Towards Responsible Wealth Creation: A Call to Stewardship

The IMD Alumni Club of the UK is delighted that Didier Cossin, IMD's Professor of Finance and Governance, has agreed to give a talk on the importance of responsibility in wealth creation. In his words:

The deep economic and geopolitical malaise we continue to witness is eroding the global ability to create wealth, with a slide
toward fragmentation and insularity. Business can be a key player in creating wealth for all for the long-term. This is the heart of stewardship. Stewardship has three requirements. First, the ability of chief executives, company owners, boards, and management to lead with impact, exercising leadership which has a clear vision and values, empowering and infusing organizational actors with a sense of purpose; second, in recognizing that wealth creation cannot occur in a vacuum, but relies on relationships with an ecosystem of actors, stewardship acknowledges the essential importance of reinforcing
societal well-being and, third, a willingness to sacrifice what is profitable today for what is beneficial in the long-term is essential in safeguarding the future.

Generously hosted by CMS at their London headquarters, Professor Cossin's talk will be followed by a reception with canapés.
