Conscious Capitalism is a new business paradigm that encourages companies to embrace purpose beyond profit. Family businesses - whether they're small/medium enterprises with a local-regional impact, or large international corporations - are noted for fostering a culture that naturally embraces the concepts of Conscious Capitalism. This event for community leaders from family businesses, as well as from non-family companies and not-for-profit organizations, will provide an introduction to Conscious Capitalism and its Four Principles of Purpose, Stakeholder, Leadership and Culture.
