Capital Link has initiated a series of webinars at regular intervals aimed to raise the profile of Greece as a business and investment destination to a global investment community.
Capital Link’s Webinar “The New Corporate Governance Landscape in Greece – Challenges and Opportunities”, will take place on October 27, 2020 | 17:00 pm Athens – 15:00 pm London – 10:00 am New York.
The newly passed legislation 4706/2020 introduces a deep reform in corporate governance practices in Greece and is expected to play an increasing role in attracting foreign investments through shareholder engagement and corporate accountability. The new corporate governance framework applicable to all listed companies on the Athens Stock Exchange, includes new eligibility criteria for BOD members (fit and proper), puts strong emphasis on the role of NED members and introduces a 25% quota for gender diversity in BODs.
As sound corporate governance practices play a significant role for the growing sector of ESG funds, the webinar will showcase how investors incorporate these criteria into their investment process. Also, it will discuss how Greek companies will address their corporate governance challenges, under the supervision of the enhanced roles of the Hellenic Capital Market Committee in order to maximize value for all stakeholders.
Registration is complimentary at: http://webinars.capitallink.com/2020/new-governance/
