Global Future Council on Investing
Global Future Council on Investing
Council mission and objectives
Through the allocation of capital to countries, industries and individual businesses, investors have significant influence on the business practices of their investees and are a key influencer in shaping a more long-term and sustainable global economy. The Global Future Council on Investing will bring its thought leadership and insight to bear on how the investment industry is evolving in the face of a greater focus by investors and corporates on environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues as well as the shift from shareholder to stakeholder capitalism.
Forum Council Managers:
- Meagan Andrews, Community Curator, Shaping the Future of Investing, World Economic Forum
- William Hoffman, Platform Curator, Shaping the Future of Investing, World Economic Forum
Mobilizing thought leadership for impact
The Global Future Councils serve as a brain trust for leaders from government, business and civil society, and support the Forum’s mission by bringing together experts bound by a shared mission to discuss the most critical issues, generate insights and analysis, and collaborate in shaping agendas.
