CFO Day in Amsterdam
On 16 & 17 June, Chief Financial Officers (CFO) and financial executives will gather in Amsterdam for the CFO Day. The theme of this year’s CFO Day is ‘Managing the Stakeholders’.
Amsterdam: financial capital
It is no surprise that this event is being held in Amsterdam. The city has a long and illustrious heritage as a financial innovator, spawning the first central bank and being the site of the world's first stock exchange for example.
In addition to the major Dutch financial institutions, the region has nearly 60 branches of foreign banks and over 100 international insurance companies.
Managing the Stakeholders
The corporate landscape has changed significantly since the credit crisis and companies can no longer be judged purely on their financial results. Companies have to deal with a multitude of social forces and doubt is now being cast on the beneficial operation of the capitalist system. This means that more than ever society must be a subject of discussion in the boardroom.
Therefore, the organisation of the CFO Day believes that today's corporate environment calls for attention to be paid to all stakeholders and not just to the shareholders.
