“In reflecting on the 20 years since ICGN was first established,
what resonates is the endearing friendships we create and a shared
vision to promote good governance in all corners of the world. The
underlying principles of transparency, accountability, fairness and
responsibility are just as relevant today as they were two decades
ago. I encourage you all to maintain the momentum, cherish the
memories and embrace the challenges and opportunities ahead.
Together, you can help drive consensus and reform for sustainable
economies upon which our future generations depend.”

The ICGN's Annual
Conference in Amsterdam was an
excellent event and superbly executed
with a veritable who's who of the corporate
governance world in attendance, allowing its
global membership to come together to debate,
discuss and network with each other. This is precisely the
reason why Goal Group is a proud member, sponsor and

Sustainable
capitalism
Why is the theory of sustainable
capitalism so difficult to achieve in
practice? Indra Nooyi provides the
answers and a way forward.
THE VIEW FROM THE BOARDROOM
Much has been written about
sustainable capitalism. It’s been
the subject of discussion for many
forums, prestigious think tanks and
academic institutions. Some people
have lauded the concept. Many have
criticised it. Many companies have
actually struggled to deliver on this
notion. What is it and why is it so
difficult to deliver on?
When I think of sustainable capitalism,
I’m referring to private enterprise that
manages itself for a certain level of
returns, balanced with the duration
and sustainability of these returns. It
is business that balances stakeholder
concerns with shareholder needs, and
most importantly, it is business that
recognises that, wherever it operates,
it does so responsibly.
Engine Charlie
There’s an enlightening story about
sustainable capitalism that begins in
the early 1950s. It concerns a man
named Charles E. Wilson, nicknamed
‘Engine Charlie’ because he was the
CEO of General Motors.
In those days, General Motors was
truly an iconic American company.
During World War II, Engine Charlie’s
General Motors had secured the
largest government contract of any
corporation. After the war ended, GM
controlled 50 per cent of the domestic
automobile market and employed
more than 600,000 people.
When President Eisenhower needed
to select a Secretary of Defense,
Engine Charlie seemed like the natural
– and uncontroversial – choice. But
then came the confirmation hearings,
where the Senate Armed Services
Committee asked Engine Charlie if he,
as the Secretary of Defense, would
be prepared to make decisions that
were in the national interest, but were
adverse to General Motors’ interests.
Charlie responded with one of the
most infamous political gaffes ever:
“What is good for General Motors,”
Wilson reportedly said, “is good
for America.”
“What’s good for GM is good for
America” became a cultural proof
30 ICGN YEARBOOK 2013
“It can be very tempting to put
all our energy into maximising
short-term returns, but the
country also needs private
enterprise to manage for the
long term.”
point, indicative of the ‘arrogance’
of the business community. But the
irony is that Engine Charlie never said
that. In fact, he had said exactly the
opposite. He said: “I cannot conceive
of a situation where America’s
interests and General Motors’
interests do not align, because for
years, I thought that what was good
for the country was good for
General Motors.”
It can be very tempting to put all our
energy and resources into maximising
the level of returns in the short
term; but the country also needs
private enterprise to manage for
the long term. This is the challenge
for business leaders: to effectively
balance both the level and duration of
performance in an environment that
perhaps does not fully appreciate the
need for this balance.
These words, stated back in the
1950s, are profound: “What is good
for the country is good for General
Motors.” I would like to pick up on
this theme and explore “what is good
for our country” as a starting point for
sustainable capitalism.
This is no easy task. Managing for
duration means that you do not
generate wealth and opportunity
today at the expense of others, or at
the expense of future generations,
shareholders and society alike. It
requires adequate levels of investment
by every company in areas like longterm research and development,
people training and development,
and organisational renewal so
that companies can address the
challenges they face to operate
successfully in today’s volatile,
global, highly-competitive, uncertain
environment. It also means worrying
about a company’s impact on society.
A company that keeps its costs down
by deliberately dumping its waste
into a nearby river may be delivering
the levels of profit a company needs
in the short term, but it’s certainly
not delivering on duration, because
somebody else has to pick up those
costs to society.
Measuring performance
We can all agree that any successful
economy has to have economic
growth and security. This is only
possible with a thriving private
enterprise that generates strong
returns, and constantly renews itself
to sustain these returns for the long
term. For a country to be able to
thrive, plan and invest in important
priorities like education, healthcare
and infrastructure, it has to have
the confidence in both the level and
duration of returns from
private enterprise.
We all know how to manage for a
desired level of performance. We
have quarterly financials, constant
share price updates, and financial
dashboards that show us the
level of performance at any
given moment.
Unfortunately, I’m not sure that
private enterprise is delivering on the
imperative of sustainable capitalism.
In fact, I can say with a great degree
of confidence that, despite the
awareness of the incredible longWWW.ICGN.ORG
