This brilliant piece by John Kay really stands the test of time.
It’s an article about the role of business in society.
He penned it back in 1998.
It’s really really really worth reading several times.
Email it to everyone you know.
Here’s a quote from it:
“Business which is selfish in motivation, narrow in outlook, and instrumental in behaviour is rarely successful business”.

I'm Tobias Webb, founder of Innovation Forum and Sustainable Wine. I write on this blog, with others, about areas of interest to me in supply chains, circular economy and sustainability in general. I hope you find it useful. I've worked in sustainability for about 20 years, and work with large companies, NGOs and governments all over the world. I often act as facilitator, at our conferences, and other meetings, either private or multi-stakeholder. I also work as a 'critical friend' advisor to companies on strategy and stakeholder engagement. I have a separate wine website on sustainability in wine at Sustainable Wine and more on Innovation Forum`s work can be found here.
