Corporate Governance is unanimously considered the capstone of a modern industrial enterprise, the result of the changing focus among lawmakers disciplining the relationship between ethics and business.

According to textbook definitions, Corporate Governance is “the control system that must safeguard stakeholder rights, guaranteeing transparent information and fair, effective and efficient management” or, as Brembo understands it, “the set of rules and procedures governing corporate decision-making, control, and monitoring processes.”

Corporate Governance is the relationship of esteem and trust among people that must permeate every single aspect of company life. Try to imagine it in a company like Brembo that employs almost 4,000 staff members throughout the world. A company that, in the words of its Chairman Alberto Bombassei, "cannot neglect focussing on behaviour and relationships both inside and outside the company, not only for the success of its business operations, but first and foremost as an affirmation of values inspired by recognised and shared ethical principles."
