The Croatian Financial Services Supervisory Agency (HANFA) and the Zagreb Stock Exchange issued this revised Corporate Governance Code, which mandates listed companies to adopt higher transparency and accountability standards effective 1 January 2025. The Code requires dualistic and monistic companies to implement formal appointment procedures, maintain at least 40% gender balance in leadership, manage conflicts of interest rigorously, and submit annual compliance and practice questionnaires. By aligning Croatian regulations with G20/OECD principles, it establishes binding reporting frameworks and clear governance boundaries to strengthen long-term sustainability, investor confidence, and stakeholder value.
