Corporate Governance

I answered an e-mail reference question last week that I thought I would share. The student wanted to identify companies that had corporate governance policies. One way to approach this question is to use a database, the Board Analyst, at the Website of The Corporate Library. It gives free access to policies of the Fortune 500 companies but you must register to use it. (The database covers many more companies than the Fortune 500 but only the 500 are free.) You can search the database by market cap, SIC code, industry group or headquarters state in addition to company name. The results page will link to the actual policy.
