The ECGI Blog, launched in February 2022, is a globally recognized platform that provides a voice on corporate governance, stewardship, and corporate responsibility. Unlike academic research, which often requires a lengthy lead-in time and caveated restrictions, the Blog allows for more timely scholarly reflection. Through commentaries and analyses from the ECGI network and beyond, the Blog aims to enhance the broader understanding of this research and stimulate global debate.

As part of a broader initiative, ECGI is currently calling for a research debate to examine the tension between the advantages of capitalism and the unequal consequences that are at odds with democratic societies and the planet's future. 'Responsible Capitalism' represents an economic system that permits private ownership and the pursuit of market opportunities while simultaneously achieving societal objectives. As a pluralist research organization, ECGI does not have an institutional view, however, the articles collected in the Blog advanced both nuanced and strong opinions, making for thought-provoking reading.
