Mole Valley Chamber Breakfast, Dorking

Mole Valley Chamber Breakfast at The White Horse

Using your business as a force for good

Join us for this networking opportunity over a delicious breakfast at The White Horse in Dorking - and remember to bring plenty of business cards with you!

Our speaker will be David Cope from 600 Strategy who will be talking about using your business as a force for good.

“The business of business is business” said Milton Friedman in the 1970s, arguing that businesses should only focus on maximising financial return to shareholders. Fast forward almost fifty years and an influential group of 180 CEOs from the US made the case for stakeholder capitalism over shareholder capitalism.

Stakeholder capitalism means businesses consider their success in terms of how much they benefit their employees, the communities they operate in, and the environment, as well as financial returns to shareholders. These American leaders of industry didn’t suddenly find their consciences, but they recognised that business is part of society and so for business to thrive, society must thrive, and business has a role in ensuring society does thrive.

In this talk, David will talk more about what this means for you and your business and using business as a force for good. How might you demonstrate and improve the positive impact your business has on society? How can you find like-minded businesses to collaborate with? How will this help you gain new customers and demonstrate the value of your product or service over others?
