France Current 2018

More information

The principles for the corporate governance code are based on the Viénot reports of 1995 and 1999, on the Bouton report of 2002, and on the 2007 and 2008 recommendations concerning the compensation of executive directors of listed companies. Prepared by the Association Française des Enterprises Privées (AFEP) and the Mouvement des Entreprises de France (MEDEF), these recommendations are aimed at those companies with securities trading on a regulated market. Corporations with a Supervisory Board and Management Board, as well as partnerships limited by shares, need to make adjustments as appropriate to implement these recommendations.
