Members of this research group focus on the governance aspects of running an organisation and the relationship between business activities and sustainability.

The importance of good corporate governance has grown significantly in the last years. Recent developments incluse the amendments to the Dutch Corporate Governance Code, such as the addition of the Verklaring Omtrent Risicobeheersing (VOR, Statement on Risk Management) in 2025. 

Important developments regarding sustainability have come not only from national legislators, but also from the EU legislator. Some new developments are the Taxonomy Regulation, the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive and the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive. Our research is - among others - conducted into sustainable corporate governance, sustainable reporting, and sustainable finance.
