CED’s Shareholder Versus Stakeholder Capitalism podcast series consists of compelling conversation with CEOs about whether there is a shift towards stakeholder capitalism underway and the implications of the debate on the CEOs’ leadership roles within their companies and in society. The podcast series continues the roundtable discussions launched by The Conference Board for sitting C-suite executives to discuss the practical significance of the shift from a shareholder to stakeholder focus. In this discussion, CED President Dr. Lori Esposito Murray sits down with Mike Swinford, CEO of Numotion. “The vast majority of good companies have historically always understood that long-term sustainability for shareholders requires responsibly focusing on stakeholders as well. I think the shift is how stakeholders are much more informed in real time, and I think with ubiquitous information at your fingertips in real time, there is much more transparency and a heightened awareness around stakeholders. That’s really becoming front and center.” – Mike Swinford, CEO of Numotion.
