  5. in today’s world… here, broadly, are our shared beliefs: • the third sector are stewards of the community and people in need • the private sector’s prime directiveis making money • the Big Society is an idea associated with David Cameron and volunteering • the main way that companies can helpcharities is by giving cash • philanthropy is about selfless giving to charity • that philanthropy helps fund charities who create interventions to support people in need

  6. and today’s world is reinforced by the authority of the press

  12. what has this got to do with business?

  13. successfuland sustainable business is based on the love of people

  14. origins

  15. business provides the life support of nations… water fuel food drink energy roads clothes transport homes medicine information technology

  16. the purposeof business is to create products and services that improve lives and make money doing it so they can keep doing more

  18. GSK’s purpose “ to improve the quality of human life by enabling people to do more, feel better and live longer.”

  19. Procter & Gamble purpose

  20. Philips’ purpose we improve the quality of people’s lives through the timely introduction of meaningful innovations

  21. I’m not saying this is the way it is for everyone I’m saying it is the way it’s going – because something justhappened…

  22. the big lesson of the recession by focusing on short term financial success, something went wrong… “ the need for responsible business engagement in the big issues of our time has never been more urgent… the current financial crisis is the result of short term and unsustainable business models… our experience is that companies that have put sustainability issues at the heart of their business strategy offer some valuable lessons for those negatively impacted by the crisis.” Samuel A. DiPiazza, Jr, CEO, PricewaterhouseCoopersThe World Business Council for Sustainable Development’s annual meeting of business leaders – Nov 2008

  23. the flipside of unsustainable business is sustainable business

  24. the key learning from the recession = companies pursuing short-term financial success bad = companies working towards long-term sustainable success good

  25. the big question for business in the new world what is our preferred future operating environment and what do we need to do to bring it to life?

  26. that always leads to actions for social change…

  27. do you think it matters to business if… …demand for water increases by 15% by 2030 and we face an unreliable supply of fresh water?

  28. do you think it matters to business if… …in the next 40 years,we have to produce as much food as in all of history up to now? source: Futurist, Glen Hiemstra

  29. do you think it matters to business if… …we use 2.3 planets’ worth of resources by 2050?

  30. do you think it matters to business if… …only 53%of people aged 18-65 are actively saving?

  31. do you think it matters to business if… …there are an additional 600,000 jobs lost in the next six years? source: Office for Budget Responsibility

  32. I haven’t yet mentioned… poverty…. oil…. literacy…. CO2 emissions…

  33. to achieve long-term success tomorrow, business needs to help customers act today to… move more eat well save water save energy use sustainable transport recycle more waste less help others collaborate more

  34. customers the biggest impact companies can have today employees

  35. the fact is… …this influential man was wrong “ there is one and only one social responsibility of business – to use its resources and engage in activities designed to increase its profits so long as it stays within the rules of the game, which is to say, engages in open and free competition, without deception or fraud.” the sole responsibility of business is to “ make as much money for their stockholders as possible.” Milton Friedman. Capitalism and Freedom

  36. these men are right…

  37. an inflection point “ we are at an inflection point unlike any other in history, and I believe Cisco has an opportunity to help countries, communities and citizens achieve their social and economic goals.” John Chambers, Chairman and CEO, CiscoCisco CSR Report 2009

  38. wake up calls “ global security… the preparedness of our coastlines and our cities… concerns about the safety of our food… the growing recognition of global warming… how mortgages can be packaged, leveraged and traded in ways that threaten the world’s financial system… constitute a series of wake up calls on a single subject: the reality of global integration… that is wonderful news – if we are wise enough to take advantage of it… the timefor action is now… if the world seizes this moment and does so in a truly systematic way, enormous and lastingprogress can be achieved.” Samuel J. Palmisano, Chairman, President & CEO, IBMIBM CR Report 2008

  39. long term commercial success and social progress are joined at the hip “ we are going to solve tough customer and global problems and make money doing it.” Jeff Immelt, Chairman and CEO, The General Electric Company

  40. “according to AT Kearney and the World Resources Institute, in a world of tougher climate change regulation, stricter policies on forestry and growing water shortages, food companies face a reduction in earnings of between 13 and 31% by 2013 – so even if a company’s moral compass is not sensitive enough to trigger action, self-interest should. There is a huge amount that businesses can do without help from the politicians – whether it is in their supply chains, their factories, the design of their products or in using their brands to educate people about more sustainable forms of consumption.” Paul Polman,CEO UnileverEconomist conference, 25 February 2010 it is a fact: there is a commercial imperative for social change

  45. we need to substitute our old beliefs for new beliefs… • we are all stewards of the future • our shared focus should be on real social impact • the only way to achieve that is through collaborative action • philanthropy is about thelove of people • and our shared prime directive is to do whatever we can to help each of us help ourselves and help others • the third sector should be working with businessto help companies achieve long-term success • this is an age of transformation • and transformation requires game-changing thinking

  46. “ when the accumulation of wealth is no longer of high social importance, there will be great changes in the code of morals. We shall be able to rid ourselves of many of the pseudo-moral principles… by which we have exalted some of the most distasteful of human qualities into the position of the highest virtues. We shall be able to afford to dare to assess the money-motive at its true value… a somewhat disgusting morbidity. “ …but beware! The time for this is not yet. For at least another hundred years we must pretend to ourselves and to everyone that fair is foul and foul is fair; forfoul is useful and fair is not. Avarice and usury and precaution must be our gods for a little longer still. For only they can lead us out of the tunnel of economic necessity into daylight.” John Maynard KeynesEconomic Possibilities for our Grandchildren (1930)
