Fast 50 Straight from Fast Company Magazine:
“THIS YEAR’S FOCUS: Our sixth annual global readers challenge will spotlight businesses that are helping to save the world. We’re looking for profit-driven problem solvers–people and companies out to address the planet’s woes and make money at the same time. Tell us about yourself, someone you admire, or someone you work with. But make sure your nominee is using new strategies, new ideas, or new technologies to tackle issues like global warming, pollution, sustainability, access to healthcare, poverty, trade impact, child labor, and other concerns. No charities, please. We believe that business–capitalist business–is a profound force for positive change. Help us prove it.”
How cool is this? Fast Company is highlighting “Bigger Game Companies”! They too believe that capitalism can be “conscious” and, and I like to say, a force for positive intentional evolution.
This move toward conscious capitalism, Bigger Game play, corporate social responsibility, and social entrepreneurism is really a growing phenomenon. Something new is happening on the planet. Or actually, it’s been happening on a small scale for many years, decades even… but I believe we’re reaching a tipping point, and we will only see acceleration from here…
So – get out there now – start your socially responsible investment portfolio (I have an appt next week!). Get in, and get involved! It’s time to jump into the pool, the water’s fine–refreshing, invigorating and there’s plenty of room…
Play bigger, play on…
