Is the world better off because your business is in it?

Our economy and society are healing from the pandemic, but extreme challenges remain, such as climate change and inequality.

Based on his new book Net Positive – co-authored with legendary CEO Paul Polman – this inspiring talk from renowned strategist Andrew Winston will help you navigate the seismic changes sweeping through business. Net Positive explodes 50 years of corporate dogma about the purpose of business and how it thrives.
