“In reflecting on the value of the ICGN we should not overlook the very important social function it plays. At times pioneers can find themselves isolated. Equally those who have been involved long-term can run out of energy. Support from others who share the same goals helps enormously to resuscitate spirits. There are also significant benefits to testing your arguments. Even when debate gets heated, it remains friendly and instilled with a sense of common purpose.”
The Late Alastair Ross Goobey Former ICGN Chairman writing in the 2005 Yearbook

Led by investors responsible for assets under management in excess of US$26 trillion, ICGN members are drawn from more than 45 countries. Membership is open to all professionals in the field of corporate governance including companies, advisors and others.
Our mission is to inspire effective standards of corporate governance to advance efficient markets world-wide. We achieve this through the ICGN Global Governance Principles which are implemented by:
Influencing public policy by offering a reliable source of practical knowledge and experience on high standards of corporate governance;
Connecting peers at global events to provide a forum for dialogue between companies, investors and other stakeholders; and
Informing knowledge through guidance and education to stimulate awareness of responsible share ownership.
Now, more than ever, we are challenged with driving long term sustainable investment to safeguard economic growth for future generations. Good corporate governance demanded by responsible investors in the pursuit of protecting and generating value on behalf of their beneficiaries, is vital to achieving this.
We welcome you to become an ICGN Member and participate in our work programme to bring about practical, market-led reform. Together we can help to inspire good governance world-wide.
Erik BreenICGN Chairman
Inspiring good governance for 20 years
The ICGN was created in 1995 in response to rapid growth in cross-border investment. New ‘global’ investors wanted to exchange ideas, learn from each other and deepen their understanding about governance practices outside their home market. This stimulated the creation of a ‘network’ to help raise corporate governance standards world-wide.

Driving common consensus
“The most powerful force for peace and good is through greater dependence on each other. We’re not going to get that done without strong corporate governance principles, without the level of transparency that you need for free markets and capitalism to thrive, and without consistency of regulation across markets. These are things this organization [ICGN] fights for every day.”
Ralph Whitworth Founder, Relational Investors and former Chairman, Hewlett Packard, USA
There is no other organisation like ICGN with the power to convene a global governance community and drive common consensus on universal principles. Perhaps the best example of this is the ICGN Global Governance Principles which set the tone for our work programme centred around influencing public policy, connecting peers and informing knowledge.
Our Members believe in the long term benefits of good governance and strive to make this an integral part of their approach to responsible business and investment. As we reflect on the past 20 years it causes us to consider lessons learned and priorities for the future – importantly with an active approach to reforms.
ICGN’s role is to support these efforts by providing a place to share knowledge and experience through policy initiatives, events and educational programmes. It is in this spirit that the ICGN was conceived over two decades ago and, in looking to the future, we aim to:
Increase our influence with key stakeholders as a reliable source of opinion on corporate governance issues;
Enhance dialogue between investors and companies with a common interest in creating sustained long-term value;
Educate professionals on how to integrate good governance practice in decision-making; and
Build the breadth of ICGN membership to enrich diversity of opinion and regional representation.
Together, ICGN Members are a formidable global force to help ensure good governance and the proper use of entrusted power. We welcome you to become part of our network and help shape the ICGN work programme for many years to come.

“Full-scale reform is taking place in Japan with initiatives such as the Corporate Governance Code and the Japan Stewardship Code. Insights provided by the ICGN as part of the consultation process have been invaluable in providing a global perspective on high standards and practices. This is crucial for Japan’s continued positive journey in improving governance standards for companies and investor alike.”
George Iguchi Corporate Governance Officer, Nissay Asset Management, Japan
Influencing policyWidely regarded as a reliable source of investor opinion, the ICGN is regularly invited to provide advice and expertise to help raise governance standards around the world. This is inspired by the ICGN Global Governance Principles, first published in 2004. The Principles are the ICGN’s primary standard for well governed companies and investors alike, emphasising a shared interest in protecting and generating sustainable corporate value.
Driven by ICGN Members themselves, our policy committees are instrumental in ensuring that responsible share ownership contributes to ongoing reform of global capital markets for sustainable economic growth.
Shareholder rights committee seeks to ensure that investors are equipped to protect and generate value through effective company monitoring and engagement.
Shareholder responsibilities committee advocates high standards of investor governance as well as their external stewardship responsibilities.
Integrated business reporting committee promotes meaningful disclosure that takes a holistic account of how companies protect value for informed investment decision-making.
Accounting and auditing committee seeks to ensure that financial reports meet the needs of investors and are prepared in accordance with high quality standards and assurance.
Business ethics committee promotes high standards of corporate culture and integrity in business strategy and operations.
Remuneration committee encourages alignment of interests of executive with those of investors to ensure remuneration plans motivate sustainable value creation.
Corporate risk oversight committee encourages the effective oversight of risk management and the appropriate reflection of risk in corporate strategy and capital allocation.

Connecting peersInternational events
Over 12,000 people have participated in ICGN conferences in 30 cities since 1995. Over that time, the ICGN has built a reputation as the premier governance of the year for investors and companies alike. We take care to ensure high quality programmes to stimulate lively debate and thought-provoking discussion. Participants benefit from:
Unparalleled networking opportunities
Workshops on global governance priorities
Lively plenary debates and interaction
Audience voting on investor-led viewpoints
Connection Days: company and investor engagement
Since 2011, ICGN has invited companies to Connection Days, held alongside ICGN events, to meet with a critical mass of global investors. Board directors can discuss governance priorities beyond a handful of the company’s largest investors to a more international group. Investors benefit from direct communication with board directors for meaningful dialogue. Engagements have included: Societe Generale, Lafarge, GDF Suez, Telecom Italia, Pirelli, Prysmian, Generali, Mitsubishi, HOYA, Sony, Red Electrica, Ferrovial and many more.

Scholarships
In 2007, the first ICGN scholarships were awarded to support individuals working in difficult environments to promote good corporate governance reform at a local level. Since that time, over 60 individuals from 40 countries have benefited from the programme which is generously supported by Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Ltd and Hermes Fund Managers.
“It was enlightening to learn directly from fund managers about developments in corporate governance. The practical exercises were also beneficial in appreciating the concepts and the facilitators were excellent.”
Nusula Kizito Nassunda, Senior Legal Officer, Capital Markets Authority, Uganda
Policy committee meetings
Led by ICGN Members themselves, our policy committees represent the ICGN position on a range of governance issues. We convene annual meetings to determine priorities for the year ahead based on perspectives from investors, companies and other stakeholders. Local and international standard setters often join ICGN committee meetings to understand issues of highest priority to the global investment and governance community.
“ICGN events provide an opportunity to participate in thoughtful debate with peers, companies, and regulatory bodies on governance issues. The high quality programmes deliver essential information and learning for a global investor such as the French Reserve Fund and we value our ICGN membership.”
Anne-Marie Jourdan, Chief Legal Officer Fonds de Reserve Pour Les Retraites, France
Global Network of Investor Associations
In 2013, the ICGN established the GNIA as an international collaboration of investor-led organisations with a common interest in promoting shareholder rights and responsibilities. The network enhances the capacity of national associations to share governance related priorities beyond local jurisdictions to an international audience thereby contributing to global governance reform efforts. Members are drawn form Australia, Brazil, Canada, Hong Kong, Italy, Malaysia, Netherlands, UK and the USA.
“Collaboration and exchange of ideas between like-minded players can lead to real improvements in governance standards at a global level. The ICGN’s policy committees, conferences and Global Network of Investor Associations provide a great forum for this dialogue, and are a vital supplement to ACSI’s corporate engagement and advocacy program in Australia.”
Paul Murphy, Executive Manager, Institutional Investment & Policy, Australian Council for Superannuation Investors

Informing knowledgeESG Programmes
ICGN-INSEAD Course
Jointly developed by ICGN and INSEAD, a world leading business school, Managing ESG Risks and Opportunities for Long Term Value Creation is a course tailored for senior investment professionals and corporate executives. The programme brings investors and companies together to enhance a common understanding of ESG risk analysis, valuation and mitigation. It is tailored for individuals whose roles are not primarily focused on corporate governance or sustainability and who play a key role in investment and business decision-making. The two-day programme takes place at INSEAD campuses in France and Singapore and is held twice a year.
ICGN Annual Course
Following an award from the European Commission in 2011, the ICGN Annual ESG Programme is the world’s first in-person programme for investors on how to integrate ESG factors in investment decision making processes. The programme primarily attracts investors to share experience and knowledge around how to identify, analyse and integrate ESG factors across the investment chain. Developed and delivered by investors for investors, the course has been delivered eight times to over 170 participants and takes place around the time of the ICGN Annual Conference and is held in different locations every year.
Academic meetings
Strengthening ties with leading business schools, the ICGN convened the first Academic Meeting with Nyenrode Business School in Amsterdam in 2014. This was followed by the London Business School in 2015 in partnership with the European Corporate Governance Institute. The meetings
present an opportunity for academia and capital market practitioners to share knowledge and experience on a range of corporate governance issues.
Yearbook
First published in 2005, the ICGN Yearbook draws on insights from some of the world’s leading commentators on corporate governance issues. It provides a memento of governance developments over the years and serves as a point of reference on topical issues of the day.
“We often presume our challenges to be unique, but when we engage we find resonance in our diverse experiences. Reading the contributions to the ICGN Yearbook left me with a clear sense of universal issues and common challenges and that our shared experience in the search for local solutions is an invaluable resource. Regular, focused and frank disclosure is imperative to continuous improvement the world over.”
Loren Wulfsohn, former Group Secretary, Standard bank Group Ltd, South Africa
Learning into practice… “Since attending the ICGN programme, we are creating an ESG report for each of our portfolio companies with green, yellow and red light indicators for all of the key areas and action steps to deal with sub-optimal circumstances. We have assigned one of our investment associates to be our “ESG Integrator”, and are driving a more proactive dialogue with our portfolio companies on progressive corporate governance policies such as proxy access and environmental and social policies such as employee relations, supply chain risks and environmental and safety risks.”

Sustainable
capitalism
Why is the theory of sustainable
capitalism so difficult to achieve in
practice? Indra Nooyi provides the
answers and a way forward.
WWW.ICGN.ORG 31
THE VIEW FROM THE BOARDROOM
Much has been written about
sustainable capitalism. It’s been
the subject of discussion for many
forums, prestigious think tanks and
academic institutions. Some people
have lauded the concept. Many have
criticised it. Many companies have
actually struggled to deliver on this
notion. What is it and why is it so
difficult to deliver on?
When I think of sustainable capitalism,
I’m referring to private enterprise that
manages itself for a certain level of
returns, balanced with the duration
and sustainability of these returns. It
is business that balances stakeholder
concerns with shareholder needs, and
most importantly, it is business that
recognises that, wherever it operates,
it does so responsibly.
Engine Charlie
There’s an enlightening story about
sustainable capitalism that begins in
the early 1950s. It concerns a man
named Charles E. Wilson, nicknamed
‘Engine Charlie’ because he was the
CEO of General Motors.
In those days, General Motors was
truly an iconic American company.
During World War II, Engine Charlie’s
General Motors had secured the
largest government contract of any
corporation. After the war ended, GM
controlled 50 per cent of the domestic
automobile market and employed
more than 600,000 people.
When President Eisenhower needed
to select a Secretary of Defense,
Engine Charlie seemed like the natural
– and uncontroversial – choice. But
then came the confirmation hearings,
where the Senate Armed Services
Committee asked Engine Charlie if he,
as the Secretary of Defense, would
be prepared to make decisions that
were in the national interest, but were
adverse to General Motors’ interests.
Charlie responded with one of the
most infamous political gaffes ever:
“What is good for General Motors,”
Wilson reportedly said, “is good
for America.”
“What’s good for GM is good for
America” became a cultural proof
point, indicative of the ‘arrogance’
of the business community. But the
irony is that Engine Charlie never said
that. In fact, he had said exactly the
opposite. He said: “I cannot conceive
of a situation where America’s
interests and General Motors’
interests do not align, because for
years, I thought that what was good
for the country was good for
General Motors.”
These words, stated back in the
1950s, are profound: “What is good
for the country is good for General
Motors.” I would like to pick up on
this theme and explore “what is good
for our country” as a starting point for
sustainable capitalism.
Measuring performance
We can all agree that any successful
economy has to have economic
growth and security. This is only
possible with a thriving private
enterprise that generates strong
returns, and constantly renews itself
to sustain these returns for the long
term. For a country to be able to
thrive, plan and invest in important
priorities like education, healthcare
and infrastructure, it has to have
the confidence in both the level and
duration of returns from
private enterprise.
We all know how to manage for a
desired level of performance. We
have quarterly financials, constant
share price updates, and financial
dashboards that show us the
level of performance at any
given moment.
It can be very tempting to put all our
energy and resources into maximising
the level of returns in the short
term; but the country also needs
private enterprise to manage for
the long term. This is the challenge
for business leaders: to effectively
balance both the level and duration of
performance in an environment that
perhaps does not fully appreciate the
need for this balance.
This is no easy task. Managing for
duration means that you do not
generate wealth and opportunity
today at the expense of others, or at
the expense of future generations,
shareholders and society alike. It
requires adequate levels of investment
by every company in areas like long-
term research and development,
people training and development,
and organisational renewal so
that companies can address the
challenges they face to operate
successfully in today’s volatile,
global, highly-competitive, uncertain
environment. It also means worrying
about a company’s impact on society.
A company that keeps its costs down
by deliberately dumping its waste
into a nearby river may be delivering
the levels of profit a company needs
in the short term, but it’s certainly
not delivering on duration, because
somebody else has to pick up those
costs to society.
Unfortunately, I’m not sure that
private enterprise is delivering on the
imperative of sustainable capitalism.
In fact, I can say with a great degree
of confidence that, despite the
awareness of the incredible long-
“It can be very tempting to put
all our energy into maximising
short-term returns, but the
country also needs private
enterprise to manage for the
long term.”

Awards
The inaugural ICGN Awards were presented at the 2001 ICGN Annual Conference in Tokyo to Sir Adrian Cadbury (UK), Ira M. Millstein (USA) and Professor Hasung Jang (Korea). Since then, the ICGN Award has been given annually to individuals who have demonstrated exceptional achievements in the field of corporate governance and contributed to significant improvements in one or more jurisdictions.
“Engaging shareholders and improving communication is a passion for me, so I am honored and humbled to receive the 2010 ICGN award. I have learned so much from my colleagues at the ICGN and always appreciate the opportunity to discuss the tough issues we face. Their insights have been invaluable in the development of some of the innovative corporate governance practices I have been able to put in place.”
Margaret Foran, Chief Governance Officer and Secretary, Prudential Financial (USA)
