Edward Freeman

Edward Freeman is an influential American philosopher and business theorist, best known for his work in stakeholder theory. He argues that businesses should create value not just for shareholders, but for all stakeholders, including employees, customers, suppliers, and the community. This holistic approach encourages companies to consider the broader impact of their decisions, promoting ethical practices and sustainability. Freeman’s ideas have shaped modern corporate social responsibility and are widely discussed in business ethics, influencing how companies engage with their environment and the society at large.
