The ICGN Future Leaders Committee aims to integrate the perspectives of early career professionals into ICGN’s policy work. Following its appointment in January 2025, the Committee decided to focus on three key themes: Capital markets competitiveness, Executive remuneration and Board effectiveness. Its members have produced videos and articles to share their insights and stimulate debate on important corporate governance issues. The views expressed are those of the individual members of the Future Leaders Committee and do not necessarily reflect the positions of the ICGN Secretariat or its members.
