Stakeholder capitalism (and strategy) has come up a lot in recent credit union strategic planning sessions. It's the latest phase in the evolution of the eras of capitalism (managerial, shareholder and customer). Stakeholder capitalism and credit union strategy are two distinct concepts that share a common focus on inclusivity, sustainability, and long-term value creation. While stakeholder capitalism supports the idea that businesses should consider the interests of all stakeholders, credit union strategy revolves around serving the needs of its members and the broader community. However, many credit unions are aligning with stakeholder capitalism principles to enhance their strategic approaches.
