Integrare la Corporate Governance nel Business Plan: la rivista Lawyer Monthly Magazine intervista l’Avv. Fausto De Angelis
Avere chiara la strategia di sviluppo della Governance dell’azienda è diventato un fattore chiave per la sostenibilità e il successo del business. L’evoluzione futura dell’assetto societario ed organizzativo rappresenta sempre di più una componente essenziale del proprio Business Plan. Di questo ed anche altro parla in questo articolo l’Avv. Fausto De Angelis, intervistato dalla nota rivista internazionale di Business Law “Lawyer Monthly Magazine”.
The strengthening of corporate governance has been identified as an important growth factor for businesses internationally. A greater focus on corporate governance has also been enshrined in recent legislation, particularly by the Italian government. We speak with Fausto de Angelis on why this aspect of business is crucial
for entrepreneurs and how it can best be included as part of a company’s strategy.
Can you give us a brief summary of the current corporate governance climate in Italy and significant trends that you are seeing?
In my experience of providing legal business advice to SMEs, I am seeing how greatly corporate governance is growing in terms of importance as a “key success factor” in company strategy.
“It is essential for a leading entrepreneur to enshrine corporate governance as a part of their company’s strategic plan equal to its business objectives.”
Fausto De Angelis
Why do you think corporate governance is now being recognised as an important driver of business success?
More people are now coming to realise that sustainable growth and ESG are crucial concepts for the strategic agenda of any company that aims to develop its business and increase its market share. The building of a strong and effective corporate model has clearly become one of the most fundamental parameters for measuring a company’s competitive advantage and sustainable growth prospects.
What other trends do you expect to see developing in the corporate governance climate?
I see some other trends which, to certain extent, can also be seen as connected with corporate governance and which can be used as a booster to speed up their implementation within organisations. Hot areas at the moment include legal design, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence and fintech.
