Governance for family businesses: Leveraging sustainable growth perspectives

ecoDa has organised a high-level roundtable discussion on family businesses and corporate governance in cooperation with the European Commission on March 12, 2014. The objective of this roundtable discussion was to better understand the strengths of those family businesses but also the challenges that they might face. Indeed, in some countries, a lot of companies belong already to the 5th or 6th generation while in some other countries, there is a large fall-out over the third generation. ecoDa's report identifies the CG challenges for those companies and address some recommendations for the European Commission.
