If a corporation is a person, shouldn’t it have the same civic responsibilities as people?
Profit without responsibility is an illness that has infected far too much of our collective corporate culture.
Is the purpose of corporate profit to benefit a small number of executives and the shareholders, or a larger more inclusive purpose?
The rise of the millennial and millennial values, have also given rise to the socially responsible business movement.
Sure, there have been socially responsible businesses before, but we are seeing a bigger shift.
Be prepared to see a shift in our collective use of resources, and the ways in which businesses operate. It’s become a necessity.
Leadership is changing, and so are the values of consumers.
We will finally begin to answer the question of whether a business can benefit when it takes care of the community around it, instead of just the investors that demand quarterly profits.
I’m looking forward to it.
