ICGN Global Corporate Governance Principles
The Principles generally endorse the OECD Principles of Corporate Governance (2004) and in addition highlight elements that ICGN members take into account when making investment decisions.
Member Opinion Surveys
The ICGN conducts ad-hoc member opinion surveys on a range of issues. The survey analysis helps the ICGN to reflect market experience and opinion when forming responses to policy consultations. The latest survey was conducted in 2007 and focused on investor priorities for reform in financial reporting and auditing.

Best Practice Consultations
ICGN guidance is kept under regular review to ensure they are timely and relevant. All initiatives are subject to extensive consultation with members before being put forward for formal adoption.
Using the guidance
The ICGN is an essential CalPERS partner and a global leader in advancing sound corporate governance principles. As a founding member of the ICGN, we have great confidence in its international objectives for improved accountability, transparency and other measures to enhance the alignment of corporate boards and shareowners. ICGN’s Global Corporate Governance Principles strongly inform the CalPERS international proxy voting and governance initiative framework.
