Summary
Tomorrow’s Company has been thinking about the role and responsibility of owners since our formation in 1996.

Our report, ‘Tomorrow’s Owners: stewardship of tomorrow’s company’, was published on 8 October 2008, the very day that large parts of the UK banking sector were taken into public hands. This report made a distinction between the real economy, the financial economy and the casino economy and described how ownership of shares was becoming more global. More importantly, it warned about the erosion of stewardship. “If the activities of the ‘casino economy’ within the global economy grow to such an extent that they begin to dominate the system, they may undermine the ability of companies to create and sustain themselves over the long term, and to play their full role in addressing the problems that society faces.

Since then there has been a welcome rallying of support for the exercise of stewardship in the UK, and our concern now is that this momentum goes beyond principle and is followed through in practice.

In 1944, FD Roosevelt proposed a new Bill of Rights.  Due to his untimely death it was never progressed.  Perhaps it is time to pick up his ideas once again.

Tomorrow's Company has played an important and leading role in developing the argument for stewardship, and in so doing has helped to create the conditions which have led to the establishment of the Stewardship Code in the UK.   We are now building on this impact, to establish a new momentum for stewardship and understanding of what this means in practice - by tackling both the demand side (setting out  'Why Stewardship Matters' and developing toolkits to help each participant in the system to be more effective in their pursuit of stewardship) and the supply side (working with fund managers, investment consultants and FRC to develop the “stewardship spectrum” and establishing criteria through which excellence in stewardship might be identified and rewarded in the market).
