New CGI Working Paper: “The Governance System of Germany: Background and Discussion of its Code”

26 July 2023 - A new CGI Working Paper, authored by Prof. Christian Strenger, Prof. Dr. Julia Redenius-Hövermann, and Dr. Gül Demirtaş, has been published on our website. The paper, titled “The Governance System of Germany: Background and Discussion of its Code”, presents an overview of the German corporate governance system for listed companies and then delivers a more detailed analysis of its present state by reviewing the acceptance of the 2022 version of the German Corporate Governance Code (the “Code”) based on the declarations of compliance disclosed by the large DAX companies represented in the DAX 40 index. It provides empirical evidence on the Code recommendations that companies readily adhere to, and the areas where they depart from or disagree with the Code.

Prof. Dr. Julia Redenius-Hövermann presents governance guidelines to Hesse's Minister of Justice Roman Poseck

27 March 2023 - Professor Dr. Julia Redenius-Hövermann, Director of the Corporate Governance Institute at Frankfurt School, presented the Hessian Minister of Justice, Professor Dr. Roman Poseck, the Governance Guidelines for Sustainability in Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs), which were developed by a commission of experts.

The guidelines are intended to give impetus and assistance to small and medium-sized enterprises in anchoring the topic of sustainability in the interests of the company, productivity and resilience in processes and control structures. Justice Minister Poseck showed interest and approval for the developed guidelines and emphasised that they should combine important goals and take into account the special features of medium-sized enterprises. In this context, it is important to sensitise SMEs to sustainability without forcing overregulation, so that sustainability remains a business decision.
