When will business adopt a values-based approach?

As companies recognise their connection to society goes deeper than the impacts of their share price movements, the time has come to tear down this particular defensive wall that many businesses have built around themselves.

The model of profit at any price has reached the end game as we realise we created only the chimera of long-term prosperity and that the great majority of people in the world are now paying the price for the creation of a tiny minority of super-rich. There is something of a paradox at play here. > THE GUARDIAN
