, responsible economic activities, sound relationships with overall stakeholders, increased interest among local and foreign investors, and long-term financial performance. On the other hand, bad corporate governance triggers unethical business practices, poor economic activities, flawed interactions with stakeholders, insolvency or bankruptcy. Therefore, this Special Issue welcomes research articles that bring novel insights into topics including (but not limited to) the importance of sustainable corporate governance for economic development, business integrity, corporate strategy and compensation, conflict management, environmental awareness, laws and regulations encouraging elements of corporate governance, financial reporting in a globalized world, transparency and accountability, trust among stakeholders, etc.
