Make money and do good, shared value philosphy

This is our future, its how mankind can meet its full potential





NEW YORK — Admitting you are making money by doing some good in the world is no longer a dirty little secret, it's called "creating shared value" — the new catch phrase in corporate and philanthropic circles.

More than 70 chief executives met in New York on Monday, International Corporate Philanthropy Day, for a Committee Encouraging Corporate Philanthropy conference, where one of the key topics discussed was creating shared value.

As the U.S. economy slowly recovers from the worst economic downturn in decades, corporate philanthropy is no longer just about writing a check for charity as executives look to use their core business to do social good.

"Once you understand the impact you can have ... then you are on mission, then it becomes spiritual, it becomes part of the DNA of the company," said Bill Green, chairman of Accenture, who spoke at the conference about maximizing profit and improving society.

What are you doing, Out here making all these posts ignoring the one in which you just told a bold faced lie?

You claimed Wis had a balanced budget until "Walker came in a cut taxes on the Rich"

Care to provide a link that proves that? or do you admit you are nothing but a liar?

Evil corporations doing good things? How very unusual. Not. Welcome to the world of conservative values, Truthdon'tMatter.

He can't provide a link. It's TM. He doesn't know what he does.

As for this thread, it's all good and dandy and koombaya. And voluntary.

The problem is when a government has lots and lots of men with guns, and they say "You're gonna give us 10% MORE this year than you did last year, on behalf of the greater good. And if you don't pay, these men with guns are gonna take you to jail."

Voluntarily giving some of your money to charity is noble. Giving a reasonable amount through taxes is accepted.

But we are getting into tyranny now.

And I'll be waiting for Al Gore and George Clooney to donate everything above $2 million that they own to this noble cause.

Please prove that these people are all conservatives Cali?


Do you have any idea how partisan what you said is?

You see, it's not ok to just do a good thing without making websites and tee shirts for the world to see.

Countless companies do good things and never get credit. They do it just because it's a good thing to do, and aren't looking for recognition or credit. I have a personal story about the Maersk company helping my family a lot, and we have no connection with thm, they just did it.

But I suppose in lefty land they need a website, a convention, a cause, a documentary and some cool protest t-shirts or else it wasn't worth it.

Why should she prove anything to you?

You make wild claims like "wis had a balanced Budget before Walker came in and cut taxes on the rich" and you feel you do not have to back that up.

In fact you just run away when you are called on it.

You have the most Ironic Name in this place.

You would not know the truth if it bit you on your dishonest ass honey.

The Clinton Global Initiative, which has brought together chief executives, world leaders and humanitarians annually since 2005 to address global woes, hopes to further encourage U.S. companies to create shared value with a summit in Chicago on June 29 and 30 to address the fragile U.S. recovery.



This was not started by one party or the other.

This is merely and example of good ideas that work for everyone.


Please refrain from trying to make political points for one time in your lives and just be a proud American patting on the back people trying to make their world a better place in really smart ways.

This is our future? This is what businesses have been doing for thousands of years! This is what you rant and rave against all the time. These are the "evil" corporations you always talk about.

There are only two ways to make money in the world:

1) Deceive people
2) Provide them with goods and services that they need and want.

The left has demonized companies that have done number 2 for decades and suddenly now you want to pretend its a new option? As if everyone previous to this was just out to decieve people.

Notice how she just ignores me? Because she is a blatant bold faced liar.

The bitch is a flat out liar... pretty much common knowledge

You dont seem to be really grasping the philosophy.


Its opperating your business in a way which automatically askes at every move How can we improve the world WHILE making money.

Itg has NOT been how the American businesses have mostly opperated.

Some have and many have not.

The crash would have never happened if it had.


You people trash all the time businesses who think green and try to help.

Do you even remember Ben N Jerrys and the kind of things the right would say about them?

If a business is making a lot of money, then they are offering a service or product that a lot of people want. Thus, they are helping the world. And helping the individuals they employ.

Not everything has to involve hugging a frog or kissing a tree.

I don't need to prove that charity is a principle of conservatives, TruthDon'tMatter. We already know that.

Charity is an honorable thing. Giving willingly to those who are less fortunate or to support a cause or ideal that we feel passionately about is second nature. It is the left who support forcibly taking money from people and giving it to those they deem worthy of it. That's not charity, that's theft.

Oh and.... as for partisan.... that's the pot calling the kettle black. The difference between us is that I am capable of non-partisan comment.... you are not. You march lock step with your Messiah.

TM is a woman.


I know, I was shocked myself.

For example, WalMart is helping the world.

How many kids have food, or decent clothes, or toys or medicine or a bicycle or a bb gun or a video game or ice cream or a fish tank or a playground set......................or anything else that WalMart sells for a price that lower class people can afford, where they otherwise wouldn't.

A single mom can buy more Christmas presents at WalMart than Toys R Us. Thats a good for the world thing, right? I know we didn't have a campaign and t-shirt and movie to advocate saving the Pink-Striped-Flying-Wart-Worm, but some good came out of it anyway.

Since your google is broken..

The budget problems for 2011-13 were exacerbated by recent tax cuts. Note, however, that the recently enacted tax cuts don’t affect the current fiscal year. To quote the Legislature’s nonpartisan (and highly regarded) fiscal office, “It is estimated that, together, these three bills will reduce general fund tax collections by $55.2 million in 2011-12 and $62.0 million in 2012-13.” See page 11 of this report (pdf), which also describes the tax cuts. (So, in a technical sense, the tax cuts didn’t create the current-year shortfalls that in turn are creating the specific opening for the 'budget repair bill' [Which is the bill including the collective bargaining restrictions -- Ezra]. However, it is true that the tax cuts are worsening the state’s overall budget picture, and it is the state’s overall budget picture – not the current-year picture alone – that the guv is using to justify going after the workers.)

You dont seem to understand the program.

Its NOT charity , its doing business in a way that helps your community and suppliers while making money.


Why is this concept so hard for you to grasp?
