Who Is This For?

The insights and opinions from Survey Participants in this report will be valuable for a wide array of people. Fellow business leaders, in Canada and around the globe, can use this report to learn about different perspectives from their Canadian colleagues as part of their own thinking on the evolving role of business in society. Academia as well as university students interested in business, public policy, or law, can use this report to gain perspective on where things currently stand and to contemplate what they want the future of business in Canada and around the world to become.

The hope is that this report can help business associations, not-for-profits, and policymakers better understand what kind of support and regulatory changes could be considered to strengthen the role of business in society.

This report is also for the general public. Everyone has a role to play in influencing the relationship between society and business through their choices such as who they choose to work for, vote for, and purchase from.
