Global Networks

ICGN facilitates two international networks of organisations involved in advancing the highest standards of corporate governance and investor stewardship. These networks create opportunities for best practice and knowledge sharing and promote connectivity across the global community.

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.

Will Farrell

Federated Hermes
Assistant Manager, EOS
London

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.
