Policy Groups were established at the Baltic Institute of Corporate Governance (BICG), to support the development of good corporate governance in the Baltics by proposing initiatives, guidelines and recommendations as well as by being highly reactive to any proposals made by other parties in the field of corporate governance and company law.
Comprised of the members of the BICG who are experienced directors, managers, legal experts and corporate governance specialists, the Policy groups will be working closely with the management and reporting to the Board of the BICG.
“While the BICG has always been leading the way in advocating for good corporate governance across the Baltics, having Policy groups will help the Institute to make sure that we are as strong as possible”, says Rytis Ambrazevičius, President of the BICG.
In Lithuania, the Policy group was joined by Agnė Jonaitytė of Primus Derling, Gediminas Varnas of Nasdaq Vilnius, Ina Muckienė of PWC Legal Lithuania, Povilas Žukauskas of Walless, Renata Damanskytė-Rekašienė of EPSO-G Group, Simona Grinevičienė of Ignitis Group and Viktorija Trimbel of Quantum Capital.

In Estonia, a Policy Group is set to be created in the future, as the member community continues to grow.
