About the Event:
With the goal to advance our collective thinking on shareholder engagement, the organisers presented a virtual workshop on ‘New Frontiers of Shareholder Engagement’ on 14 October 2021. The virtual workshop brought together leading scholars from three continents to discuss, in an interdisciplinary perspective, some pressing corporate governance issues, such as institutional investors’ stewardship and commitment to environmental and societal objectives, collective engagement, the resurgence of retail investors and their power to bring business corporations to pursue ESG goals. The virtual workshop explored the institutional and retail investors’ engagement with corporate governance by placing emphasis on the expectations that citizens lay in their investments and in the corporate sector from both a financial and an ESG account. The virtual workshop was divided into two sessions, during which scholars discussed their work, also allowing questions from the audience.
