The Centre’s mandate is to provide innovative, rigorous, and practically relevant research on corporate governance and sustainability. More specifically, the Centre’s mandate focuses on how global companies navigate changing governance obligations including the need to address environmental and social obligations. The Centre facilitates and disseminates research through its own research program including the research of its Director, Fellows and Research Associates.

The Centre also has a mandate to bridge international research and practice in the areas of governance and sustainability through the development of resources and tools for practitioners, seminars, public dialogues, conferences, visiting scholars and the Centre’s website. In executing on this mandate, the Centre also seeks to facilitate productive national and international knowledge exchange among scholars and practitioners addressing corporate governance and sustainability issues.
