The 2019 Business Roundtable Statement on the Purpose of a Corporation, endorsed by 183 CEOs of major U.S. companies, is not such a dramatic break from the past, but rather the next step in a steady retreat from a purely financial approach and an evolution to embrace a stakeholder approach, which is now gaining more and more lip service. The major purpose of this paper is to analyze this Business Roundtable Statement and relate it to three major corporate governance issues: CEO pay, non-financial performance metrics, and sustainability reporting. Then the paper introduces the Commonsense Corporate Governance Principles, which were initially published in 2016 and updated with Version 2.0 in 2018, sponsored by 21 CEOs of major U.S. companies. These Principles provide significant guidance and recommendations for corporations, boards of directors, shareholders, and other stakeholders to follow if they want to create an environment-friendly to meet the fundamental commitments in the Business Roundtable Statement. Accordingly, the major sections of this paper are introduction, CEO pay issues, non-financial performance metrics, sustainability reporting, corporate governance impacts, key points in both versions of the Commonsense Principles, key changes in the Commonsense Principles 2.0, discussion, and conclusions.

The Board Of Directors

Purpose By looking at both theoretical and empirical findings, this study aims to investigate whether gender diversity results in improved corporate governance and financial performance for companies. Design/methodology/approach An analysis of the board composition of the Johannesburg Securities Exchange Top 40 companies as at 30 June 2013 and a comparison of the financial performance of the company were conducted. Findings Female directors were found to make up, on average, 18.78 per cent of the board of directors, with the majority of these women being in non-executive positions. Women representation appears to influence company performance positively when using accounting-based measures of performance (such as return on assets and return on equity), but negatively when using market-based measures (such as Tobin’s Q). The critical mass concept is also assessed and is found to have a positive effect. Originality/value These findings are of relevance to the boards of directors adhering to corporate governance requirements by challenging the role of women on the board of directors, as well as that of investors and those in practice, to understand the current status of women representation.

Purpose – Islamic banking is a viable sustainable banking model that has shown resilience to financial crises. The aim of this research is to design a consensus-based ethical and market-driven corporate governance index (CGI) to boost financial performance and ensure compliance with Islamic rulings. Design/methodology/approach – The design of the CGI is the outcome of the feedback obtained from a cross-country survey to measure bank efforts in enhancing corporate governance (CG) throughout the ten-year period of 2001-2011. The CGI is divided into six core CG themes and 40 sub-themes. Findings – First, the results of the multiple regression analysis show a consistent positive relationship between CG and financial performance metrics. Second, the authors detect misaligned compensation structures for directors. Third, poor governance leads to higher risk exposures. Research limitations/implications – CG in Islamic banks is yet an evolving discipline and infant practice. This research aims to introduce a CGI that should be updated and improved as the discipline evolves. Practical implications – The research concludes by proposing a CG paradigm. The outcome of the research could also be of use to both Islamic banks and to the rapidly growing sustainable banking sector in designing a similar CGI and CG model incorporating the ethical features of sustainable finance. Social implications – The core ethos of Islam are: avoiding the exploitation of the needy, avoiding excessively risky transactions, avoiding unethical transactions and justice, equity and income redistribution. If properly applied, Islamic banking will display all features of sustainable finance as well as enhance social welfare. Originality/value – To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first CGI that is based on an ethical and all-inclusive input of all stakeholders.

This study uses secondary data. The independent variables in this study are corporate governance and company size. The dependent variable in this study is financial performance and company value. The intervening variable used is sustainability reporting. GRI is used as a sustainability reporting alloy for index measurement bases. The sample of this study was 12 companies that published sustainability reporting and financial reports for three consecutive years in 2014-2016 which could be accessed through the company's website. Data analysis techniques in this study using Partial Least Square (PLS) with a calculation process that is assisted by a software application program. The results of the study show that there is no significant effect of corporate governance and company size on sustainability reporting.

The importance of sustainability reporting for companies to be able to know the role of the company in disclosing social responsibility and the implementation of corporate sustainability as a manifestation of corporate governance mechanisms, company size and financial performance. This study uses a stratified random sampling method for companies that have revealed sustainability reports and those that do not disclose sustainability reports.

This study aims to analyze Risk Profile, Good Corporate Governance, Earning, and Capital (RGEC), Sustainability Reporting (SR) and financial performance (ROE and TQ) of the listed banks in the IDX. This research implements correlation and regression analysis. Base on data samples of 12 banks in 2013-2017, the results of this study show that GCG and RGEC positively correlated to performance (ROE and TQ), but there is no correlation between SR and performance. The regression analysis shows that risk profile (LDR), GCG, and Earning / rentability (ROA) are statistically significant influence ROE but only NPL and GCG that influence TQ while SR is not significant, both to ROE and TQ. These findings support the arguments that the better the RGEC, the higher the financial performance. Subject to data limitation of SR, this study could not give empirical evidence that the better the SR, the higher the firm performance.

This paper analyzes 15 of the largest EU public companies, including Volkswagen, that were included in Forbes’ 2015 list of “The World’s Biggest Public Companies” in order to investigate possible best practices for long-term sustainability, as emphasized by the EU Sustainability Directive. CEO pay and various well-known financial ratios were correlated with market capitalization creation to create a sustainability score which was then correlated to market cap creation to indicate possible long-term sustainability practices. Key correlations were CEO pay, sales growth, profit margin, and leverage or adequacy of capital. Such key variables could then be monitored for possible long-term sustainability practices by Boards of Directors for good corporate governance, as opposed to recent bad corporate governance by Volkswagen. In just the last year, Volkswagen managed to destroy all the prior three years of its market cap creation.
