BACKGROUND:
In recent years, corporations have faced mounting pressure to take positions on divisive political issues, often to the detriment of their core mission and stakeholder trust. The Statement of Principles on the Purpose of a Corporation calls for a realignment of business priorities toward economic excellence and accountability to shareholders. This webinar offers a first look at these principles and a robust conversation about restoring focus to what makes business good for everyone. The core principles outlined by the G4B coalition include:
1. Affirming the creation of economic value as the primary purpose of business.
2. Holding boards and executives accountable to shareholders while respecting all stakeholders.
3. Rejecting the politicization of business and its resources.
4. Advancing societal welfare through excellence in business operations.
