Is there a contradiction between responsible corporate actions and maximizing investors' financial returns?
What if investors don't have only a single interest in one company? What if, instead, they have diversified portfolios of interests that include the well-being of future generations?
This is the theory behind the Shareholder Commons, an organization established by Rick Alexander, Alison and Jerome's guest in this episode.
Rick is a former corporate lawyer. In 2015, Rick became Head of Legal Policy at B Lab, where he worked to create sustainable corporate governance structures around the globe.
He left that position in 2019 to develop the concepts behind The Shareholder Commons.
