Global Stewardship Codes Network

The Global Stewardship Codes Network (GSCN) convenes organisations responsible for developing, or monitoring the implementation of Stewardship Codes, Principles, and best practices. Members represent 18 countries, including Australia, Brazil, Canada, the EU, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Korea, Malaysia, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, the United Kingdom and the United States.

ICGN established the Global Stewardship Codes Network (GSCN) in 2016 to provide a forum for organisations responsible for developing and implementing stewardship codes to exchange information and ideas. ICGN’s own Global Stewardship Principles provide an international framework for investors to implement their fiduciary obligations on behalf of clients and beneficiaries. They are based on the 2003 Statement of Institutional Investor Responsibilities and offer aspirational standards, applied in a flexible manner as appropriate to the circumstances of individual investors.

The following links direct you to stewardship codes and contact details for the organisations responsible for them. If you would like to include a code in this section please contact policy@icgn.org.
