SUMMARY:All talk (and no action)?
DESCRIPTION:What does stakeholder capitalism look like in practice\, and what does it really mean for businesses?  \n\n\n\nStakeholder capitalism has been a popular term at international summits and in boardrooms in recent years一and for good reason. Even before the covid-19 pandemic\, global crises such as climate change were forcing overdue conversations about the role of business in society. And CEO after CEO announced their commitment to go beyond shareholder primacy to provide value for all\, in order to contribute to a fairer and more sustainable future.But words are one thing; action is quite another. And while the theory of stakeholder capitalism一taking into account the needs of all stakeholders and favouring long-term value creation一may sound straightforward enough\, the practice is less so.The challenge for business is to translate concept into reality\, and good intention into outcome. For businesses to embrace stakeholder capitalism\, they need to understand its tenets and how they can organise their company around them. Not only that\, companies must be able to measure and communicate their impact to investors\, employees and customers\, a task far more challenging than reporting quarterly earnings.Stakeholder capitalism may have plenty of proponents\, but these are matched by its detractors. Some believe businesses exist primarily to make a profit\, while others deride stakeholder capitalism as nothing more than corporate bluster. But can businesses prove them wrong?Programmed by Economist Impact and supported by Enel\, this webinar will bring together business executives\, academics\, investors and thinkers to examine how businesses can take stakeholder capitalism from concept to reality. The questions that will be addressed include:  \n\n\n\nHow can companies organise around the stakeholder capitalism principle? What are the greatest challenges in moving away from a shareholder-primacy model? How can businesses effectively measure and communicate the value created for stakeholders? How can they go beyond PR-talk? Does stakeholder capitalism make for good business? What potential advantages could it bestow on companies?What is the experience of companies that have embraced stakeholder capitalism? What lessons can be learned from their example? Is stakeholder capitalism the best way for businesses to deliver value to society? Is that the role of private industry? Is the dominance of the stakeholder model a fait accompli?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by economistimpact\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.

SUMMARY:Sustainable Finance in 2022: Putting Europe's Ambition into Practice
DESCRIPTION:Post COP26\, the financial sector has a key role to play in supporting the urgent transition to a sustainable economy. Governments and regulators around the world are stepping up efforts to integrate climate and sustainability into regulation\, impacting an ever larger part of financial transactions\, products\, firms\, and entire value chains. 2022 is\, in many ways\, the year that sustainable finance is expected to become truly mainstream. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEurope has been a global champion in the sustainable finance agenda\, and the implementation of key EU legislation like the EU Taxonomy and Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation has now begun. Market participants are grappling with the practical challenges behind this effort in Europe and beyond\, as regulators around the world are considering their own approaches to appropriate disclosure\, oversight\, and enforcement. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for a discussion on: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n• The importance and influence of global initiatives such as the Task Force on Climate-related Finance Disclosures (TCFD) on the policy agenda \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n• The EU sustainable finance agenda under the spotlight: achievements thus far and expectations for 2022 and beyond \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n• Practical considerations for the industry as ESG regulation becomes a reality. What are the challenges and opportunities?The event will feature opening remarks from Mary Schapiro\, Vice Chair for Global Public Policy at Bloomberg and Special Adviser to the Founder\, Head of the TCFD Secretariat\, and Vice Chair for the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero\, which will be followed by an interactive fireside chat with Alexandra Jour-Schroeder\, Deputy Director-General at the European Commission’s DG for Financial Stability\, Financial Services and Capital Markets Union (FISMA)\, and a high-level industry panel on the challenges and opportunities ahead.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by business\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.
