July Webinar: The Risk for the Corporation in Taking a Controversial Social Stance
Imagine being a CEO under pressure to take a public stance on a controversial social issue like racial equity, gay rights, or abortion. You know your own firm’s commitments and values, but you also know that at least some of your customers and other members of the public have different opinions, often held very strongly. Do you take a stance that is truly in line with your firm’s values? Or keep silent to avoid offending those who differ? What are the potential costs in either case? What is in the best interest of your firm’s shareholders? Your employees? Your customers, and even society at large? Larry Zicklin (BBA, ’57) discusses these questions with Karen Brenner, Executive Director of Law and Business Initiatives, NYU Stern School of Business, Paul Roth, Partner, Schulte, Roth & Zabel, and Consultant to K2 Integrity, and with Prof. David Rosenberg of the Zicklin School of Business Department of Law and Executive Director of the Robert Zicklin Center for Corporate Integrity. With an introduction by Dean Fenwick Huss and a Q&A session moderated by Associate Dean Gwen Webb.
