The goal of corporate governance is to achieve effective, transparent and responsible management in order to create sustainable value. Internally, it is important to ensure that the organization, tasks and responsibilities are set out clearly and consistently. In external relationships, it is a question of ensuring transparency for the owner (shareholder) and other stakeholders. Swiss Post attaches great importance to corporate governance and bases its actions on the Swiss Code of Best Practice for Corporate GovernanceTarget not accessible drawn up by economiesuisse.
