Positive Effects on Performance, Both Direct and Indirect

Good governance, precisely, is among the actionable levers useful for this purpose, as our research conducted since 2019, as the Corporate Governance Lab, has demonstrated on the population of enterprises with a turnover exceeding 50 million euros. In brief, good governance has a direct effect on corporate performance, as well as through diversified growth strategies that yield better results.
