Welcome to the Purpose Inc. podcast, a conversation about corporate purpose and stakeholder capitalism.
The world is changing. Not entirely for the better. There is a growing belief that businesses should better serve all stakeholders – customers, employees, communities, as well as shareholders. In other words, business should have a Purpose.
Host Michael Young speaks with business leaders, writers, thinkers, analysts and critics of the evolving role of corporations in creating good in society.
