Can Business Really Serve the People, Planet, and Still Make Profits?

Introducing Plan B

It is exciting to see business leaders like Richard Branson take a leading role toward evolutionary benevolent change for people and the natural planet. I am sure Richard understands the level of destruction of nature and unequal distribution of income is leading business and society down the path to ruin.

Environmental destruction is self evident, just take a look around. Business has evolved to maximize profits and nothing else seems to matter.

When the 1% percent own as much as the bottom 90% we have a huge problem with wealth distribution and must be discussed on a societal level. It is a problem that can be solved when enough of us step up and get involved.

You are right Richard, we do need a Plan B. So get in on the conversation and help stir the pot of change.

    Yes, who better than Richard Branson for inspiration – I was very glad to read here about the B TEAM CHALLENGES. – We live in a world where poor people & countries suffer disproportionately the environmental & health effects of corporate greed. We, all people & businesses must aim for sustainable development & make decisions based on something greater than pure monetary profit.
