Governance Metrics
Some of the metrics we use for Governance are:
- Board Composition: The diversity, independence, and expertise of the board are key factors in effective corporate governance.
- Executive Compensation: Assessing executive pay ratios and transparency in compensation aligns with governance practices.
- Corporate Governance Policies: These include the existence and effectiveness of governance policies and codes of conduct.
- Shareholder Engagement: An evaluation of how the company engages with shareholders and responds to their concerns.
- Ethical Conduct: This metric reviews a company’s history of legal or ethical violations and actions taken to address them.
