Policy

ICGN Principles

 

ICGN Principles serve as an international source of best practice which influences corporate governance regulation  and standard setting around the world. They are also used by ICGN Members as benchmarks in assessing investee company governance practices, and frequently referenced by regulators, standard-setters,  and policymakers in their work around corporate governance and investor stewardship.

Policy Outputs

ICGN policy outputs include high-level letters, Viewpoints, and guidance in response to regulatory and market-led initiatives. These assist regulators, standard-setters and policymakers in their decision-making processes concerning legislation and voluntary frameworks.

ICGN Committees are regularly invited to provide comment letters, viewpoints and guidance statements in response to national and international regulatory developments.
