If we want to change the world, we need to integrate all aspects of the economy into society, including businesses. Businesses need to act as a force for good. The future of business lies in the concept of moral values where business acts responsibly as a core contributing part of society. For-profit businesses can contribute to a better society and a greener planet. But often, the relationship between business and society can use improvement. This is your chance to send a clear message to the businesses and political leaders of today, from you; the leaders of tomorrow.
