ICGN Global Disclosure Awards

The ICGN Global Stewardship Disclosure Awards (GSD) recognise investor members that demonstrate excellence in stewardship disclosure through clear, transparent, and meaningful public reporting. The Awards celebrate organisations that effectively communicate how their stewardship policies, activities, and outcomes are implemented in practice, providing stakeholders with valuable insight into their approach to responsible investment and ownership.

Strong stewardship disclosure is fundamental to investor accountability and helps build trust with clients, beneficiaries, companies, and the wider market. By highlighting leading examples of disclosure, the Awards promote best practice in transparency, reporting, and governance, encouraging continuous improvement across the investment community.

As a long-standing advocate for high standards in stewardship, ICGN is proud to recognise investors that set the benchmark for effective disclosure and demonstrate a clear commitment to openness and accountability.
