PCC Rules that Tweets are deemed Public

08 February 2011 – [London]

Corporate Governance : Definition

I came across a good definition of Corporate Governance today :

Governance is the sum of all international and national rules, regulations, values and principles, which are binding for our company and determine how to lead and supervise.

Corporate Governance means “responsible management and control” in order to safeguard the company and all employees.
