People and Planet Over Profit: United Nations Global Compact
Manage episode 289768478 series 2909758
Consumers matter, but it’s time for business itself to change. Shouldn't global business take as much responsibility as the rest of us when it comes to protecting people and planet? The United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) is working with the largest corporations in the world and asking them to honor the triple bottom line: PEOPLE, PLANET, and PROFIT. The UNGC’s mission is to guide global business onto a better path to protect the environment, equality, and human rights at every level. And they’re succeeding. Join us for our conversation with Claire Kells of the UNGC to learn about why businesses must come to the table if we truly want to change the world. If business changes, the world changes. It’s that simple. Join the conversation, start conversations in your community. Let’s make the change we want to see.
