Business and Society Program

Corporate Programs

 The Aspen Corporate Values Strategy Group (CVSG) seeks to re-introduce long-term bias in corporate and investment decision-making. CVSG is a forum for corporations and institutional investors to identify and promote changes in policy, business practice, and investment practice for long-term value creation that benefits shareholders and society. This includes the critical issues of managing to differing time frames, focusing on forward-looking, strategic metrics as indications of corporate health, and restoring trust in U.S. business. The Aspen CVSG hosted a series of intense dialogues in the first half of 2007 that culminated in the publication of the Aspen Principles for Long-Term Value Creation in June 2007, followed by Overcoming Short-Termism: A Call for a More Responsible Approach to Investment and Business Management released September 2009. To learn more about CVSG, please contact rebecca.darr@aspeninstitute.org.
