IPCG - Institute of Corporate Governance in Portugal
IPCG - Instituto Português de Corporate Governance is a private, non-profit organisation set up in 2003.
We aim to promote the dissemination of good corporate governance practices as an essential tool for economic efficiency, sustainable growth and financial stability, based on a recommendatory model that shares self-regulation.
Our individual members include a very diverse range of professional skills and expertise (managers, researchers, lawyers, auditors, economists, etc.) and backgrounds (public sector, private sector, liberal professionals, etc.), which ensure not only a plurality and independence of views and opinions, but also a very wide range of knowledge and perspectives on corporate governance. The IPCG also benefits from being able to count on an important range of member companies, some of the most representative in terms of their presence and connection to the capital market, and which thus provide, at the one hand, a vision of reality and, at the other, contribute to the dissemination of best practices in terms of good corporate governance.
Our mission includes the long but successful process of preparing and approving a Corporate Governance Code for the Portuguese capital market.
IPCG invites all those interested in these matters to join and welcomes any contributions on corporate governance issues.
