Redefining the Role of Business in the 21st Century by Paul Polman
This event gives you the opportunity to get inspired and to learn how innovation, diversity and operational efficiency will help you and your organization to go BEYOND.
What you will learn?
Runaway climate change and rampant inequality are ravaging the world and costing a fortune. Who will help lead us to a better future? Business.
These massive dual challenges-and other profound shifts like pandemics, resource pressures, and shrinking biodiversity-threaten our very existence. Other megatrends, such as the clean economy explosion and the unprecedented focus on diversity and inclusion, offer exciting new opportunities to heal the world, and prosper by doing so. Government cannot do this alone. Business must step up. In this seminal book, former Unilever boss Paul Polman and sustainable business guru Andrew Winston explode fifty years of corporate dogma. They reveal for the first time key lessons from Unilever and pioneering companies around the world on how you can profit by fixing the world’s problems, not creating them. To thrive today and tomorrow, they argue, companies must become "net positive" - giving more to the world than they take.
This is no utopian fantasy - courageous leaders are already making it real and the stakes could not be higher. With bold vision and compelling stories, Net Positive sets out the principles and practices that will deliver the scale of change and transformation the world desperately needs.
