The Model Mandate guidance was originally published by International Corporate Governance Network (ICGN) in 2012 to help asset owners to express what they expected of the asset managers that they engaged, and to reflect those expectations in contracts and mandates. Its particular focus was on the parts of the mandate relating to the investment approach, stewardship, ESG and the manager’s accountability to their clients.
ICGN Viewpoints are topical reports produced to enhance member awareness of emerging governance issues.

Stewards Can Engage to Enhance Corporate PerformanceType: News / press release , tagged withEvidence of significant environmental challenges has triggered urgent calls for nations and businesses to transition towards greener, resilient and climate-neutral economies and societies. Yet, despite clear evidence and compelling calls to action, the issue remains highly politicised. While governments struggle to gain consensus on workable policies and solutions, businesses have been asked to play an even greater role in addressing climate-related challenges.
For the transition to a greener economy to be achieved and sustainable it must be ‘just’ — aiming to be fair and inclusive, able to create decent work opportunities, and aspiring to leave no one behind. This ICGN Viewpoint focuses on the role of good corporate governance and investor stewardship in contributing to a just and sustainable transition to achieving a resilient, net-zero economy.Type: News / press release , tagged withTags
