The “shareholder comes first” has for years been
the mantra of the Business Roundtable, a group
that represents the most powerful CEOs in
America and their thinking.
The group’s new principles on the role of
a corporation released this week imply a
foundational shift, putting shareholders on more
equal footing with others who have an interest
in a corporation to some degree — including
workers, suppliers, customers and, essentially,
society at large.
