Areas of work ‌Leaders in both business and civil society have focused too much on the friction between them and not enough on the points of intersection. The mutual dependence of corporations and society implies that both business decisions and social policies must follow the principle of shared value. That is, choices must benefit both sides. Thus, an affirmative social agenda moves from mitigating harm to reinforcing corporate strategy through social progress�.
