Recommendations from the Korea Stewardship Code
  • As the organization that examines and monitors the trend of the implementation of the Korea Stewardship Code, it is recommended that the KOREA INSTITUTE OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND SUSTAINABILITY examine the appropriateness of the Code’s detailed contents every two years.
  • When the participants of the Korea Stewardship Code or the market at large request, or when the need arises, it is recommended that the KOREA INSTITUTE OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND SUSTAINABILITY prepare and publicly release explanatory documents and undertake measures to introduce overseas examples in order to assist in the understanding and actual implementation of the Code’s detailed contents.
  • The Korea Stewardship Code stipulates that the KOREA INSTITUTE OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND SUSTAINABILITY examine and monitor market trends as part of its work.
