Corporate social purpose: the podcast!

Published on January 19, 2022

I pivoted to thinking about social purpose for the corporate world five years ago and have been championing it ever since because I truly believe it is essential for organizations, humanity, and our planet, to survive, and thrive, in the long term.

Its focus on profit as the primary purpose of business is a threat to human and planetary well-being.
