We are delighted to announce that the University of Aberdeen Business School will be hosting the 23rd Workshop on Corporate Governance and Investment (WCGI) on 27-28 September 2024 in Aberdeen, Scotland.
The theme of the 23rd WCGI is "Reimagining CSR and ESG for Sustainable Investment and Economic Growth". Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) are increasingly recognized as mechanisms for fostering positive corporate societal and environmental impacts. They have garnered attention from researchers, the business community, investors, governments, regulators, and the public. However, as CSR and ESG gain prominence, debates on their effectiveness have surfaced. In light of these discussions, our workshop aims to examine the complexities of both CSR and ESG.
Scholars working in the field of corporate governance are invited to submit their papers on any topic in corporate governance by 3 June 2024 to the following email address: ali.bayat@abdn.ac.uk. Please include "WCGI2024" in the subject line.
