I don’t know why, but I begin with Corporate Governance. Governance isn’t at all about legalism. It is about culture. I hold just three principles amidst navigating all the codes. It is this:

1. Integrity
2. Competence
3. Trust.

And it is held by every single person in the organisation, corporately structured or otherwise. It is held by each person in the community as an internal value. That is actually the deep work. No amount of auditing and disclosure can uphold governance. It has to be intrinsic in every individual participating in the space.

Nevertheless, the trend is encouraging. The scaffolding in a direction towards global corporate responsibility is heartwarming to observe, witness, and participate in.
