Corporate Governance
Business Roundtable has been a leading voice in support of sound corporate governance policies that protect investors, promote efficient capital markets and serve the long-term interests of companies.
Private Sector Principles of Corporate Governance
For decades, Business Roundtable has developed the leading private sector principles on corporate governance. In 2019, Business Roundtable revised its existing principles on the Purpose of a Corporation to emphasize the need for companies to build long-term value by investing in their workers, keeping the trust of their customers, building value for shareholders, supporting their suppliers and serving as good members of the communities in which they do business.
Regulatory Overreach
The SEC plays a vital role in protecting investors and facilitating capital formation. Business Roundtable strongly opposes overreaching regulations that discourage companies from becoming publicly traded or make it more difficult for businesses to deliver long-term value.
