Corporate governance today stands as one of the key drivers shaping the strategic direction and long-term performance of businesses. It goes far beyond mere compliance with rules or procedures, influencing the way organizations are governed, how operational processes are controlled, and how companies engage with their stakeholders. At the same time, as the third pillar of ESG criteria, corporate governance fosters a fair, transparent, and inclusive leadership model, strengthening, among other aspects, the participation of women in leadership and decision-making roles.
At the heart of this evolving landscape lies the 4th Greek Corporate Governance Summit – #gcgs26, organized by ethosEVENTS on 26 February 2026, with the support of the Hellenic Capital Market Commission. The Summit will take place with physical presence at the Divani Caravel Hotel, while also being streamed online via the LiveOn Events+ platform, offering broad access to senior executives, investors, and professionals from across the entire market spectrum.
The #gcgs26 agenda focuses on the contemporary challenges and opportunities of corporate governance, through a series of thematic discussions addressing inclusion, sustainability, transparency, and risk management. Particular emphasis is placed on the implementation of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), which requires companies to provide detailed disclosures on their environmental, social, and governance impacts, thereby enhancing the credibility, comparability, and overall quality of non-financial information.
In parallel, the Summit will explore emerging risks related to corporate governance, including cybersecurity, geopolitical developments, sustainability challenges, and regulatory compliance. Through high-level panel discussions and contributions from distinguished speakers, #gcgs26 aims to highlight best practices and underscore the critical role of Boards of Directors, in alignment with the principles and guidelines of the Hellenic Capital Market Commission.
