| Abstract: | Institutional investors are increasingly becoming active owners through voting their shares and engaging in dialogue with investee companies to improve corporate environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) performance. Herein, a model of stakeholder salience is applied to the shareholder context, analyzing the attributes of power, legitimacy and urgency, to determine the factors likely to enhance shareholder salience. It is found that a strong business case and the values of the managers of investee companies are likely to be the most important contributors to shareholder salience. |
