Who we are

Our Mission

We are a global, investor‑led community and our members manage over $100 trillion USD on behalf of their clients and beneficiaries. 

We aim to strengthen markets and create long‑term value through effective corporate governance policy and practice.

We focus our networking, education and policy advocacy on material governance issues, in line with our members’ fiduciary responsibilities.

Our Purpose

Policy: We shape global governance standards through evidence-based policy engagement.

Education: We build governance leadership through expert knowledge
