how companies transmit their adoption of best practices

so that it enables shareholders to track progress on those
key governance issues mentioned above and make comparisons
with previous communications over a sustained period.

company awareness of the benefits of greater transparency
and accountability to the investor community and clear
evidence of best practices.
