Established in 2011 by the ECGI and the University of Tokyo in order to engage academics and practitioners in a constructive dialogue between the European Union and Asia on issues of concern in the field of corporate governance. The EU Asia Corporate Governance Dialogue (EACGD) is supported by the European Commission and the Japanese Financial Services Agency. The organisers are most grateful for the sponsorship of the dialogue by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC).
Background
In the light of the success of the Transatlantic Corporate Governance Dialogue (TCGD) which since 2004 has been a significant forum for engaging in forward-looking discussions of corporate governance issues on both sides of the Atlantic, the European Commission asked the ECGI, TCGD's European partner, to examine the possibility of establishing a parallel initiative between Europe and Asia.
