Social investment in recent years

19

Leaders in both business and civil society havefocused too much on the friction between themand not enough on the points of intersection. Themutual dependence of corporations and societyimplies that both business decisions and socialpolicies must follow the principle of shared value.That is, choices must benefit both sides. Thus, anaffirmative social agenda moves from mitigatingharm to reinforcing corporate strategy throughsocial progress.
