3rd Greek Corporate Governance Summit

Corporate Governance acts as a catalyst in the way businesses interact with external stakeholders. Covering areas related to both the management and control of a company, it is at the center of attention for investors, regulatory authorities, as well as the company’s suppliers and competitors. It is the third pillar of the ESG criteria and promotes a fair and inclusive business model that strengthens the position of women in managerial roles. It is worth noting the recent legislation passed by the Hellenic Parliament, which increases the gender quota on the boards of large listed companies to 33%, imposing heavy compliance penalties.

Given the ongoing changes in the modern economic environment, driven by the dynamics of Artificial Intelligence and emerging risks, Corporate Governance is being redefined with a focus on both the resilience and capabilities of business leadership to effectively manage complex challenges, and on leveraging opportunities. Moreover, good Corporate Governance performance is associated with higher financial performance, according to international studies.

These challenges and opportunities are the focus of the 3rd Greek Corporate Governance Summit, organized by ethosEVENTS on 4 June 2025, in collaboration with the financial and business portal banks.com.gr and the financial and investment magazine HRIMA. Participation in the conference is possible either in person at the NJV Athens Plaza Hotel or online via the LiveOn Expo Complex, the innovative 3D exhibition and conference center of LiveOn.

The Program Director is Sophia Emmanouil, Journalist.

Overview

The Conference includes individual keynote speeches and discussion panels, addressing the following main topics:

Session 1: Listed Companies – Adapting to the Regulatory Framework and New Realities

Corporate governance for companies listed on the Athens Stock Exchange has entered a new era over the past five years, with Law 4706/2020. The implementation of this new regulatory framework, which updated Law 3016/2002, created demanding conditions, prompting companies to reassess their corporate governance models and comply with a rigorous regulatory environment. A few years later, we evaluate this significant step toward enhancing transparency and trustworthiness of listed companies, with a focus on protecting the interests of shareholders and employees, and considering of recent changes in the representation of women on Boards of Directors.

Discussion Topics:

The level of company compliance with the Corporate Governance framework
To what extent it has contributed to increased accountability and anti-corruption efforts
The degree to which independent board members participate in decision-making
Female representation on Boards of Directors
Sanctions for non-compliance with the regulatory framework

Section 2: Corporate Governance for Public Interest Companies

The concept of corporate governance has entered the public sector with a 2022 law that defines the role of the state in the governance of public limited companies and other subsidiaries of the Hellenic Holdings and Property Company (HHPC S.A.). There are rules and frameworks for how the state and public services implement the ownership policy, and regulations have been adopted for supervision and internal control issues based on international standards. The modernization of Public Enterprises under high standards of Corporate Governance serves the goal of building trust with society and potential investors, along with positive returns in the long term.

Discussion Topics:

Corporate governance and transparency standards in the public sector, reporting, and risk management strategies
The regulatory framework governing HCAP S.A. and the Corporate Governance Code of the Growthfund
Compliance as a means of boosting competitiveness
Training and guidance for senior executives in public companies on governance best practices
Public disclosure to shareholders and stakeholders

Session 3: Corporate and Family Governance in Family-Owned Businesses

In Greece, more than 8 out of 10 businesses are family-owned, forming the backbone of the economy. They have proven resilient during crises but face challenges such as succession, conflict management, and the adoption of new technologies. Corporate governance influences family businesses in areas including decision-making, transparency, accountability, and sustainable development. It supports shareholder family members by building trust among themselves and with employees, suppliers, and customers. Thus, family members are better equipped to manage risks like internal conflicts and seize opportunities like securing financing or forming business partnerships.

Discussion Topics:

A guide to corporate governance in family-owned businesses
The role of family governance and the decision-making process
Role and responsibility allocation and the Family Constitution
Succession planning
How responsible ownership and family cohesion are maintained
