HEC Talks with Edward Freeman: Is the common good too serious to be left to business?

We are delighted to welcome you for an exceptional edition of HEC Talks with Professor Edward Freeman, the father of Stakeholder Theory. Join us on March 4th 2024 at 6.00 p.m. in Amphi Bellon for his keynote address "Stakeholder Theory and the Next Stage of Capitalism" followed by a dialogue with HEC Professor Rodolphe Durand.

This event has a special significance as we will gather to honor Professor Freeman for his profound contribution to the field. Stakeholder management plays a pivotal role in shaping contemporary business practices and remains central to our ongoing debates on the future of corporations.

At the end of the conference, Andrea Masini, the HEC Dean of Faculty, will award Professor Freeman the title of Doctor Honoris Causa in recognition of his work.
Join us in celebrating this visionary whose work has redefined the intersection of capitalism, ethics, and corporate responsibility.
