Governance Intelligence recently presented its 18th annual Corporate Governance Awards at a gala ceremony this past November in New York City. Live from the red carpet, we spoke with several esteemed guests from across the world of GRC, including Fernando Contreras, VP, chief compliance officer & corporate secretary at Baker Hughes.
In our conversation, Contreras thanks his colleagues for their contribution to his success, speaks on the ESG themes that where key in 2025 and his advice for companies entering in 2026.
The awards celebrate outstanding achievements by the governance profession in areas such as hosting AGMs, compliance and ethics programs, ESG reporting, entity management, use of technology, proxy statements, investor engagement and corporate transactions.
