Purpose of the association<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The APIA Swiss association aims to be the centre of excellence in the field of SMEs\u2019 governance. Our members, who are directors-executives, are the valued contacts of SMEs\u2019 executives.<\/p>\n

APIA\u2019s mission is to promote and professionalize the function of Independent Director through its actions and collective efforts.<\/p>\n

APIA believes that good governance guided by the public interest contributes to the company\u2019s sustainable performance. In our opinion, the public interest covers four aspects: the durability of the company as a legal entity, the interest of the shareholders, the contribution to the company\u2019s project, and the creation of value for stakeholders.<\/p>\n

We favour a pragmatic approach adapted to the context of SMEs. It is based on the independence and professionalism of our members, whose actions are aimed at disseminating good governance practices with the aim of ensuring the sustainable performance of the company and not just compliance.<\/p>\n
