Toward Stakeholder Capitalism (Communications)

What the Shift Means for Senior Communications Executives

The concept of stakeholder capitalism is not new. Its origins reach back at least to the early years of the Great Depression. Where the business community is seeing change is in increased pressure for businesses to engage more publicly and act more transparently as social media platforms amplify the voices of diverse stakeholders, and investors place greater focus on stakeholder issues ranging from diversity, equity & inclusion, to sustainability, to employee well-being and workforce management, to community impact.
