About us
Center for Corporate Governance (CCG) at Copenhagen Business School advances research, education and practice in corporate governance to enable organizations to create sustainable value for society. By promoting evidence-based governance and strengthening responsible ownership and effective boards, the center supports long-term value creation and positive societal impact in the Nordics and beyond.
Through rigorous research, CCG explores topics broadly defined as classical corporate governance such as board of directors, executives, employees and ownership, as well as more specialized topics such as closely held corporations, family businesses and stock market participation.
CCG integrates research insights into degree programs and executive education enabling active and future board members, executives, investors, and policymakers to address governance challenges.
The center disseminates evidence-based knowledge and develops applied frameworks that support better decision-making within corporate governance.
The center is a hub for corporate governance within CBS, and between CBS and international research institutions, the business community, and policymakers.

Current research projects
Nordic Finance and the Good Society
A project that proposes a fresh look at the Nordic financial sector to identify new strategies for growth and value creation. It addresses business strategies, governance, and policy issues, and is carried out in phases (NFGS I, II, and III).
Enterprise Foundations
Investigates foundation ownership, which is particularly common in Denmark and also present in some of the world’s largest companies. The project analyses how foundation ownership influences behaviour and performance at the European and global level.
Novo Nordisk Endowed Chair in Industrial Foundations
Professor Steen Thomsen is the Novo Nordisk Foundation Endowed Professor of Enterprise Foundations. The purpose of the Novo Nordisk Endowed Professorship is to conduct research on enterprise foundations and their role in the Danish society. The Professorship is dedicated to the study and dissemination of knowledge regarding enterprise foundations and their impact on corporate governance and broader society.
Worker representation in firms: what are the effects on firm efficiency and worker well-being?
This project investigates how Danish Cooperation Committees - a core institution of worker co-determination - affect workplace quality and labor-market outcomes. For the first time, we map the presence of these committees in Danish firms and link this new information to rich administrative and survey data. This allows us to examine how Cooperation Committees shape everyday workplace dynamics, including information flows, employee well-being, and the handling of conflicts such as sexual harassment and bullying.
