Argüden Governance Academy is a Turkish non-profit foundation dedicated to improve the quality of governance in public, non‑profit, private, and international organizations. The Academy was founded by ARGE Consulting in 2014, to share its governance know‑how as a public good.

The Academy conducts impact research such as Sustainability Governance Scorecard,[1][2] Municipality Governance Scorecard,[3][4] and develops Local Development Guides,[5][6] as well as developing and conducting education programs for public,[7][8][9] corporate,[10][11] and NGO leaders.[12][13][14] Academy's education programs also target children[15][16] and youth, and a vibrant Youth Network has been developed covering 40 universities in over 20 cities.[17][18]

The Academy also conducts good governance advocacy programs[19] such as leading the process of awarding the European Label of Governance Excellence (ELoGE) and School on Participatory Democracy, in collaboration with international organizations such as the Council of Europe.[20][21][22]

Argüden Governance Academy is the first Turkish institution to adopt Integrated reporting and a global pioneer among the NGOs by reporting its activities as an Integrated Report since its founding.[23][24][25] The Academy also promotes adoption of Integrated Reporting in the public sector.[26]
