Abstract: Abstract Defeating poverty, mitigating the pace of global warming and the destruction of natural ecosystems, and advancing education, healthcare, and human rights are ambitious goals. National governments do not have the authority and resources to offer sufficient solutions, nor has the international community achieved binding and actionable agreements to address global problems. Only multinational corporations have the might, the financial motivation, the worldwide influence, and the long-term wherewithal to accomplish these purposes. Furthermore, businesses that are leading the way are showing that innovative solutions to social, environmental, and economic challenges can be profitable.
