Corporate Thinking Has Evolved Over the Past Decade

- Let’s minimize the problem and throw some money at it to show we’re contributing

- CSR & Philanthropy is about corporate reputation

“It is a problem”

- We need to add costs to fix the problem

- We need to report transparently on our results

- We can use our core business capabilities to find solutions

“Let’s solve the problem”

“It is not a problem”

- Let’s ignore or understate the problem

- Let’s minimize our responsibility

- Philanthropy is about personal values

- We can lower costs, grow revenues, or differentiate our value proposition by addressing social problems

- Even social problems we don’t usually affect pose opportunities

“It’s an opportunity to create shared

value”

• The long-term competitiveness of companies depends on social conditions− An educated and skilled workforce− Safe working conditions − Sustainable use of natural resources− A flourishing local economy

• Business has an essential role to play in solving social problems− Only companies can create prosperity that funds government and civil society− Companies can create solutions to many social problems in ways that governments and

NGOs cannot− Competitions fuels innovation and efficiency− For-profit models are the most scalable and sustainable

− Businesses can overcome constraints that limit their growth

The “externalities” we have ignored have substantial internal effects

Societal and Corporate Success are Inextricably Linked

Reactive to consumer pressure

No industry-led coalitions that include the entire supply chain

Unstable customer-supplier relationship

Opportunity to be proactive

EICC engages the entire supply chain and can establish a common agenda

Stable customer-supplier relationships

Apparel Industry Electronics Industry

Small, poorly managed factories Well-managed factories and operations

• There is an opportunity to transform thinking and practice about the role of the corporation in society

• Shared value gives rise to far broader approaches to economic value creation

• Shared value thinking will drive the next wave of innovation, productivity enhancement, and economic growth

• Businesses acting as businesses, not as charitable givers, are arguably the most powerful force for addressing many of the pressing issues facing our society

• A transformation of business practice around shared value will give purpose to the corporation and legitimize business again
