The PSAG brings together international leaders of the private sector whose shared goal is to help developing  countries improve their corporate governance.  The PSAG includes as members highest level representatives of the private sector from across the globe - from all regions, from developed and developing markets - and from diverse professions, including investors, lawyers, accountants, and journalists.

The Private Sector Advisory Group (PSAG) involves some 75 international leaders, who volunteer their time and expertise to advance corporate governance in developing and emerging-market countries. Drawn from all regions,PSAG members include corporate board members, senior executives, investors, lawyers, accountants, and financial journalists.

“Without exception,” noted the 2010 independent evaluation of the Forum, “interviewees spoke of this body with praise, many noting that PSAG provides considerable added value to the Forum’s activities and its expertise constitutes a unique asset.”

PSAG provides the means through which the Forum engages the business community in developing and emerging-market countries to advance corporate governance reforms.

The high-profile members strengthen the Forum’s effectiveness in corporate governance code implementation, board director and financial media training, boardroom use of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, stakeholder engagement, and targeted assistance through special programs. PSAG members’ stature helps to mobilize support among private sector leaders worldwide to influence senior regulators and government officials.

We are driven by a personal and professional commitment to advance the public good. Ultimately, society is the winner when companies live by corporate governance best practices.”

About the Global Corporate Governance Forum (Forum) and the Private Sector Advisory Group (PSAG)

The Global Corporate Governance Forum is the leading knowledge and capacity building platform dedicated to corporate governance reform in emerging markets and developing countries. The Forum offers a unique collection of expertise, experiences, and solutions to key corporate governance issues from developed and developing countries.

The Forum’s mandate is to promote the private sector as an engine of growth, reduce the vulnerability of developing and emerging markets to financial crisis, and provide incentives for corporations to invest and perform efficiently in a transparent, sustainable, and socially responsible manner. In doing so, the Forum partners with international, regional, and local institutions, drawing on its network of global private-sector leaders. The Forum is a multi-donor trust fund facility located within the IFC, co-founded in 1999 by the World Bank and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
