Overview:
Dr. Xi Li will discuss her prize-winning paper on coordinated engagements. Her talk will cover how institutional shareholders can use their power to influence corporate behaviour through direct engagement with investee companies. Dr. Li and her co-authors study the tactics and outcomes of shareholder engagement on environmental and social (E&S) issues. They find that collaboration between shareholders substantially improves the effectiveness of E&S engagements and target performance. Analyzing a large sample of global shareholder engagements, coordinated by a prominent international network of long-term shareholders,  they find that a two-tier engagement strategy  is effective in influencing and improving target firms performance.
