Corporate governance and business obligations
Governance refers to the rules and responsibilities that define how a company is managed and directed. Depending on your company’s size, structure, or activities, you may need to follow specific EU rules in this area.
To ensure more gender equality in the workplace, EU rules require large, listed companies to improve gender balance in their boardrooms.
Company directors in the EU can be held personally liable for their companies. While each EU country has its own company laws, EU-wide rules ensure minimum standards that businesses must follow.
In the event of a major supply chain disruption, the EU may activate measures under the Internal Market Emergency and Resilience Act (IMERA). This framework sets out how authorities coordinate with businesses and provide information during a crisis to ensure the continuity of supply chains.
