Corporate governance, a fundamental pillar of effective and efficient organizational management, requires a strategy grounded in principles such as transparency, accountability, integrity, and responsibility. An effective corporate governance strategy that encompasses all stakeholders, together with sound implementation practices, helps mitigate risks, strengthen investor confidence, and support the achievement of long-term strategic objectives.

In this episode of Talks with Global Governance Leaders, moderated by Gizem Argüden Oskay, Board Member of the Argüden Governance Academy, we explore different dimensions of corporate governance with Prof. Mervyn King, Chair of the International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC) and Member of the Advisory Board of the Argüden Governance Academy, reflects on his remarkable journey from shaping the corporate governance framework in South Africa to advancing integrated reporting on the global stage.

The conversation explores the approach presented in Prof. King’s book, Integrated Thinking: The 21st Century Way of Doing Business, highlighting the importance of integrated thinking in enabling the participation of all stakeholders in decision-making, the need for companies to view themselves as part of society, and the role of integrated reporting as a transformative tool for corporate decision-making in support of a sustainable future.
