Awards

The ICGN Awards (Achievement and Global Stewardship Disclosure – GSD) are internationally recognised celebrating excellence in corporate governance and investor stewardship. They highlight outstanding achievements and the impactful work of professionals around the world.

ICGN Achievement Awards

The ICGN Achievement Awards recognise outstanding leadership, innovation, and impact in corporate governance and investor stewardship around the world. Each year, these Awards celebrate the individuals and organisations, collaborations and teams that set new standards of excellence, drive positive change, and contribute meaningfully to sustainable, well‑governed markets.

While each Award highlights a different dimension of governance and stewardship excellence, all share the same commitment to recognising meaningful, evidence‑based impact. Winners will be honoured at the ICGN Achievement Awards 2026 Ceremony in London on Tuesday 1 December 2026.

Previous winners of the ICGN Global Governance and Stewardship Awards since 2020 are celebrated below. These awards are recognised internationally as prestigious accolades for corporate governance and stewardship professionals – they recognise and celebrate excellence in corporate governance and investor stewardship, highlighting the work and achievements of professionals across the globe.

ICGN Global Stewardship Disclosure (GSD) Awards

The ICGN Global Stewardship Disclosure Awards (GSD) recognise investor members whose public disclosures clearly demonstrate strong stewardship disclosure practices. The Awards highlight organisations that show how their stewardship policies work in practice and demonstrate a clear commitment to transparency, reporting, and accountability—setting an example for other investors.

High‑quality stewardship disclosure is a core responsibility for investors acting on behalf of clients and beneficiaries. ICGN has long championed best practice in this area and is proud to recognise excellence through these Awards. Please note: the ICGN Global Stewardship Disclosure Award is separate from the ICGN Achievement Awards.
