NBS-PRI-ECGI Public Lecture Series - Shareholder Proposals: Past, Present, and Future
The NBS-PRI-ECGI Public Lecture Series is a new global joint initiative between Nanyang Business School (NBS), Principles of Responsible Investment (PRI) and European Corporate Governance Institute (ECGI) to facilitate the knowledge exchange between academics, practitioners, and policymakers in sustainable business.
The series provides monthly in-person or online public lectures. Each lecture will feature a leading academic to present cutting-edge research on a specific topic, and an industry expert to moderate the session, sharing insights from the field and also tailoring audience questions in a way to better bridge the gap between research and practice.
The lecture examines how shareholder proposals evolved from traditional corporate governance tools into a key mechanism for advancing sustainability and disclosure on issues such as climate change, human capital, and political spending. It also explores the recent decline in support for sustainability proposals amid political backlash and regulatory changes, and considers their future role in sustainable business and investment.
