Corporate governance continues to evolve, especially in a South African context where companies must deal with the combined effects of environmental challenges, socio-political uncertainty and impediments to economic growth. The second edition of Corporate Governance in South Africa contains essential details on the principles and practices of good governance outlined in the first edition. It builds on these concepts by covering the latest developments in the sustainability reporting space, incorporating recent research findings on integrated thinking and clarifying the core features of outcomes-based governance. This book demonstrates to governing bodies, users of corporate reports, practitioners and academics how corporate governance is not just a compliance exercise but something central to the generation of superior financial returns and long-term sustainable development.
