Corporate Secretary & Govenda
Webinar – What stakeholder capitalism means for governance in practice
About this talk
Companies have never faced so much scrutiny of their impact on stakeholders beyond their shareholders. That attention was encapsulated in 2019 when 181 CEOs of major US companies signed a Business Roundtable statement that corporations should look to the interests of not only shareholders but also customers, employees, suppliers and communities. But events of the last 18 months – ranging from the need to protect employees during a global pandemic to a heightened focus on racial equity and greater awareness of the climate crisis – have ratcheted up discussions of stakeholder capitalism to unprecedented levels. In this webinar, our panel of experts will look beyond slogans to examine how stakeholder capitalism is working, or could work, in terms of corporate governance. Topics for discussion include: • What does stakeholder capitalism mean for board structures and board discussions? • How can the board best assess and meet employees’ needs? • How important are different stakeholder issues to investors? • What role should directors play in engagement efforts outside of investors? • What is the role of stakeholder impact assessments such as racial equity audits? • How can governance teams collect and share information with the board on the company’s impact across all stakeholder groups?

ABOUT CORPORATE SECRETARY
Corporate Secretary was founded in 2002 to help corporate secretaries and other governance professionals develop a deeper understanding of their roles and become more effective in them at a time when publicly listed companies’ regulatory compliance requirements began to escalate amid a series of high-profile corporate accounting scandals.
Corporate Secretary is a digital and print platform, providing a forum where governance experts and service providers can share their experience, insights and best practice recommendations on a wide range of critical issues, from corruption, internal investigations, e-discovery and records management to succession planning, executive compensation, proxy actions and shareholder engagement. Corporate Secretary is independently owned and today continues to serve a vital role in highlighting the achievements and expertise of a group of people who work outside the spotlight and are often isolated as the only individuals in their organizations focusing on these complex matters.
