Seven thousand listed companies, measured the same way
Gov360 is the Ethics & Boards governance DataBank: 450+ indicators per company, ten-plus years of comparable series, and benchmark panels you build yourself. A living database, refreshed as companies publish — powered by human and artificial intelligence.
Seven families, read from the filings and refreshed constantly
What a governance record actually contains, family by family. Each one is defined once and applied to every company in the base, in every sector; each is revised annually, so that it keeps pace with the codes and the practice it reports on.
- Board composition & functioningSize, independence rate, gender balance, tenure and age, meetings and attendance, chair and CEO roles
- CEO remunerationFixed, annual variable, long-term incentives, pay ratio, say-on-pay result, ESG criteria in variable pay
- Board remunerationTotal fees, fixed versus attendance-based, committee fees, chair's remuneration
- General indicatorsIndex, sector, size band, ownership structure, governance code, one-tier or two-tier board
- E&S governance maturityCSR or ESG committee, sustainability skills on the board, climate training, ESG-linked pay
- Risk governanceAudit and risk committee, risk mapping presented to the board, internal audit reporting line, cyber oversight
- Directors' skillsSkills-matrix categories, sector and functional expertise, international, digital and cyber, geopolitics
- Collected continuously — revised annually
Never a survey, never an estimate
Every family is collected the same way for every company, out of the documents the company itself publishes — never a survey, never a third party's estimate.
The value, with the passage that supports it
Machines read at scale and bring back the value together with the passage that supports it — the sentence in the filing, not only the number.
An analyst sets the two against each other
Before anything enters Gov360, an analyst sets the value and its passage against each other. It is slower than scraping, and it is the reason a figure from Lisbon can be laid beside a figure from Helsinki.
The DataBank is the asset. Here is what we offer with it
Five ways the same data goes to work — for boards, for owners, for the institutions that set the rules, and for the teams that want the raw material itself.
- 01Tailored benchmarks & governance intelligenceYour governance read against the panel that actually matters — a stock market index, an Ethics & Boards panel or a group built to your definition — element by element, with the constituents visible and the series kept year after year.How benchmarking works
- 02Portfolio governance review & vulnerability signalsFor investors and shareholders: the governance of every holding read on one framework, with weak signals and alert points surfaced early — before they become headlines.Governance for investors
- 03Board profiles & directors' skillsets100,000+ director and executive profiles, structured for objective search: skills matrices, mandate and talent searches, and composition work grounded in evidence rather than address books.See the solutions
- 04Research on demandThe question that has no benchmark yet: how a market actually governs itself, how long-horizon funds run their own governance policy, what a corpus of voting policies says once it is read the same way. We build the dataset the question needs, then answer it.What we are asked to research
- 05Direct access — platform, API or dataset licenceReal-time access to the KPIs and the benchmarks for your own analyses: through the platform, through the API, or as a licensed dataset feeding your internal models.Ask about access
The panel is yours to define — and it is disclosed
A stock market index, an Ethics & Boards panel, or a group you construct by industrial sector, geography and company size — with the constituents visible, not just the median. Then four decisions, taken in this order and written into the report, so that a reader can see what was compared with what.
Four moments before a decision
The same read, at four moments when a decision is about to be taken.
Before the policy vote
Executive and board pay against the peers the market will use — total, fixed, variable, long-term — before the policy is put to shareholders.
Before a board refresh
Size, independence, tenure, skills and diversity read against the panel, so that a renewal decision starts from where the board actually stands.
Before an AGM or a diligence
A holding or a target read on one framework against its peers — the weak signals visible before the vote, or before the price.
Before a listing
Governance readiness against the index the company is about to join, item by item, with the gaps investors will read first.
A number means nothing until you choose what it is compared to
Four readings from our weekly Governance Ratio: the same indicator, two indices, and the gap between them. Real values and published dates — nothing illustrative.
Source: the Ethics & Boards Weekly Governance Ratio, drawn from Gov360 Data — issues 46, 47, 65, 69 and 77. A new reading every Monday. All the ratios, since the first ↗
The question that has no benchmark yet
Some questions are not a panel. They are a piece of research: how a market governs itself when you read the filings rather than the code, how the people who own companies organise to govern them, what a whole corpus of voting policies says once it is read the same way. The perimeter, the indicators and the sources are agreed first — then we collect, and then we answer.
- 01Markets and countriesHow governance is practised across a whole market: the code set against what companies actually file, the distance between the two, and the comparison with the markets that market competes with. Commissioned by regulators, exchanges, and the international institutions that finance reform.
- 02How owners govern what they holdThe governance policy of long-horizon funds and institutional investors, read side by side: how they organise to govern a portfolio, who decides, what they commit to in public, and where their stewardship reporting and their voting record part company.
- 03Voting policies and stewardship, comparedVoting policies, engagement thresholds and outcomes across a defined set of investors — the corpus read on one grid, so a policy can be positioned against its peers rather than quoted on its own.
- 04A dataset built for one questionWhen the answer needs data nobody holds yet, the collection is part of the mandate: the perimeter listed, the sources named, the method documented — and the base stays available to re-run next year, because a study that cannot be repeated measures nothing.
Several of the barometers we publish every year began as a piece of commissioned research. Studies are delivered to be published or presented under your name; the method travels with them.
Tell us the companies and the indicators
Most conversations start with a list — a panel you already follow, or the two or three indicators your committee keeps coming back to. Send us either and we will tell you what Gov360 holds on it.
Stay informed.
Every week, one governance ratio drawn from Gov360 Data — a measured fact on boards, remuneration or ESG, with the context to read it. Plus our studies and press mentions as they are published.
