According to the World Economic Forum, the technological, environmental, geopolitical, and socioeconomic transformations over the last 20 years are driving a re-examination of the traditional models of corporate governance. Governments and companies around the world are realizing the importance of environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations to the long-term financial performance and resilience of organizations. This is leading to the erosion of the distinction between the shareholder-primacy model and the stakeholder model; and the creation of new models, such as stakeholder capitalism and enlightened shareholder value.

This workshop describes this phenomenon and examines some of the developments and best practices around the world that are emerging as a result of this change.
