Integration of sustainability principles, often referred to as ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance), is another key highlight. Contributors underscore the increasing importance of sustainability in corporate decision-making, discussing varied regional approaches, particularly contrasting market-driven models in the West with policy-driven models in Asia.
The volume also provides insightful analyses on the role of controlling shareholders and their impact on corporate governance, related to ECGI’s family capitalism initiative. Articles examine how these stakeholders can influence long-term stability or short-term pressures, depending on their alignment with corporate goals.
Finally, the evolving concept of corporate purpose is explored, emphasizing the inclusion of broader stakeholder interests for more inclusive and sustainable governance models.
We hope this collection informs and inspires critical thinking about the future of corporate governance. Thank you for joining us on this intellectual journey with the ECGI Blog.
