Abstract

The paper examines the specific topic within corporate governance and capital markets-stewardship principle and stewardship concept. With regard to contemporary G20/OECD Principles of Corporate Governance (2023) the role of the steward and stewardship code are discussed from a theoretical point of view and the perspective of the practice. Observation of the Principles (2023) is followed by a comparative analysis of agency theory and stewardship theory. Implementation of the stewardship codes all over the world is analyzed. Latest developments with regard to the stewardship principles and stewardship codes in the EU are discussed.
