The initial intention of the HOCG was to produce and distribute a newsletter twice a year (July and January), in order to provide its readers with news, developments, research findings and other relevant information on issues relating to the emerging field of Corporate Governance and Boards of Directors in Greece.

The HOCG regularly issues studies on different sectors of the Greek environment. It has already published annual reports on the listed companies, the SOEs, Maritime Companies, Greek Hospitals and Greek Football Clubs. To access the studies click here

The objectives of the Observatory

“To remain competent in a changing world, corporations must innovate and adapt their corporate governance practices so that they can meet new demands and grasp new opportunities. Similarly, governments have an important responsibility for shaping an effective regulatory framework that provides for sufficient flexibility to function effectively and to respond to expectations of shareholders and other stakeholders”(OECD, 2004: pp.13-14)
