Welcome to GIRN

As the investor relations profession becomes more global we are all increasingly having to meet the international aspirations and needs of our own members, and none of us can afford to retain a purely domestic focus. We therefore need to broaden and deepen the relationship between our societies and this was the initial premise of the Network.

Membership of GIRN is open to all societies representing primarily investor relations professionals around the world and is free to join.

The initial objective of the network is to raise the credibility of Investor Relations. This shall be achieved by focusing on three main points:

  • Exchange of ideas amongst member societies and creation of a global IR community
  • Education and Training by publishing Best Practice Guidelines and further useful material
  • Advocacy and Lobbying by suggestion of statements on regulatory or best practice issues
