Firms out of line on governance
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Fifty three per cent of Britain's top companies fail to comply fully with the Cadbury code of corporate governance, according to a report by PIRC, a consultancy which monitors corporate governance for pension funds. Eleven companies fail to fully comply with the Stock Exchange's listing requirement to make a statement of compliance with the code.
According to PIRC, three companies, Associated British Foods, Britannic Assurance, and Rentokil, gave "no material reason for non-compliance" as Stock Exchange rules require. Six other companies gave minimal justification.
