How to get your Stakeholder Capitalism Right

Stakeholder capitalism is a business model or economic system that supports the interests of all stakeholders. Companies can be structured to provide long-term value that benefits all stakeholders rather than focusing on short-term earnings or dividends for shareholders.

Here is a little description of the differences between shareholders and stakeholders.

Why is stakeholder capitalism gaining momentum right now?

Today, there are several reasons why stakeholder capitalism is becoming more prominent. But these two reasons are the main ones:

More individuals feel that businesses should be held accountable for their activities

More individuals feel that businesses should be held accountable for their activities and possible repercussions on future generations, particularly in terms of environmental sustainability.

Companies that make the incorrect decision risk facing criticism, problems attracting new personnel, and backlash from employees, customers, and the broader public.

As a result, profit is becoming more tied to a company’s social and environmental impact.

The economic environment is more global than ever

Second, the economic landscape is more global than ever before. People are becoming more conscious that the acts of each individual and organisation have the capacity to have an influence on the earth and the larger community. As a result, a company’s prospective stakeholders might be almost anyone.

In light of this, the stakeholder capitalism model may be unavoidable – a natural step from shareholder capitalism and perhaps state capitalism.
