17 January 2022 - Societal expectations of companies are rapidly changing as companies are confronted with wide-ranging responsibilities that extend beyond maximizing near-term shareholder return. Those expectations encompass an expanding list of stakeholders – including the labor force, suppliers, communities, and governments – whose needs increasingly demand consideration. In response, companies are recognizing the importance of considering key stakeholders in business decisions, but they have struggled to consistently implement practices that support long-term value in a multi-stakeholder context. That lack of consistency in operationalizing a multi-stakeholder strategy has left many investors – and other stakeholders – skeptical of firms that pursue this approach to business.

The fact that investors have broader responsibilities is clear. Defining those responsibilities is not. Investors need a common way to identify, anticipate, and communicate responsibilities before they can aspire to fulfill them across their organizations.
