Global corporate citizenship

Description

Can global corporations remain profitable while also fostering social consciousness, environmental stewardship, and respect for local laws? This program explains why that is not only possible but necessary in the age of international business. Corporate accountability guru Dr. Simon Zadek describes what it means for powerful companies to behave conscientiously, while Profits with Principles coauthor Jane Nelson discusses the UN Global Compact concerning industry's role in ecological and community health. Equally notable is commentator Oded Grajew, founder of the Ethos Institute for Business and Social Responsibility-which endeavors to counteract the World Economic Forum's purely monetary globalization model.
