Unlocking Shareholder Value Through Corporate Behaviour Insights (with Imperial College London)

Join Ceres Investor Network and Imperial College London’s Leonardo Centre on Business for Society as we explore Corporate Behavioural Insights — a groundbreaking new perspective on how investors can drive meaningful, measurable — and monetisable — impact. 

Moving beyond traditional ESG frameworks, the Leonardo Centre’s research highlights the role of observable corporate behaviours in delivering both sustainability outcomes and long-term shareholder returns. 

Part of London Climate Action Week, this session brings together leading voices from academia, business, and finance to explore how a behaviour-led approach could revolutionise corporate sustainability — and whether it offers a more effective alternative to ESG. 

Objectives 

• Explore how this new corporate behavioural science can strengthen investor impact. 

• Examine the relationship between sustainability behaviours and shareholder value. 

• Discuss whether a behaviour-led approach can complement — or even replace — ESG. 

• Identify practical steps for organisations looking to embed measurable behavioural change, from the actions that are nice to-dos and those that actually drive transformative progress. 

Expected Outcomes 

Attendees will gain insight into how a behaviour-led approach can accelerate corporate sustainability action, strengthen accountability, and unlock long-term value — positioning both investors and the businesses they back to move beyond ESG toward practices that are more measurable and impactful.
