The NAPF has been involved in the corporate governance debate for over 20 years. Through its Corporate Governance Policy, which is reviewed by members and updated regularly and is firmly based on the provisions of the Combined Code, it aims to protect the interests of its members as shareholders and to provide guidance to companies on corporate governance matters.

The NAPF regularly engages with, and is consulted by, companies on corporate governance matters such as board structures and executive remuneration. It has also been involved, on behalf of members in discussions on accounting policies and company law.

In addition the NAPF will, in response to a member request, facilitate the establishment of a Case Committee to lobby for change at a company which is seen to be underperforming. Members of the Committee are responsible for agreeing how best to approach the issues which they feel are the cause of the company's problems. The NAPF will provide any necessary support to the process.
