The Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) is an investor initiative in partnership with UNEP FI and the UN Global Compact. Founded in 2006 and supported by the United Nations, the PRI has become the leading network for investors demonstrating their commitment to responsible ownership and long-term, sustainable returns. Pension funds, insurance companies, sovereign/development funds, investment managers and service providers make up the PRI network. Our goal is to grow investor interest in environmental, social and corporate governance issues (ESG), share best practice and support signatory needs in their fulfilment of the six PRI Principles.

ICGN is an investor-led organisation of governance professionals. Our members are based in over 40 countries with investors responsible for assets under the management of US$77 trillion. Our network includes the world’s largest public pension funds and asset managers. We focus on the “G” because G is key! Governance is about how companies are run, and how long-term sustainable economic returns are generated. It’s also how we can solve some of the newer and urgent issues that the corporate world needs to grapple with. That’s why we focus our networking, education and policy impact on material governance issues, advocating for high standards in corporate governance and stewardship, in line with our members’ fiduciary responsibilities.

Designed to save management time and make the best use of advisers we can combine trusteeship with our specialist scheme management service. Our scheme secretaries can act as outsourced pension managers or as professional minute writers. They are also able to provide project management across a variety of different areas, all of which are designed to support the different aspects of effective scheme management, whether that is: Selecting an adviser, such as an actuary, investment consultant, risk broker or legal adviser. Undertaking an operational review to ensure the current administration whether inhouse or outsourced is delivering an effective service to members. Reviewing the Trustee Board and the governance framework to bring an independent perspective to existing processes. Our clients, choose us to work with us not just for our expertise and professionalism but also because of our friendly and flexible approach, that ensures whether we are dealing with a small scheme or a large multi-employer we care about delivering the very best service.
