Multi-Stakeholder Capitalism

04 JANUARY 2022

Listen on

As capitalism becomes more multi-stakeholder focused, investors care not only about the end—returns—but increasingly, the means to that end—how they get those returns.

That’s according to Ron O’Hanley, Chairman and CEO of State Street, one of the world’s largest asset management companies. In a new episode of CEO Perspectives, he sits down with President and CEO Steve Odland to discuss multi-stakeholder capitalism—the challenges, opportunities, and what lies ahead.

Tune in for insights on:

Addressing competing demands: How should CEOs balance the needs of multiple constituencies?
Unpacking index funds: What is permanent capital? How does it influence both the long-term strategy of a business and the way shareholders engage with that business?
Creating long-term value for the business and the community: How should investors, management teams, and boards think about the corporation’s role in society?
The future of ESG: Where is ESG going for companies? What does nirvana look like, and how will we know when we’re there?
