Chapter 1 in In Good Conscience, 2022, pp 1-10 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In this opening chapter we outline the core argument of the book, which is that businesses are in a unique position to tackle such crises as climate change, biodiversity loss and inequality. They have the creativity, knowledge and resources that can help improve our world. However, this requires commitment. All too often businesses have not engaged sufficiently with these crises. To have real impact in tackling such social and environmental issues, businesses need to ensure that they integrate them into the core of what they do. This is an issue of conscience. Companies that use their conscience to make decisions have the opportunity to do the right thing—and as the arguments in the book show, which we preface here—be profitable at the same time.
