Our mission

The Network's mission is to develop and encourage adherence to corporate governance standards and guidelines, and to promote good corporate governance worldwide.

In seeking to achieve this mission, the ICGN can draw on three unique strengths:

	the breadth of its membership base, which extends beyond financial markets and industry to include academics, regulators, union representatives as well as individuals who are leaders in their countries in both the practice and theory of corporate governance;
	its international institutional investor members which collectively represent funds under management in excess of $10trillion;
	the geographic diversity of its membership, with members drawn from over 25 countries.

These strengths add weight and credibility to the Network's representation activities. They mean that its voice is heard and its opinions are respected by governments as well as international and national organisations such as the OECD, the European Commission, the SEC and the World Bank.
