How Courageous Companies Thrive by Giving More Than They Take


A Force for Good

by David Meyer

Former Unilever CEO Paul Polman and sustainability expert Andrew Winston issue a clarion call for businesses to embrace a new model, one that does good.

Note to companies seeking to thrive in today’s tumultuous environment: “Not bad” is no longer good enough. Instead of setting goals that minimize harm, former Unilever CEO Paul Polman and sustainability expert Andrew Winston call on corporate leaders to pursue “net positive” results – to make each company a force for good. From forming partnerships across sectors to changing worldviews, Polman and Winston offer a detailed blueprint to guide you in building thriving enterprises while making the world a better place. You can apply their actionable insights to make your organization net positive. 

All Stakeholders

Rather than putting only your shareholders first and focusing on short-term gains, a net positive company serves all stakeholders, gives more than it takes, operates within natural and moral boundaries, and improves everyone’s well-being.
