Investors Lead the Push for Stakeholder Capitalism

One would think that consumers would be the driving force for Stakeholder Capitalism. Ironically, it’s investors who are at the cutting edge. While not one in 1,000 Americans has ever heard of a movement that could make their work lives and consumer experiences so much better, investors increasingly see the connection between human capital management and financial performance.

This year’s annual conference of the Securities Industry Development Corporation in Malaysia is themed “Paving the Way for Profitability Through Sustainability.” The program adds an emphasis people aspect of ESG (Environmental, Social Governance), featuring a presentation on Stakeholder Capitalism by Bruce Bolger, Founder and CEO of the Enterprise Engagement Alliance at TheEEA.org and Uantchern Loh, Chief Storyteller for stakeholder engagement company Black Sun Asia Pacific.

Set for June 16-17 in Malaysia, the virtual event is open to all interested parties. Click here for more information and to register.

For over a decade, the sustainability movement has focused on the environment: this conference recognizes the importance of the “S” or social elements of ESG management.

Attracting over 400 executives from all aspects of the Malaysian business community, this event recognizes that Stakeholder Capitalism, which creates returns for investors by creating value for employees, customers, distribution partners, communities, and the environment, is a worldwide movement being driven not by customers or labor unions—but by investors.

The program on Stakeholder Capitalism will provide:

• A clear understanding of the definition—This is about Stakeholder Capitalism that grows the pie for the benefit of all—not Democratic Socialism, which takes from one stakeholder to give to another.

• A quick history and overview of the well-known influencers backing this movement.

• Ways for investors, talent and employees can cut through the public relations to identify an organization’s material human capital practices (including all stakeholders).

• Information on the human capital metrics linked to financial performance and risk.

• Ideas on what organizations need to do to implement Stakeholder Capitalism at the front lines.

• Information on the connection between Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Human Capital Management.

• What organizations can do to connect the dots between the “E” and the “S” of ESG using the same strategic and systematic approach used to transform quality in manufacturing late in the last century.

• An overview of the potential role of government in Stakeholder Capitalism.
