Founded in 1961, we have pioneered the vital importance of planetary awareness, strategic vision, and anticipatory foresight across government, business, and global affairs. We call this leadership mindset and skill Visionary Governance®.

Our mission is to foster a sustainable, cooperative, and planetary approach to Global Governance—a dynamic, multi-stakeholder system of actions, decisions, and interactions that influence the present and shape the future of our planet for both current and upcoming generations.

Who we are

Governance without great vision cannot create the sustainable future

Gold Mercury is a globally recognised, independent organisation dedicated to championing Visionary Governance® for our planet. As a think tank and advocacy group, we develop innovative ideas, solutions, tools, and frameworks to integrate sustainability and anticipatory foresight into strategic decision-making at all levels. Our mission is to make this knowledge accessible and actionable for a diverse range of stakeholders, driving progress toward planetary sustainability.

Over fifty years promoting Peace & Cooperation

With over 50 years of history, Gold Mercury International has been a global leader in advancing sustainable Global Governance, peace, cooperation, and ethical leadership. We collaborate with world leaders, international institutions, the public sector, industry, academia, and civil society to drive meaningful change. Our mission transcends borders and politics—fostering a world where cooperation thrives, and peace evolves from aspiration to tangible reality in international relations.

We hope you will join us in creating a peaceful and sustainable planet for all.

“Global Governance is not a world government. It is the ability to govern our planet ethically, cooperatively and sustainably. Global Governance is an unwritten agreement that all stakeholders will cooperate to protect this planet for future generations.”

Nicolas De Santis Cuadra, President, Gold Mercury International
