Impact Investments, Workforce & Economic Mobility
As business increasingly funds solutions to educational shortfalls, climate change, and income inequality in today’s divided America, the boundaries among public, private, and civil-sector engagement are blurring. Can stakeholder capitalism take us beyond shareholder primacy to inclusive and informed social and material well-being? Social Finance CEO and Co-Founder Tracy Palandjian joined Roger Ferguson, past President and CEO of TIAA, and Natasha Lamb, Managing Partner and Co-Founder of Arjuna Capital, for a panel discussion of this topic. The panel was hosted by ClassACT HR ’73 and moderated by Leigh Hafrey, Senior Lecturer at the MIT Sloan School of Management. Watch a recording of the whole panel, or explore clips of Tracy explaining the concepts at the heart of our work, below.
