Decomposing the Value of Corporate Culture
Jillian Grennan, Fuqua School of Business, Duke University

Extracting signals of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) metrics relies on quantifying qualitative concepts, yet divergent approaches have resulted in inconsistent and confusing constructs.

Please join Harry Mamaysky, professor of professional practice at Columbia Business School, Russ Wermers, and Paul Winter, as they examine how financial markets interact with news about the COVID-19 pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic has seen some inspired corporate responses, such as Unilever donating €100 million of food and sanitizer, and guaranteeing the jobs of all 150,000 workers including contractors. But what if you’re a small business without millions to donate? Or in an unrelated industry without relevant products to give? This talk will discuss what it means to be a responsible business, for companies of all sizes and in all industries.
