Shareholder Executive

The Shareholder Executive states on its website:
:The Shareholder Executive was created in September 2003 to improve the government's performance as a shareholder in businesses. We currently have a portfolio of 29 businesses in which the Government has a shareholding. Our role is to work with government departments and management teams to help these businesses perform better. We want to create a climate of ownership that, while challenging, is genuinely supportive and provides the framework for them to succeed. We advise Ministers and officials on a wide range of shareholder issues including objectives, governance, strategy, performance monitoring, board appointments and remuneration. We also have a wider role as a corporate finance resource within government. This is applied beyond the portfolio of government-owned businesses, for example to applications for support under regional and industrial assistance programmes Shareholder Executive Home Page, Accessed 5 December 2008 .
==Member organisations==
The Shareholder Executive currently manages a portfolio of 29 businesses, with a combined turnover of around £24 billion, equivalent to equivalent to around 1.8% of GDP. It either advises Ministers directly (Executive) or advises shareholder teams in the respective Departments (Advisory).
