Invitation
7th International Sustainability Leadership Symposium
"From Short- to Long-Term: Who Cares?
Institutional Investors, Beneficiaries and Investees in Dialogue"
31 August & 1 September 2006, Swiss Re Centre for Global Dialogue,
Rüschlikon/Zürich, Switzerland
The programme is now available at
http://www.sustainability-zurich.org/site.asp?nid=1546.
The Symposium seeks to investigate approaches for long-term oriented investment
in order to achieve sustainable returns. It will gather international
professionals from the financial community, the corporate sector, civil society
and academia.
Some of our key questions will be:
- What issues are or should be taken into consideration by long-term oriented
investors? Are the commonly used valuation and rating models appropriate?
- The importance of pension funds is steadily growing. How can the ultimate
beneficiaries of entrusted money make sure that their agents pursue their
interests?
- What are the options and restrictions for institutional investors and
shareholders who want to influence the practices of companies they are
investing in?
- How can regulations and frameworks create incentives that do not impede but
encourage a focus on long-term profits?
Participants & Speakers:
Decision-makers from business, academia and civil society will share their
experiences and views in keynote speeches, plenary discussions and in-depth
workshops. Some of the high-profile speakers will be: Iris Bohnet, Associate
Professor of Public Policy, Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University /
