The National Code of Corporate Governance for Mauritius 2016 (the “Code”) was launched in January 2017, replacing the initial Code of Corporate Governance which was introduced in October 2003. The Code comprises a set of Corporate Governance Principles and Guidance aimed at improving and guiding the governance practices of organisations in Mauritius.

Using an “apply-and-explain” methodology, the aim of the Code is to encourage high quality corporate governance with inbuilt flexibility that allow organisations to adapt their practices to their particular circumstances.
