3rd Greek Corporate Governance Summit

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

Given the ongoing changes in the modern economic environment, driven by the dynamics of Artificial Intelligence and emerging risks, Corporate Governance was 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 was associated with higher financial performance, according to international studies.

These challenges and opportunities were the focus of the 3rd Greek Corporate Governance Summit, which was organized by ethosEVENTS on 4 June 2025,  with the support of the Hellenic Capital Market Commission and the NED Club. Participation in the conference was 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 was Sophia Emmanouil, Journalist.

The Conference included individual keynote speeches and discussion panels, which addressed 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 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, prompted companies to reassess their corporate governance models and comply with a rigorous regulatory environment. A few years later, was evaluated this significant step toward enhancing transparency and trustworthiness of listed companies, with a focus on the protection of shareholders and employees interests, and taking into account recent changes in the representation of women on Boards of Directors.

Discussion Topics:

  • The level of company compliance with the Corporate Governance framework
  • The extent to which it contributed to increased accountability and anti-corruption efforts
  • The degree to which independent board members participated 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 entered the public sector with a 2022 law that defined 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.). Rules and frameworks were established for how the state and public services implemented ownership policy, and regulations were adopted for supervision and internal control based on international standards. The modernization of Public Enterprises under high standards of Corporate Governance served the purpose of building trust with society and potential investors, while also generating positive long-term returns.

Discussion Topics:

  • Corporate governance and transparency standards in the public sector, reporting, and risk management strategies
  • The regulatory framework governed 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 were family-owned, forming the backbone of the economy. They have proven resilient during crises but faced challenges such as succession, conflict management, and the adoption of new technologies. Corporate governance influenced family businesses in areas including decision-making, transparency, accountability, and sustainable development. It supported shareholder family members by building trust among themselves and with employees, suppliers, and customers. As a result, family members were better equipped to manage risks like internal conflicts and seize opportunities such as 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 were maintained

Session 4: Inclusive Financing: The Role of Corporate Governance

Good decision-making, risk management, and regulatory compliance served as a passport for businesses navigating a demanding and competitive environment. These factors were also prerequisites for accessing financial tools and attracting investors. Transparency and accountability built trust with customers, suppliers, employees, and established credibility with banks, shareholders, and investors. As a result, a corporate governance system that fortified companies with strong structures and processes for management, control, and evaluation opened a window of opportunity for financial growth and funding. Notably, the adoption of good corporate governance practices benefited not only publicly listed companies — which were subject to specific rules — but also non-listed and small to medium-sized enterprises.

Discussion Topics:

  • To what extent do companies adopted open and transparent governance practices as a tool for capital raising?
  • Many companies weighed the cost of transitioning to a strong corporate governance system but overlooked the opportunity it represented
  • Small businesses with strong governance frameworks are far more attractive and communicated better with investors and banks
  • Good governance sent a message of reliability and trustworthiness to external financiers
  • Investors and external financiers sought equitable treatment with majority shareholders
