Governance and Value Creation Grading
Corporate governance is about commitment to values and ethical business conduct. Good corporate governance is reflected in fair, transparent, and responsible interactions among a company's management, board of directors, shareholders, and other stakeholders. Our Governance and Value Creation (GVC) Gradings assesses corporate governance practices at a company with respect to their impact on all stakeholders who deal with the company, such as employees, suppliers, shareholders, lenders, and society.
A Crisil GVC grading indicates the capability of the entity with respect to creating wealth for all its stakeholders, while adopting sound corporate governance practices. The grading measures the balanced creation of value among all stakeholders using a judicious mix of qualitative and quantitative parameters.

GVC Grading Overview
Our GVC© Diagnostic Study analyses corporate governance practices in detail, and evaluates if, and to what extent, good governance is translating into value to various stakeholders of the company.

The concluding report and presentation can also be followed up with Crisil monitoring the implementation of the recommendations, as an option to the company.
