Vision from the crisis
Imagine that 2045. Which world do you see? Today’s headlines are a bright picture – draws a knocking knot of political, economic, social, technological and environmental crisis. But step back from noise and we can ask a more important question: which world do long for To see?
Although we distinguish the details, many of us can agree on the wide contours: a developing planet and a fairer society – a future livelihood and solid build and succeed in successive and strong life.
Work imperative
The role of the work in the formation of this better future is more than ever. However, the reality is clear: Business leaders agree that the material work, investors, customers and employees are expected to operate on social and environmental problems.
This work is the most attractive and the largest companies have moved to their cores. By understanding the social and environmental context of their activities, companies can better manage risks, reduce costs and unlock valuable innings.
It allows you to understand and communicate the full value of both the deeper understanding and enterprises only through products and services, and the cost of chain capabilities and tax revenues.
It requires a full business and the cost of understanding the value of society, cooperation with the alignment of internal silos and cooperation on public, environmental and basic business functions, such as finance, legal and procurement. It also means strengthening the external partnership to improve the sounds of those closest to the issues and change the scale.
Five bridges
Build five critical bridges, both companies to create value for both business and society, close teams, align and prioritize priorities. Together, these bridges give us practical steps to protect us today.
Bridge 1: To close social impact and basic business functions
Strengthening the connection between social impact teams and business functions such as business, legal, human resources and procurement – Core is important to have a social impact on business. This bridge is to build deeper relations, mutual learning and cooperation, which allows companies to resolve companies’ priorities to respond to new rules to develop justice and opportunities in the workplace.

Climate, nature, biodiversity and social capital are deep related, but companies often allocate these efforts. Establishing a bridge between environmental and social impact teams, helping businesses, to help trade and unlock chances, unlock the transition to the green economy, protect the transition and protect the transition to the green economy, both protecting human rights and protect the planet.
Bridge 3: Leadership, Management and Working Force Alignment

Providing strong corporate governance, accounting and long-term success, divide the strategy to the strategy of social and environmental priorities. This bridge has a common vision of culture, promotion and innovative, both work performance and sustainable society.
Bridge 4: Combining decision makers with the closest to matters
Very often strategies to solve social and environmental problems are developed without involving those closest to issues. It is based on the establishment of the bridge, ensuring solutions, based on local truths, expanding and reasonable. By working with the most affected social and environmental problems, companies can develop more effective strategies and develop strength and have a sustainable impact.
Bridge 5: Strengthening the cooperation of the cross sector
Solving complex global problems require businesses to cooperate with industries, politicians and civil society. This bridge allows companies to ensure collective activities that provide practice, reserves and others, increase the effects of operations while ensuring systemic change that any organization can achieve alone.
