Corporate Governance Officer (CGO) Committee

The committee's main mission is to promote the Corporate Governance Officers (CGO) profession and provide support and continued development opportunities to Governance Professionals in Luxembourg. Objectives: 1. Recognition of the CGO Function: The Committee works to ensure the CGO function is formally recognized in Luxembourg, highlighting the key roles played by company secretaries and governance professionals and emphasizing the function's added value. 2. Quality Assurance: The Committee aims to provide high-quality training to the Luxembourg market, thereby giving credibility to the CGO function. This includes continuous professional development (CPD) training to guide CGOs and governance professionals in their roles. 3. Community Building: The Committee seeks to create a community of professionals in Luxembourg who can share knowledge and contribute to the excellence of the CGO function. How do we support our community? Since 2017, the Committee has successfully implemented the ILA Certificate in Company Secretarial & Governance Practice (CGO Certification), the first professional certification in Luxembourg in the field of corporate governance. This dedicated training program is designed to equip individuals in a CGO position with the most up-to-date knowledge and skills, from entry-level staff to senior CGOs and board members. The Committee also organizes targeted CPD training and dedicated breakfast briefings to support CGOs and governance professionals in continuously developing their skills. The Committee developed the ILA CGO Code of Conduct, applicable to all certified CGOs and anyone who voluntarily wishes to adhere to it. Further updates are being developed to the CGO Certification program as well.
