The days of solely serving shareholders are over simply because their interests are now best served when you look after the communities and world they live in. Contribution and profit are increasingly inseparable and that's a very exciting shift in business. Thanks for your thoughts, Simon</p> Thanks Wilson and I completely agree.

The notion of brand, besides acting as DNA for a company and what it stands for, is increasingly shifting to include how that brand contributes to the society. Many established Fortune 100 companies are involved in some measure to improving the lives of people around us. We never forget that a key responsibility of a business is to be profitable. I think these crop of entrepreneurs are reminding us of another important role of any business: to be a positive force for our community's well-being. Thanks Simon for highlighting The GOOD100.

That said, I agree about how sad it is about the Sundance show. I think there is still work to be done to make sustainability and personal accountability a source of civic pride. Only then with those sort of shows get the popular support they deserve. Till then, let's support each other in this direction in our lives and professional work. Thanks so much for the input, Simon</p> <p> </p> Romy,

Their communication through design is excellent.  I am also a fan of the growing movement to switch the paradigm of the capitalist system from hoarding for a few to benefiting the many. Making money isn't a bad thing in itself. It's just another resource. The real problem is the making and dispersing of products or by-products that pollute the planet and our psyches in order to have and hoard money. There was a really great show on the Sundance Channel called Big Ideas For A Small Planet. It showcased indepedent businesses in a broad spectrum of industries. They profiled people who are figuring out how to stop harming the environment while still making a profit. I hear the show has been cancelled. It's too bad. I learned a lot from it.
