Responsible Business - How does stewardship create long-term value?

Welcome to the Responsible Business podcast, from Think at London Business School. Many companies talk about wanting to become more sustainable and purposeful. But when they face challenges, with financial targets to hit, how can they be sure that they put sustainability into practice? In this episode, London Business School’s Tom Gosling, Executive Fellow of the Centre for Corporate Governance, talks to Yolanda Courtines, Partner and Equity Portfolio Manager at Wellington Management and Chair of the Investment Stewardship Committee. Hear about how stewardship activities, such as investors’ direct engagement with boards, can translate into value over the long term. Learn about the role of companies and investors in addressing societal issues and systemic risks such as climate change. Plus, find out which key questions investors should ask themselves before deciding to take action on stakeholder matters.
