Membership of new ICGN committees announced

We are proud to be launching our investor-led Global Policy Committee and Future Leaders Committee on 20 January 2025, as part of ICGN’s 30th Anniversary year.

Led by investors responsible for assets under management of $77 trillion, ICGN is an authority on global standards of corporate governance and investor stewardship. Headquartered in London, our membership is based in more than 40 countries – largely in Europe and North America, with growing representation in Asia.

The Global Policy Committee supports ICGN across its advocacy and thought leadership work. The Future Leaders Committee will enhance the integration of early career professionals’ perspectives into ICGN’s policy activities. In addition, we host ad-hoc working groups on emerging corporate governance and stewardship topics, which ICGN members can learn about in our bi-weekly policy newsletter. Details of both Committees and their members are available at: www.icgn.org/policy/icgn-committees

Will co-leads the climate change theme at EOS, the stewardship arm of Federated Hermes Limited, where his coverage includes companies in Europe and Australia, primarily financial services, energy, chemicals, and materials. Prior to joining EOS, Will worked in the energy and infrastructure investment banking team at Macquarie Capital, where he specialised in renewable energy. Before that, Will held a number of roles across the UK climate policy space, including as a parliamentary researcher for Rt. Hon. Chris Skidmore MP on climate and energy issues, and as a climate and economic policy analyst at a diplomatic institute. He was appointed as a voluntary adviser to Rt. Hon. Alok Sharma MP, President of COP26, on preparations for COP26 after co-founding a Westminster climate policy group in 2019, which engaged MPs and Members of the House of Lords to advocate for more ambition on climate action in public policy. Will has a Bachelor’s degree (1st Class Honours) in Economics from the London School of Economics and Political Science.
