International Corporate Governance Network
International Affairs
A global initiative led by investors responsible for AuM of $70 trillion.
About us
ICGN is an investor-led organisation of governance professionals. Our members are based in over 39 countries with investors responsible for assets under the management of US$70 trillion. ICGN's mission is to inspire and promote effective standards of corporate governance to advance efficient markets and economies worldwide. We do this through three core activities: - Influencing policy by providing a reliable source of investor-led opinion and experiences on corporate governance and stewardship; - Connecting peers at global events to provide a forum for dialogue between companies, investors and other stakeholders; and - Informing dialogue through knowledge and education to enhance the professionalism of corporate governance an investor stewardship The ICGN was created in 1995 in response to rapid growth in cross-border investment. New 'global' investors wanted to exchange ideas, learn from each other and deepen their understanding about governance practices outside their home market. This stimulated the creation of a 'network' to help raise standards worldwide.
