It aims to get back to basics reasserting how human rights matter and rebuild trust to show that Europe cares for its people.

The Fundamental Rights Forum is the centre stage for human rights dialogue. It will build a vision of hope in a post-pandemic world, shaping and proposing ideas and solutions, in the face of pressing human rights challenges in the European Union and beyond.

It will bring together those who strive to foster strong, inclusive and cohesive democratic societies. This includes human rights institutions, defenders and practitioners, as well as a wide range of partners and social actors, with a particular focus on youth and young people.

About the Event:

With the goal to advance our collective thinking on shareholder engagement, the organisers will present a virtual workshop on ‘New Frontiers of Shareholder Engagement’ on 14 October 2021. The virtual workshop will bring together leading scholars from three continents to discuss, in an interdisciplinary perspective, some pressing corporate governance issues, such as institutional investors’ stewardship and commitment to environmental and societal objectives, collective engagement, the resurgence of retail investors and their power to bring business corporations to pursue ESG goals. The virtual workshop will explore the institutional and retail investors’ engagement with corporate governance by placing emphasis on the expectations that citizens lay in their investments and in the corporate sector from both a financial and an ESG account. The virtual workshop will be divided into two sessions, during which scholars will discuss their work, also allowing questions from the audience.
