This book provides a legal and interdisciplinary take on financial institution culture, which remains an important topic today for securing the resilience and sound management of banks and financial firms generally. The interaction between ESG orientations and their impact on financial firm culture is also explored through discussions on executive remuneration, risk management and governance developments in the financial sector. This book is a valuable addition to regulators, academics and financiers libraries. -- Iris H-Y Chiu, University College London, UK This important book presents original and valuable contributions on the role of regulation in the corporate governance and organisational culture of financial firms, underlining the significance, unpredictability and complexity of these issues and showing how regulation can be shaped to meet the challenges and still remain appropriately nimble. -- Philip Rawlings, UCL and Queen Mary University of London, UK An important contribution to advancing the recognition of the critical importance of purpose, culture, ethics and governance to financial services and the need to place these at the very heart of business models. Thought provoking and informative, we would encourage all with an interest in achieving enhanced culture and behaviour in financial services to read and refer to it frequently! -- Marion Kelly and Jade McDonagh, Irish Banking Culture Board, Ireland As this fascinating new book demonstrates, corporate culture is rapidly gaining a central place in the pantheon of corporate governance. I have no doubt that this volume will be a key reference for governance scholars and financial practitioners for some time to come. -- From the foreword by Roger Barker, Institute of Directors, UK
