CECP’s Strategic Investor Initiative (SII) announced that five CEOs—representing over $230 billion in market capitalization—will present their companies’ Long-Term Plans to institutional investors at CECP’s 8th CEO Investor Forum on February 24th, 2020, in New York City. The event will take place from 12:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. in New York City. While the event is at capacity, buy side and sell side investors, and financial media are invited to watch the presentations via the live webcast. Register today.

To date, more than 30 CEOs have shared their Long-Term Plans at seven CEO Investor Forums. The upcoming event will feature presentations from:

  • Stanley Bergman, Chairman & CEO, Henry Schein, Inc(HSIC)

  • André Calantzopoulos, CEO, Philip Morris International (PM)

  • Kevin P. Clark, President & CEO, Aptiv PLC (APTV)

  • Thomas J. DeRosa, Chairman and CEO, Welltower (WELL)

  • Scott G. Stephenson, Chairman, President & CEO, Verisk Analytics (VRSK)

Sonali Basak, Wall Street Reporter, Bloomberg TV, will emcee the CEO Long-Term Plan presentations.

In addition, the following individuals will share their perspectives on long termism and reflections on progress since the Business Roundtable’s Statement on the Purpose of a Corporation:

  • David Abney, Chairman and CEO, UPS (UPS)

  • Alex Gorsky, Co-Chair, Strategic Investor Initiative and CEO, Johnson & Johnson (JNJ)

  • Rebecca Henderson, Professor, Harvard Business School

  • Deanna Mulligan, President & CEO, The Guardian Life Insurance Company of America

“Investors and CEOs consistently tell us that there is too much emphasis on delivering short-term results,” said Nandika Madgavkar, Senior Director, CECP’s Strategic Investor Initiative. “The benefits of achieving short-term results often sacrifice long-term value creation. The CEO Investor Forum is meant to break that cycle and give investors insights into how executives are positioning their companies to manage risks, address ‘megatrends,’ and create value for shareholders and stakeholders over the long-term.”

The morning portion of the day includes the 15th Annual CECP Board of Boards,  a closed-door CEO-only case study discussion led by:

  • James Rhee, Executive Chairman & CEO, Ashley Stewart

  • Oscar Munoz, CEO, United Airlines

  • Gerry Anderson, Executive Chairman, DTE Energy

CECP is a coalition of over 200 of the world’s largest companies representing $6.6 trillion in revenues, $21.2 billion in societal investment, 14 million employees, and $15 trillion in assets under management. The Strategic Investor Initiative is a taskforce that leverages CECP’s CEO network to fundamentally change the conversation between CEOs, boards of directors, and investors from short-term profits to sustained long-term corporate performance by including financially material Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors. SII is co-chaired by Bill McNabb, former Chairman of Vanguard and Johnson & Johnson’s CEO Alex Gorsky. SII’s advisory board of leading investors represents more than $15 trillion in assets under management.
