Governance Leaders Release New Book Essential to Building a Responsible and Resilient Capitalist System
London, UK, 16 June 2021 - The International Corporate Governance Network (ICGN), whose global membership includes investors responsible for assets under management in excess of US $59 trillion, releases a new book: Governance, Stewardship and Sustainability: Theory, Practice and Evidence, authored by George Dallas and Mike Lubrano. Drawing from their decades of experience, the authors provide greater clarity, rigour and guidance to practitioners about what we know—and don’t know—about stewardship, governance and sustainability. This new work explores the theoretical foundations of stewardship, linking these to day-to-day investor decision making.
Upon publication, Kerrie Waring, CEO, ICGN said: "This book, published by ICGN, takes the reader through a journey of what truly effective and impactful investor stewardship means in practice. This is artfully brought to life through George and Mike’s collective wealth of professional experience as thought-leaders in corporate governance and as seasoned stewardship practitioners in investment institutions."
George Dallas, ICGN Policy Director and Co-author said: "We present both a theoretical and practical framework for corporate governance and stewardship from an investor perspective and examine research and evidence relating to the effectiveness of governance and stewardship in practice. We provide examples of practical tools to aid in the integration of stewardship in investment decision-making, including how to evaluate a company from an ESG perspective; we also explore stewardship tactics such as monitoring, engaging, voting and reporting to beneficiaries."
Mike Lubrano, Principal, Lubrano Advisory Services, USA and Co-author said: “Every investor’s path to better integration of governance and sustainability factors in the investment process is unique. This book is intended to help those along for the journey to understand the stewardship and sustainability landscape and to navigate toward practices and solutions that add value for investors, companies and their stakeholders.”
