Understanding the Implications of Climate Change on Corporate Governance and Business Sustainability
The Company Secretary’s responsibility is to ensure that excellent Corporate Governance best practices are applied in any organization, and Annual general meetings are crucial to Corporate Governance. It is the onus of the Company Secretary to ensure that his or her company complies with the relevant corporate governance regulations while also fostering positive relationships with stakeholders, especially shareholders and investors to increase comfort and business effectiveness.
In order to strike a balance between shareholders’ demands, interests, and expectations and the company’s goal, the Nigerian Code of Corporate Governance (Principle 22) suggests setting up a system of regular communication with shareholders.
