Kerrie Waring: "All Stakeholders Are Important, But Only Shareholders Can Effectively Hold Boards to Account"

In this episode, I talk with Kerrie Waring, the CEO of the International Corporate Governance Network ("ICGN"), an investor-led organization established in 1995 to promote effective standards of corporate governance and investor stewardship. We discuss the history and mission of ICGN (which has grown to over 800 members in 43 countries representing $54 trillion of assets under management), investor stewardship, the debate over corporate purpose, the role of directors, corporate director trainings, the rise of ESG, diversity on boards, big tech, the impact of Covid and more.
