B Lab Advances Stakeholder Capitalism
I had the pleasure of attending B Lab’s National Leadership Gathering last week in Long Branch, New Jersey. B Lab is a non-profit organization dedicated to using the power of business to solve social and environmental problems. “B Corporations” explicitly seek to balance the needs of all stakeholders, and this requirement is written into their charter. Two States (Maryland and Vermont) have passed B Corp legislation, and many others are considering it, including New York.

The End of Investment?
I recently attended a school function and was chatting with a friend (“Pam” for the sake of this post) who is a buy-side analyst at a major asset management firm, the kind that manages hundreds of billions of pension fund assets, and 401Ks. Pam’s firm, like many mainstream asset management companies, is a signatory of the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI). The first two Principles state: 1. We will incorporate ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) issues into investment analysis and decision-making processes. 2. We will be active owners and incorporate ESG issues into our ownership policies and practices.
