Established in 1961, the Gold Mercury Awards are the first global ‘Visionary Governance®’ Awards. Our laureates, members and supporters include some of the most important thinkers and doers, world leaders, governments, companies and organisations in the world.

The Gold Mercury Awards purpose has always been to promote Visionary Governance®, advance sustainability and foster peaceful relations and international cooperation. This, allows sponsors to be recognised as supporters and thought-leaders on major global issues.

Organising Gold Mercury Global Forums and Award Ceremonies has always been part of our mission to bring together the world’s greatest minds to debate crucial world issues and affairs. This gives our sponsor partners privileged access to an influential group of world leaders, experts and thinkers and the possibility to build relationships of the highest level, as well as demonstrate an interest in global challenges and intellectual debate.

Gold Mercury works with partners and supporters to build a close relationship that lasts for years in the advancement of global governance and sustainable development.
