Sovereignty: it has impact on sovereignty since it is usually a concept of a state having full authority within its borders and regulating everything. Multinational corporations like ExxonMobil and Royal Dutch Shell who are often foreign companies go against this as they cannot be controlled as easily by the respective country.

Global governance is how global affairs are managed. Its' activities that transcend national boundaries on many levels and is based on rules forced through economics and moral incentives. As both companies are involved in international business and are a global company with branches in multiple countries around the world, global governance is affected as their business transcends national borders despite the origins of the companies.
