Southwire – headquartered in Carrollton, Ga. – employs at-risk teens with the caveat that they must remain in school and graduate.

Southwire also employs high-performing students as a part of their engineering academy to solve critical challenges facing the company. The solutions these teams developed saved Southwire $10,000 and opened up $300,000 in potential revenue this year (2013 profitability projected at $2 million). This “win-win” is an example of creating shared value, a business philosophy that addresses social issues while also financially benefiting a

company. Our panelist, Carol

Godfrey, vice president of

marketing and product

development, manages the company’s engineering

academy.

The Keynote Conversation with Global Thought Leaders The Keynote Conversation with Global Thought Leaders

The d.school at Stanford University (formally known as the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design) is a place where students write on the walls and ceiling and find new uses for ramen noodles (an actual class assignment). But it’s not all pipe cleaners and Post-it notes at the d.school. Partnering with companies such as Facebook, Procter & Gamble, Kaiser Permanente, Google, JetBlue Airlines and many others, d.school students have

formed five companies and created an array of breakthrough solutions for impoverished communities across the world. Debra Dunn spearheads a course called Design for Sustainable Abundance and a program called FEED Collaborative, where she teaches d.school students how to utilize the power of entrepreneurship and innovation to tackle the world’s toughest social problems.

As a former Hewlett-Packard (HP) senior vice president of corporate affairs and global citizenship, Dunn has over 20 years of business industry and innovation experience. Recognized as a leading champion and proponent of social entrepreneurs, Dunn serves on the boards of B Lab – where she is a founding board member – and the Skoll Foundation. She is a trusted advisor to IDEO.org, the African Leadership Academy and numerous social entrepreneurs around the world.

Capitalism is an unparalleled vehicle for meeting human needs, improving efficiency, creating jobs, and building wealth. But a narrow conception of capitalism has prevented business from harnessing its full potential to meet society’s broader challenges. The opportunities have been there all along but have been overlooked. Businesses acting as businesses, not as charitable donors, are the most powerful force for addressing the pressing issues we face.

The resource fair brings words to action by connecting participating organizations with conference attendees who are inspired to find new ways to move the needle and collaborate. Each year we invite select NGOs, corporate foundations, social entrepreneurs and academic institutions to join the GWI Resource Fair to benefit from the exposure to civic and business leaders outside their normal reach. Whether it is bettering society, advancing legislation or promoting sustainability, we want to give attendees immediate ways that they can engage in creating shared value while simultaneously giving our resource fair participants the ability to advance their missions.

The ROLE of the 21st Century Business

FAQ’s About the 2013 Global Women’s Initiative

What is Creating shared value? Creating shared value is a fresh and powerful approach to business that is rooted in the belief that companies can address societal challenges while concurrently

enhancing profits and competitiveness— businesses doing well

by doing good.

Why Does Shared Value Matter? Business has been the villain for too long. There is an unrecognized profit

opportunity for those who can weave social needs into economic and

financial value. CSV takes business beyond charity to overall value creation.

Medicine, Emory University and many more

women board directors outperformed those with the

least by 66 percent. - Catalyst Bottom Line Report
