Good corporate governance at the forefront of The Malta Chamber’s policy BY DANIEL CASSAR – POLICY EXECUTIVE AT THE MALTA CHAMBER
Good governance is one of the fundamental pillars of The Malta Chamber and is a key area of focus in our policy drafting. In recognition of this fact, and The Malta Chamber’s role as the voice of ethical business, we have setup a Corporate Governance Committee within The Malta Chamber.
W
hile The Malta Chamber has always kept principles of good corporate governance at the forefront of its policy proposals, “The Manifesto for Good Governance” published in 2020 is The Malta Chamber’s landmark document in this area, setting out 68 recommendations for the improvement of Malta’s governance including a focus on the implementation of proposals in the field of corporate governance. This document has paved the way for the introduction of the new Corporate Governance Committee at The Malta Chamber, a committee sponsored by Credit Info, with the ultimate aim of growing our strong voice in this area. The Committee has established its priorities for the coming year, chief amongst them is their commitment to engaging with policy makers on strategic areas such as due diligence and KYC processes, promoting a culture of Good Corporate Governance amongst the Maltese business community and strengthening the cause of anti-bribery and anti-corruption.
