Aspen is a place for leaders to lift their sights above the possessions which possess them. To confront their own nature as human beings, to regain control over their own humanity by becoming more self-aware, more self-correcting, and hence more self-fulfilling.

Leaders Forum members gathered in NYC in March 2014 to focus on how to effectively communicate the value of CSR/sustainability initiatives to the mainstream investor community. Several Aspen First Mover Fellows — exceptional business people working at the intersection of corporate profitability and social/environmental value — also participated in the meeting. Leaders Forum members were encouraged to bring a colleague from investor relations/ finance so that they could deepen this conversation within their own company.
The meeting featured an interactive demo of ESG data by a Bloomberg analyst and a conversation with Michelle Edkins, Managing Director and Global Head, Corporate Governance and Responsible Investment, BlackRock. This theme has been identified as a priority to the Leaders Forum members and will continue to be a focus moving forward.
