As part of the European SME Week, ecoDa is delighted to organize, under the patronage of DG GROW (European Commission) an event following the publication of its updated Corporate Governance Guidance and Principles for Unlisted Companies in Europe.
Corporate Governance is an increasing issue for unlisted companies as they develop new sources of finance. It is also a way to gain the respect of key external stakeholders. However, copying principles of best practice for listed companies is not a viable solution as unlisted companies have their own features and challenges. Given the wide scope of unlisted companies, the definition and implementation of a corporate governance framework has indeed to take account the firm’s size, complexity, level of maturity and objectives regarding its own development. With its updated Corporate Governance Guidance and Principles for Unlisted Companies in Europe, ecoDa is providing advice for the governance implementation process, leaving the companies the freedom to decide on the pace and depth.
This webinar will get the challenges and opportunities out for discussion. Testimonies of unlisted companies will flesh out specific practices highlighting the importance of discipline and consistency.

The COVID-19 global health crisis has had an unprecedented impact on business and society across the globe.
ecoDa, FERMA and ECIIA have carried out extensive international surveys to find out the impact of the Covid crisis on their respective professions and to help them navigate the challenges.
If this true that the pandemic has accelerated growing attention on ESG, sustainability and stakeholder value issues, it is also true that the robustness of the governance mechanisms has clearly appeared as an essential element for the resilience of companies.
The April 19 webinar will look at the changes taking place for the three professions, but also how they will need to work together more effectively. Successfully managing challenges requires definitely a new way of thinking about risks.
