Why a holistic governance lens is vital
Corporate governance must serve every stakeholder—owners, boards, regulators, customers, employees, and communities.
Corporate governance relationships
A holistic lens recognizes boards, owners, company management, and monitoring bodies (auditors/regulators) as interconnected. Each must meet its objectives.
Principles & practice of holistic governance
Ethical operations, long-term owner goals, stakeholder care, sustainability, and legal compliance must be embedded—not bolted on.
Five golden rules
Nigel Kendall’s rules: ethical approach, balanced objectives, strategic management, structured/resourced organisation, and accountability/transparency for all stakeholders.
Balancing conflicting stakeholder aims
Owners, customers, employees, communities, regulators—all hold different priorities. Holistic governance respects each while keeping the company purpose front and centre.
Put it into practice
Set measurable metrics, use independent surveys, and connect governance efforts to ongoing performance improvement.
