Global Leadership in Sustainability Governance
The Sustainable Corporate Secretaries Network (SCSN) is a global community dedicated to empowering corporate secretaries and governance professionals to lead on sustainability. As organisations face increasing expectations around ESG, ethics, and long-term value creation, the corporate secretary’s role has never been more important.
The Network brings together professional associations, companies, and individual governance practitioners to advance sustainability governance, strengthen organisational resilience, and elevate the profession worldwide.
Our Vision
A global profession recognised for its leadership in embedding sustainability into the heart of governance.
Sustainability governance is no longer an optional discipline — it is a strategic necessity. Our vision is a world where every corporate secretary is equipped to guide boards, influence organisational culture, and promote responsible business practices.
Our Mission
Empowering corporate secretaries to drive sustainability and ethical governance.
Through research, training, policy dialogue, and cross-border collaboration, the SCSN works to:
- Strengthen sustainability governance frameworks across organisations
- Support boards in integrating ESG considerations into decision-making
- Advance international standards for ethical and responsible governance
- Build the capacity of governance professionals worldwide
- Elevate the corporate secretary’s role as a sustainability leader
