Frankly Speaking - A Podcast on Responsible Business

#56 Myriam Vander Stichele: Where Does The Money Flow?


Listen Later

Do our ideas about what makes companies competitive actually hinder the shift toward sustainability?

What role do share or stock buybacks have in this?

And has the move towards sustainable finance actually succeeded in providing incentives for companies to change?

As former ECB President Mario Draghi made his own proposals for returning Europe to competitiveness and President von der Leyen reveals her new proposed team, we ask if there is enough money for sustainability and competitiveness. If yes, where is it?

To discuss these related issues, Frankly Speaking welcomes Myriam Vander Stichele, senior researcher at SOMO, the center for research on multinational corporations.

You’ll hear more about:

  • Competitiveness for long term resilience of the company is still the strongest argument
    • What are share buybacks, what is happening and what are the implications for business
      • How reality is catching up and how it's time to go back to an evidence-based debate to end polarisation
        • Myriam shares how Europe must be a leader and champion the role of cooperation rather than simple economic competitiveness
