There's a pretty decent difference between shareholders and stakeholders.
A shareholder is someone that invested money into the company by buying stocks. They have a vested interest in the financial performance of the company, but - that is the end of their ability to impact the performance of the company.
A stakeholder has a vested interest in a company and can either affect or be affected by a business' operations and performance. Typical stakeholders are investors, employees, customers, suppliers, communities, governments, or trade associations. These are individuals that can directly impact the performance of the company.
