Corporate governance is about trust. Asking shareholders and business partners to support companies that take risks and embark on projects with only long-term payoffs requires trust. In order to create this trust, corporate governance initiatives are being taken at the enterprise level influenced or imposed by national, European and international rules.

It also explains how EMC Centera is uniquely positioned to these firms to be compliant with the newly developed corporate governance obligations and future legislation.
