Corporate Affairs
Corporate affairs that protect your reputation, shape policy, and unlock new markets
Sooner or later every growing company will bump up against the complexities of policy, regulation, and stakeholder expectations. If you operate in fast-changing or highly regulated sectors, you need to understand who shapes the rules, how decisions are made, and where the reputational risks and commercial opportunities lie.
How does TwentyThree navigate policy and regulations?
Corporate affairs at TwentyThree covers the full range of environments that surround your business, including government and regulators, investors, industry bodies, civil society, and the media. Working with EU and Nordic specialist, Charlotte Kalin, we help you map the policy and stakeholder landscape, manage your reputation, engage decision-makers, and align your growth strategy with regulatory reality in the EU, the Nordics, South Africa, and other regions.
Public affairs is a core pillar of what we do. But corporate affairs goes further. TwentyThree helps you connect your policy positions with your communications, sustainability commitments, and long-term compliance.
Instead of just reacting to new rules or emerging risks, we help you anticipate change, prepare your organisation, and show up as a credible and trusted partner in the conversations that matter most to your future.
