ICGN 2022 Awards Shortlists

The purpose of these awards is to recognise those investors who provide genuine insight into their stewardship policies and how they are implemented, and whose approach to disclosure provides a model that others might follow.

There are different award categories for asset owners and asset managers. There will be separate awards for larger and smaller owners and managers, making four awards in total. A larger asset owner or manager is defined as one that is responsible for assets under management above USD 80 bn (£60 bn).

The Winners of these Awards were announced at the ICGN Proxy Season Review in London on November 16th 2022.
