Balancing Profitability and Social Accountability

Tuesday, December 13, 2022
12:00–1:15 p.m. EST


 

Increasingly, companies are being judged on how they create value for multiple stakeholders—not just shareholders—and how they address their own social accountability. In this virtual conversation with Professors Debora L. Spar and George Serafeim, participants learned:

  • Ways to measure and evaluate your company’s performance in the context of grand challenges such as climate change and unequal access to opportunity.
  • How to develop an action plan to drive performance improvement on key environmental and social issues.

Debora L. Spar
Jaime and Josefina Chua Tiampo Professor of Business Administration; Senior Associate Dean, Business and Global Society


George Serafeim
Charles M. Williams Professor of Business Administration; faculty chair, Impact-Weighted Accounts Project
