Re: sentences 1&2, I agree. Many cos need to be fiercely regulated, taxed, sued, and sanctioned. Some need to to be nationalised.

Re: 3 - a perspective:

'The premise behind #consciouscapitalism is that businesses should operate ethically while they pursue profits...serving all stakeholders, including their employees, humanity, and the environment. They shouldn't limit the impact of their achievements to just their management teams and shareholders.'

We’ve added a third local #hospital to our weekly #coffee drop and this year hope to #donate three quarters of a tonne to them because hospitals aren't just for pandemics.

This is in addition to the 1% of sales donated to #WomensAid and 1% given to projects at coffee origins.

@nielspflaeging Businesses will not spend time or money reducing employee misery unless there's something in it for them, such as #consumerDemand requiring it or reduced #profit without it. Consumers can direct their spending towards businesses who practice #ConsciousCapitalism or #BCorp to achieve this: https://www.google.com/search?q=conscious+capitalism+businesses

This is the kind of thing I like most about our business model and what I mean by ‘conscious capitalism’.

Photos are from a co-op we buy from in Colombia. First picture shows how kids were getting to school (crossing a river by tree trunk). Second shows the bridge we funded. We subsequently funded another footbridge and hope to fund a third project this year.

If we can do stuff like this with 5 full time staff then imagine what a big corporation could achieve. #coffee #consciouscapitalism

Yes, November 7th at CU in Boulder.

#SharedOwnership is a better framework than #ConsciousCapitalism (!)
