The Global Network of Director Institutes (GNDI), founded in 2012, brings together member-based director associations from around the world with the aim of furthering good corporate governance. Together, the member institutes comprising the GNDI represent more than 100,000 directors from a wide range of organisations. This paper describes the global perspective of the GNDI on the guiding principles of good governance.
As a collective of the pre-eminent governance associations around the world, GNDI plays an important role in providing leadership on governance issues for directors of all organisations to achieve a positive impact for companies, the economy and society. These Guiding Principles have been developed as part of a commitment to this goal and to guide boards in good governance beyond legislative mandates.
