Nyenrode Corporate Governance Institute
Introduction
Nyenrode Corporate Governance Instituut
The Nyenrode Corporate Governance Institute (NCGI) is the platform for everyone who wants to professionalize board, governance and supervision in a way that leads to a better world. As an academic institute, we want to make a social contribution by stimulating the development and debate about responsible leadership.
We join forces with various groups for this, because responsible leadership affects every type of board and supervision in all sectors, both public and private and from small to large. We share the academic knowledge from research we have in-house through our Board & Governancecourses. Our members also give their opinion in the public debate on good governance through publications, conferences and lectures. In this way we give all participants a broad perspective on the question of what good governance is.

Research
Research
Corporate governance requires connecting a variety of research disciplines. Bridges need to be built between lawyers and economists, economists and behavioral scientists, behavioral scientists and philosophers, philosophers and lawyers, etc. To prevent tunnel vision in corporate governance research, each discipline has to broaden its scope. Research conducted by the Nyenrode Corporate Governance Institute means:- Independent (scientific) research;
- A focus on practical application;
- Designing concrete solutions for existing problems (linking theory with practice).
- Board Agenda 2022
- Making Markets Fit for Purpose
- Integrated Reporting
- New (corporate) governance concepts
Several of our members have conducted research for (among others) the Dutch Monitoring Committee for Corporate Governance, the Dutch Monitoring Committee for the Banking Code, ministries, corporations, and institutional investors. Additionally, they have conducted independent research that has greatly contributed to the public debate on this subject.
Some of NCGI's recent and prominent publications and research papers in the field of corporate governance are listed below. Not all publications are available in English. The title indicates the publication's language.

Strong corporate governance requires opinion forming and a public debate based on facts. We create these by:

- Providing academic content for education and research programs.
Practically, this means we produce the following output:

- seminars, conferences and round-table meetings for the scientific and business worlds;
- (scientific) publications, lectures and media-appearances.

Mandating company reporting won’t enhance transparency
Type: ResearchPublication date: 7/3/2024The EU’s Directive 2014/95/EU requires large companies to disclose non-financial information related to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) matters in their annual reports. However, a recent study from Nyenrode Business University found that simply mandating reporting won’t guarantee enhanced transparency. In fact, the Directive's flexibility and weak enforcement make it less effective, and more costly, for companies that are not motivated to share detailed information.
