Comment: Whether through conviction or pragmatism, business leaders are redefining the role of their corporations and the nature of capitalism, writes Stephen Bartholomeusz

When a local chief executive pops up to talk about social issues, they inevitably attract fierce criticism from commentators and some shareholders who believe CEOs should only talk about operations and profits.

They stressed that the long-term interests of all stakeholders, which included customers, employees, suppliers, communities as well as shareholders, were inseparable, pointing to issues such as diversity, social inclusion and the environment.
