商品描述

The first edition of A Better World, Inc. showed how companies can profit by solving global problems. Increasingly, companies and investors are capitalizing on these opportunities. The three factors necessary for success were revealed to be effective corporate governance, stakeholder engagement, and collaboration. Racial equity and justice, and gender equity, were also themes in the original edition.

By drawing on new research and case studies, this updated edition shows that inclusion and sustainability are in fact fundamental prerequisites for prosperity for companies and society. Specifically, racial inequity and injustice, and gender inequity, are systemic problems that impede businesses from achieving their greater potential in the global marketplace; in the meantime, society suffers as well.

The second edition of A Better World, Inc. builds on the first by showing that companies have the power and incentives - and their boards of directors have the responsibility and the authority - to drive solutions to social, economic, and environmental challenges. Readers will learn how companies and their boards, together with nonprofits and governments, can drive prosperity by centering equity and sustainability.

This edition is organized to address environmental, social, and governance practices, which are priority interests for investors, media, the public, government, and others to assess company practices and profitability.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

第一版的《A Better World, Inc.》展示了公司如何透過解決全球問題來獲利。越來越多的公司和投資者正在利用這些機會。成功所需的三個因素被揭示為有效的公司治理、利益相關者參與和合作。種族平等與正義以及性別平等也是原版中的主題。

透過新的研究和案例分析，這一更新版顯示包容性和可持續性實際上是公司和社會繁榮的基本前提。具體而言，種族不平等和不公正以及性別不平等是系統性問題，妨礙企業在全球市場中實現更大的潛力；同時，社會也因此受苦。

《A Better World, Inc.》的第二版在第一版的基礎上，展示了公司擁有推動社會、經濟和環境挑戰解決方案的權力和動機，而其董事會則擁有責任和權威。讀者將了解公司及其董事會如何與非營利組織和政府合作，通過以公平和可持續性為中心來推動繁榮。

本版的組織旨在針對環境、社會和治理實踐，這些是投資者、媒體、公眾、政府及其他人評估公司實踐和盈利能力的優先關注事項。
