At a recent event hosted by the Wheeler Institute for Business and Development, a panel of our most distinguished economics faculty explored the cost-of-living crisis, and what it means for the UK economy.

Alex Edmans is Professor of Finance at London Business School, Academic Director of the Centre for Corporate Governance, and author of “Grow the Pie: How Great Companies Deliver Both Purpose and Profit” recently updated for the pandemic. In this podcast series, Alex explores the complex challenges facing responsible businesses, with Tom Gosling, Executive Fellow, Centre for Corporate Governance, LBS.

In this episode, Tom and Alex discuss how to incorporate ESG factors into the investment process and why we can’t always expect ESG investment strategies to outperform traditional approaches. They explore evidence on the real-world impact of different ESG investment approaches and explain why ESG investors may choose to hold “dirty” stocks such as oil companies, as they focus on engagement and activism rather than divestment.

The high level of executive pay has been a media and political target for years. In the first week of this year, the UK’s FTSE 100 CEOs earned more than the typical full-time worker will earn over the entire year. But are CEOs paid too much? Should they be paid less? But would that not cause them to leave for foreign firms or private firms? Executive pay: market or racket? These questions were at the centre of a recent event hosted by London Business School’s Centre for Corporate Governance.

What is responsible business? The chances are you’ve heard a lot about it. But what makes an organisation responsible? Should you even want to make your organisation responsible? And if you do, how can you make it work in the real world?

In this podcast Alex Edmans, Professor of Finance and Academic Director of the Centre for Corporate Governance (CCG), presents the key insights from the Centre’s flagship event for 2019.
