Join BDO’s Hitesh Shah, leader of our San Jose Board Roundtable series, in discussion with Raj Sisodia, Co-founder of the Conscious Capitalism movement, as he introduces the concept of Conscious Capitalism and the potential impacts of embracing the movement in your organization.

Key Takeaways:

Conscious Capitalism is a philosophy based on the belief that a better form of capitalism is emerging that holds the potential for enhancing corporate performance while simultaneously advancing quality of life for people globally.
Conscious Capitalism is grounded in four tenets: higher purpose, stakeholder integration, conscious leadership and conscious & caring culture
Conscious Capitalism explores the possibility of embracing all the positives of capitalism while simultaneously reducing the negative impacts of business in the support and advancement of humanity.
There are many benefits of being a conscious business that can counter some of the more significant issues facing companies today: increased employee engagement in the attraction and retention of talent; promotion of customer loyalty/advocacy; development of stronger supplier relationships; uplifting of communities, etc.
While you may be successful operating your business in the traditional manner of maximizing profit and share price, broader stakeholders are increasingly demanding more and companies who do not embrace a conscious model increase the risk to their future business strategies and competitiveness.
