Effective governance is the anchor of progress: “The modern corporation has been an enormously productive societal and organizational invention playing a salient role in improving the human condition across the globe. Large corporations have figured prominently in the economic growth and related improvement of the human condition in the industrial world in the past century. Core ideas of the corporate construct, including respect for private property and pursuit of profits within the framework of the rule of law, have lifted billions of individuals from poverty toward middle-income levels in recent decades in developing countries. Effective corporate governance has been critical to these significant corporate accomplishments.”
