CED’s Shareholder vs. Stakeholder Capitalism with Janet Foutty

Sustaining Capitalism

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 Janet Foutty. She is the Executive Chair of the Board of Deloitte, and the former Chair and CEO of Deloitte Consulting LLP. Foutty is also the co-author of the upcoming book, Arrive and Thrive: 7 Impactful Practices for Women Navigating Leadership.

“Profit is certainly a strong indication that the company is creating value, no doubt. But it says little about whether that value is created in a way that’s socially responsible, that the value created for some does not come at the expense of others. That, in my mind, sits at the heart of the conversation, and I do believe that the momentum is certainly clear.” –Janet Foutty, Executive Chair of the Board, Deloitte
