Sarah Kaplan participates in a panel discussion on The Agenda about the US Business Roundtable announcement repudiating the primacy of the shareholder and what it means for Canada.
Last month, some of America’s top business people released a statement saying, among other things: “CEOs work to generate profits and return value to shareholders, but the best-run companies do more.” It was part of a wider call for change in how companies do business. Joining Steve Paikin in a discussion about success beyond profits is Phillip Haid, of the social impact marketing agency PUBLIC Inc.; Toby Heaps, of Corporate Knights Inc.; Tanya van Biesen, of the digital marketing agency Catalyst; and Sarah Kaplan, author of “The 360 degree Corporation: From Stakeholder Trade-offs to Transformation.”
