Insurance Corporate Governance Code 93 was communicated to the insurance industry of Iran in 2017. However, as the only Iranian governmental insurance organization, Iran Insurance Company has a different corporate governance structure in the insurance industry of Iran. The present study aims to propose a good corporate governance model at Iran Insurance Company. This study is applied research in terms of objectives and descriptive-survey research based on a combined methodology in terms of data collection. Semi-structured interviews were performed with fifteen experts. The final model was proposed through thematic analysis and the Delphi model with five components, including board effectiveness, transparency and disclosure, ownership institution, beneficiary management, and monitoring. The model was examined by delivering questionnaires to a total of 201 senior and middle-level managers and agency directors at Iran Insurance Company. The Kolmogorov–Smirnov test was utilized to determine data distribution, while the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) test and Bartlett’s test were used to examine measurement sample suitability. Also, the partial least square (PLS) method was employed for modeling in Smart PLS. The components were ranked through the Shannon entropy approach. The results demonstrated that board effectiveness had the largest importance among other components. The board structure and composition showed the highest weight. Among the components of board effectiveness, the separation of the chairman and CEO had the highest importance.

Todays, the issue of environmental instability and destructive environmental behavior can leave many irreparable effects and damage on future ecosystems and the lives of future generations. Method: This study aimed to present an environmental model of sustainable development in the Iranian gas industry. The present study used a qualitative with grounded theory method. In-depth interviews were conducted with 25 academic experts (professors of public administration and environmental engineering at universities in Mazandaran province) and the heads of the National Iranian Gas Company in five regions of Iran using the "rich information" sampling method. Results: The results indicated that the environmental model of sustainable development in the Iranian gas industry had 15 dimensions in terms of causal conditions. 1. Services, 2. Safety and health requirements, 3. Social responsibility, (context condition) 4. Education and learning, 5. Acculturalization, 6. Managers' attitude and awareness (intervening conditions) 7. Contractors, 8. Technical facilities and equipment, 9. Technology and technical operations (Strategy) 10. Medium and long term policies of the Ministry of Energy, 11. Continuous monitoring and evaluation of project progress, 12. Consumption management programs, 13. Pollutants management programs and consequences 14. Improved environmental performance of the gas company and 15. Moving towards sustainable development.
