The 2023 OECD Corporate Governance Factbook
The OECD Corporate Governance Factbook 2023 is now available, offering over 100 tables and figures
with comparative data from 49 jurisdictions on ownership structures, regulatory oversight, board
duties, shareholder rights, and sustainability disclosure. Updated biennially by the OECD Corporate
Governance Committee, it serves as a valuable resource for policymakers, regulators, market
participants, and academics to understand national practices and the evolving corporate governance
landscape.
The 2023 edition has four main chapters:
1. Global markets, corporate ownership, and sustainability: This chapter provides an overview of
developments in equity and corporate bond markets, the rise of institutional investor ownership,
trends in initial and secondary public offerings, and sustainability-related policies. It highlights the
increase in sustainability-related disclosures mandated by law or regulation in many jurisdictions.
2. Corporate governance and institutional framework: It discusses the importance of the
institutional, legal, and regulatory framework in implementing the G20/OECD Principles, noting that
corporate governance reforms remain a priority in most jurisdictions.
3. Rights of shareholders and key ownership functions: This chapter details changes in shareholder
rights, including the move towards allowing multiple voting shares, the regulation of related-party
transactions, and the rise of virtual and hybrid shareholder meetings.
4. Corporate board of directors: It covers board structures, independence, committees, risk
management, and diversity, noting the slow adoption of sustainability committees and the varied
approaches to increasing gender diversity on boards.
The Factbook's data is primarily sourced from national submissions and OECD thematic reviews,
aligned with the G20/OECD Principles of Corporate Governance. It reflects the latest
recommendations, especially regarding sustainability, shareholder meetings, and company groups,
and tracks the implementation of these principles across OECD, G20, and Financial Stability Board
member jurisdictions. The document is available for free on the OECD website.
