Nordic Corporate Governance Network
about The Nordic Corporate Governance network and database
We preserve the Nordic Corporate Governance Model through research, outreach, and data access. The Nordic Corporate Governance Network & Quantitative Database is a partnership between the leading business schools in Scandinavia.
The network is for Nordic researchers in corporate governance. It was founded in 2010 with the aim of contributing to a deeper international understanding of the Nordic Corporate Governance model.
The Nordic Database in Corporate Governance is a collaborative effort of leading universities in the Nordics to establish, build and maintain the most extensive Nordic database in the area of quantitative corporate governance research.
Nordic firms are known for their special corporate governance characteristics: two-tiered, transparent, and representative. And we aim to keep it that way.
EVENTS AND NEWS
UPCOMING LEGAL CONFERENCE:
NAVIGATING THE NEW CORPORATE LANDSCAPE: BUSINESS, SUSTAINABILITY AND SECURITY
When: 10-11 June, 2025
Where: Helsinki, Finland
Program: Full program will follow
Registration: Link to follow
Hosted by: University of Helsinki and Hanken
The corporate landscape is rapidly evolving, shaped by sustainability agendas, geopolitical shifts, and increasing market fragmentation. These dynamics introduce new risks and responsibilities for businesses, while also challenging traditional approaches to managing liabilities and defining the role of corporations in society. In this context, it is crucial to revisit the political and theoretical foundations of corporate regulation.
The conference brings together scholars, policymakers and corporate representatives to share perspectives on the current corporate environment and to discuss the impact of the politicization of corporations on company law and corporate governance.
The conference is organized by the Faculty of Law of the University of Helsinki and the Hanken School of Economics in cooperation with the Nordic Corporate Governance Network.
