Change the world: how CEOs use “business for good” to attract talent and customer loyalty

Generally, companies that make this list transform into two categories – established companies that use their size as a force for good; And the startups that have built all of their commercial models to tackle an urgent problem.

Giants, as you can expect, can quickly get big results. This year’s CTW includes Carrier Global, the CVC and refrigeration giant of $ 22 billion. Carrier has committed five years ago to make its product range much more energy efficient: since then, they believe they have reduced CO2 emissions from their customers sufficient to feed 65 million houses for a year.

Startups, on the other hand, are agile enough to quickly develop and deploy products, then develop to meet major needs. The minerals of rare earths on which many energy, technology and defense companies depend are, well, as we have learned from recent trade tensions; The cyclical materials, from Toronto, stands factories to recycle them. The shortages of chronic teachers deleted many communities; The startup based in San Francisco, Amira Learning, has developed an AI-focused platform that helps instructors develop reading instruction courses for more children, more efficiently, and it is already used in more than 4,000 school districts.

What changes global companies of all sizes in common is a leadership that is committed, from the CEO at the bottom, to the infant and to the implementation of ideas that change the world. The concept of “trade for good” between and out of fashion, but enlightened leaders prove again and again that remaining faithful to their ideals helps them attract a deeper talent basin and retain customers.

By the way, the best leaders around the world will meet for the Fortune Global Forum in Riyadh on October 26 to 27. We would like to see you there; Learn more about it here.Mate house
